 Re: Electronic dictionaries in class! Good or bad?
I get your point and I'd allow them to play games if some of the common games like 'Tetris' 'topedo' 'car racing' contributed in the learning process.
Dictionary yes but the electronic one, I am still to believe in it.
No need to mention some of the meanings they get which are totally different from what was intended for the student.
With all of them punching words to get the equivalent in their mother tongue I just get the feeling that it's more of a translation class than and English language class. There is very little effort to speak or understand anything in English becuase the little computer is there to spell out everything in the mother tongue.
I don't know if there is anyone out there with the same experience |
