One communication tool that would be very efficient for me
to use in a Spanish classroom would be IM (Instant messaging). This
communication tool can be used for students to engage in discussion. This would be
great to set up a classroom chat to exchange ideas and thoughts, and also to
practice Spanish writing. They can
participate in conversations in Spanish as part of homework assignments with
each other and provide printouts of the conversations for their grade. This will allow me to assess my student’s
grammar and written communication skills. Such an assignment would be ideal for
higher level Spanish students. Instant
messaging would also allow students to collaborate on projects or assignments
by sending pictures, files, or videos.
Instant messaging is also a very easy to use tool and convenient for
students, since there are a number of instant messaging services available for
free on the internet.
