Here is Question 2:
2. The first quotation comes from an article by Ortega (1997). You can find the complete article in http://llt.msu.edu/vol1num1/ortega/default.html, if interested in its reading. The second quotation comes from one of the assigned readings. How can you relate these two quotations? What ideas come to mind for discussion? Does it bring to mind any recent experiences in the design of materials with technology?
" [...] the newest technologies can be made to serve the most traditional pedagogies, and the philosophies of language teachers [my emphasis] can shape the uses of technology within the language curriculum so as to preserve a rather behavioristic view of language learning"[...]
(Ortega, 1997, p. 84).
"The design of multimedia and hypermedia materials must be based on the underlying question of how to integrate Second Language Acquisition (SLA) principles with the capabilities of the learning environments." (Chun & Plass, p. 161).
