Teaching New Media

The session on creating websites showed me the possibilities and the enhancement of learner-centred approaches towards teaching languages by using new media. Despite that, it seems to me that the use of new media is restricted. Hitherto, the lessons we experienced were all embedded into the end of the unit plan, at least I think so, so that we as students had to think of possible realizations of aspects that were already learned in the unit. Consequently, there was few input, but much application. This is not a bad thing at all, but hitherto, I ask myself the question which methods are there to combine new media with concrete learning input, apart from simple research on the web.
