This week we have talked about twitter in class. This is kind like a quick blog, so I can update the new and interesting things that happened about or around me. You can tell your friends your website so they can check your blog as well. In this way, twitter can be used in daily lives.
Twitter can also be used in language teaching and learning. Learners can search certain topics on the twitter in target language, such as food, entertainment, music. The more the learners expose to target language, the better the learners can understand the culture and topics about target language. Teacher can ask student to go to twitter to search certain topics and ask them to give a presentation on those topics, in that way, students read the website in target language and summarize information from that website to practice reading and speaking skills.
Twitter has a lot of pictures which makes it a vivid way of learning language. The varieties of topics, the colorful pictures, will all help learners to learn language better and faster.
