This post is my final reflection on the overall effectiveness of this
course for me. I am more than convinced that this course meets the needs of
Armenian learners in general as it is rich in new ideas, new teaching methods
and new sources of information. I can certainly say that this course is one of
the most useful ones as it has provided me with some useful information, skills
and knowledge.

Some other technologies that I have successfully integrated into my
English classes include podcasts and videos. I have noticed that since the day I
started using these tools my students’ level of interest and engagement in the
class activities have significantly increased. Besides, these technologies greatly
contribute to the improvement of their oral and aural skills.
Generally speaking, technologies have helped me to make my classes more interesting,
interactive and meaningful. In my view, they are a good means of connecting the
classes to real-life situations and to the learners’ personal interests. They
also foster team buildingwhich, I think is really important in EFL learning.
However, the integration of technologies into the class syllabus should
be carefully considered and planned beforehand. When choosing a specific type
of technological tool, educators should take into some essential factors such
as user-friendliness, easy and free access, availability and some other related
issues.
The action research project that we worked on during this course helped
me to consider in detail the steps needed implement a specific tool
effectively. You should consider the course syllabus, the topics covered during
the course, as well as the time it takes to get the learners used to the tool.
Although I have already inegrated a few technologies in my courses I will certainly try to experiment with new tools so as to make my classes more interesting and useful for learners.
Finally, technologies are subject to constant change and development, and, I think, English teachers should always be informed on the current trends so as to be able to make use of the new tools and try to integrate them into their teaching experience.
