Integration Corner

While I was browsing through the integration corner, I found a website about writing activities for the web specifically for the use of foreign language teachers. Since I am a French education major, I found this to be very interesting and potentially very helpful for the future.
The World Wide Web is a very useful tool that can aid students in the mastery of a foreign language. It is useful especially in a foreign language class because it is very easy to find cultural documents and information. Foreign language teachers at the Technology Workshop of the Summer Institute of the California Foreign Language Project created web pages for all levels of students that are great examples to go off of in creating your own web activity. Also, since beginning level students often have trouble with reading assignments, these websites give reading strategies that can help the students in comprehending what they are reading. This can be much more beneficial to the students because they will be able to get help online from the website when they do not have a teacher available to ask for help.
I think these web activities could be very useful for my future French classroom. It will allow the students to be more interactive and they will be able to gain more knowledge, especially culturally, than just simply through in-class activities.
