The role of technology in language and literacy education

As Dourish and Bell (2011) have pointed out, “The technologically mediated world does not stand apart from the physical one within which it is embedded; rather, it provides a new set of ways for that physical world to be understood and appropriated” (p.132). But those new ways of understanding and appropriating are not likely to be developed automatically. A favorable disposition of mind is a prerequisite. And that disposition is probably best fostered in educational settings. Young people today learn digitally mediated modes of expression largely outside of school, and those out of school uses of digital technologies are often more varied and more sophisticated than those they encounter at school (Jenkins, Purushotma, Weigel, Clinton, & Robison,2009; Lundby,2008). This raises the question of what the function of schools should be with respect to digital technologies and literacy. If literacy is the know-how needed to deal with the technology of writing in a given culture, and if globalization and its attendant social and technological changes have simultaneously increased individuals’ control of and control by technologies of communication, then I would suggest that the answer to the question above is that schools need to foster literacy that includes a dimension of critical semiotic awareness.

According to the text, the technologically mediated world influences the understanding and appropriation of the physical world, therefore what role should educational settings play in this context to improve students’ awareness?

Scholars from various theoretical backgrounds have continuously defined and redefined genre from different perspectives. Chouliaraki and Fairclough (1999, p.21, apud Meuer,2013, p.151) investigate the concept of language use within society, emphasizing that the relationship between language and society is not unilateral but dialectical. From this perspective, the analysis of social practices offers the advantage of providing a nexus between abstract structures and their operative mechanisms, thus reconciling the divide between “society” and the lived experiences of individuals.

Genres, according to what is being appointed above, are defined according to their

“The main difference between classroom assessment and large-scale educational assessment is the context of the classroom. The learners are there as learners, and the teacher is there to engage with the learners in the learning process. This is true irrespective of whether the teacher is viewed as a facilitator, an imparter of knowledge, an expert interlocutor, or whatever other model one may choose to use.” (Fulcher; Davidson, 2007, p.24).

In Language Testing and Assessment: An advanced resource book, Fulcher and Davidson (2007) state that there are important differences between largescale testing and classroom assessment, although the latter usually benefits from concepts presented in studies related to the former. Based on such divergence, it is correct to say that:
