Technology and Teachers

Ms. Deepti Jindal

Language Education and Second Language Acquisition The field of education has changed much in the last few decades. Traditional ways of education are giving way to newer, more innovative ways of thinking about how we learn, teach and acquire knowledge.

Language education, the teaching and learning of a language, which includes improving a learner's mastery of her or his native language, is more commonly used with regard to second language acquisition, which means the learning of a foreign or second language. Learning a second language has become very important today as we are in a world where globalization and cultural diversity are becoming part of our daily lives. People need to learn a second language as they need common languages in business, tourism, technology, media, science and other fields. Whereas in countries like Japan and China, teaching of one foreign language at primary and secondary level has been made essential, the countries like Malaysia and Philippines, Singapore and India, have made English a second official language.
