Social Network for Language Learning

Retrivied from : http://caraloginfacebook.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
          Technology is like primary needed in this era. We can see some real phenomenon in Jakarta where almost of people will use their mobile phone, iPod, etc. in anywhere. It is not wrong, because we are digital native now. In addition, technology is used in some of terms which are industry, government, education, etc. Now, I want to focus on education term, which wants to talk. Actually technology allows teacher to provide students with various facilities to teach. Candlin and Murphy (1987) said in their book that technology can be achieved through student collaboration on authentic task and project.

In addition there is some popular social network now, which is Facebook, Google, Skype, Youtube, and Webquest which can use in language learning. Actually, they can be used by the teacher as tools to teach students in classroom. However, there are not perfect things in this world. So, social networks have strengths and weaknesses.
