          This case study is obviously applicable to my literature review paper as it aims to underline the role tools of technology have in teaching a language. It talks about various strategies and techniques which can be used in order to help students to learn a language and improve all four (reading, listening, writing, and speaking) of their skills by integrating technology into classroom activities. There are many technology tools such as the internet, computer assisted language learning programs, presentation software, electronic dictionaries, chatting and email messaging programs, listening CD-players, and learning video-clips that facilitated the learning environment.
          The reason that I selected this article is because it talks about the role of technology in teaching and learning a language. In fact, this will enable me to find how technology tools can be used in order to improve students’ reading, listening, writing and speaking skills properly, as well as which tools are appropriate to make these improvements. Additionally, it provides me information about different strategies and techniques to support teaching and learning environment.
