Since the Industrial Revolution, technology has penetrated and has become an integral part of our daily lives. In fact, it seems impossible to imagine life without technology. Most people around the world can get technology in some way. Therefore, this technology is deeply rooted in our culture. Its roots are very deep, and now people are not smartphones, people who are not watching smartphones are special. As a result, smartphone and the Internet revolutionized our way of communicating and our way of communicating.
Most people think ELTjam is mostly a blog. When we set up a blog, our idea is to start studying how technology influences English teaching. What we do not want is that it is 100 cool things related to interactive whiteboards. We also want to raise the lid a bit in EdTech's terrible big world to understand what happened there. In the past three years, we have already said something important, and I am proud of what we have achieved. Unless we change the way of thinking about ELT, we give serious warning about some of the things that can happen, but unfortunately some of these things have already happened. I just saw this recently, but please do not get caught up in it now.
In George Orwell's paper 'Politics in the UK', Orwell believes that English is ruin. What is the reason why English crashed? The answer is completely in technology. Technology affects English in many ways. Today, infants are allowed to carry mobile phones, text messages are the source of their main communication. These children often kill English with a text message. They use erroneous grammar and often do not break punctuation marks.
As the evolution of English and the emergence of "world English" made the world more familiar and the connection between people of different languages and cultures increased, English became a tool for communication and became a common language of English. Today's global societal English role can be traced back to a unique evolutionary history that should be understood at two different levels. The first level of evolution experienced in English is the nature of the language itself.
