Nowadays, it is rare to find a language class that does not use some form of technology. In recent years, technology has been used to both assist and enhance language learning. English teachers in Vietnam have incorporated various forms of technology to support their teaching,
Some technology tools enable teachers to differentiate instruction and adapt classroom activities and homework assignments, thus enhancing the language learning experience. Distance learning programs can enable language educators to expand language-learning opportunities to all students, regardless of where they live, the human and material resources available to them, or their language background and needs. Further, English teachers can engage students in the learning process, provide authentic examples of the target culture, and even connect their classrooms in Vietnam to classrooms in other countries where English is spoken. The effectiveness of any technological tool depends on the knowledge and expertise of the qualified language teachers, so Ministry of Education and Training of Vietnam has organized thousands of IT classrooms throughout the country to enhance technology skills for English teachers.
Technology continues to grow in importance as a tool to assist teachers of foreign languages in facilitating and mediating language learning for their students and all the teachers are trying to make sure that students will acquire a second language more effectively with the help of technology.
