From Barriers to Bridges: The Impact of Technology on Language Learning
Abstract
Various digital innovations have been used in schools across the country to support both academic and social language development for students with limited English proficiency. These programs have, in many circumstances, been considered to be a supplemental support or intervention. However, technological advancements now allow educators to implement these programs, websites, and applications within classrooms, making academic and social impacts on instruction, grading, and assessment of students in English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) programs. Technology has also simplified communication between teachers and families. Examples from the author's first year as an ESOL teacher shared in this chapter demonstrate how digital innovations can lead to meaningful, equity-oriented outcomes for language learners, their families, and classroom teachers.
