The course aims to expose you to a range of practical techniques for exploiting learning technologies in the EFL classroom through the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) Moodle, to encourage you to reflect on the pedagogy behind the use of learning technologies and to raise awareness and enhance the motivation of you as English language teachers to use learning technologies in the classroom.

All the online modules have an underlying belief that activities using learning technologies in the classroom should be driven by pedagogy and not by technology and that students learn languages best through a communicative, constructivist approach.
