LEARNING IN 21ST CENTURY

 

Living in 21^st century has some consequences. Since the technology has developed so fast our lives got more sophisticated. From shoping to training every aspect of our lives has changed.

 So that learning in 21^st century has nothing like learning in 16^th century. Reaching information and sharing information are so easy these days. We are able to learn anything we are curious about in anytime and at anywhere. This convenience impacts the productivity and activeness of people. Since we consume the information quickly we produce more. Thus, in the end of this circle there occurs an interaction.

Depend on these vast changes language education has changed too. In 21^st century there are more expectations from student than teacher. Because teachers are not the main source of information anymore their role switched from domination to guide. Students should be more active and creative in the class. They should practice the information that they learn. Also supporting the lesson with the technology is essential.

What do you think about these changes in learning? Would you have the passive role or the active role in the learning environment?
