As one of the oldest and most influential foreign language
pedagogical journals, The Modern Language Journal (MLJ)
offers valuable insights into how technological advances
have affected language teaching and learning at various
points in history. The present article will review the proposed
pedagogical use of technological resources by means of a
critical analysis of articles published in the MLJ since its first
edition in 1916. The assessment of how previous technical
capabilities have been implemented for pedagogical purposes
represents a necessary background for the assessment of
the pedagogical potential of present-day technologies. In this
article I argue that, whereas most “new technologies” (radio,
television, VCR, computers) may have been revolutionary in
the overall context of human interaction, it is not clear that
they have achieved equal degrees of pedagogical benefit in
the realm of second language teaching. I further claim that
the pedagogical effectiveness of different technologies is
related to four major questions: (a) Is increased technological
sophistication correlated to increased pedagogical
effectiveness? (b) Which technical attributes specific to new technologies can be profitably exploited for pedagogical
purposes? (c) How can new technologies be successfully
integrated into the curriculum? and (d) Do new technologies
provide for an efficient use of human and material resources?

A new age has dawned in additional language teaching
methodology which directly reflects wider changes in the
world. In the corresponding sea-change in educational
philosophy, Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL)
presents an opportunity and a threat to accepted language
teaching practice. As with immersion, formal language
instruction remains integral to most CLIL models. But for this
to be synchronous to subject teaching through an additional
language, curricular and methodological adjustment is often
required.
The ways in which content and language are integrated
influence decision-making on how each is handled within the
model. For example, this may be through language-learning
preparation before the CLIL course, language learning
embedded in the CLIL course, or language learning parallel
to the CLIL course.
A useful starting point is to consider the content of
learning. The concept of what constitutes content in a CLIL
context is much more flexible than selecting a discipline from
a traditional school curriculum such as geography, music,
biology or physics. Whilst curricular subjects such as these
might be appropriate for some CLIL programmes, contextual
variables such as teacher availability, language support,
age of learners and the social demands of the learning
environment may mean that a different choice of content is
more appropriate. In other words: what exactly is meant by
‘content’ in CLIL will depend on the context of the learning
institution.
However, the crucial point here is that, no matter whether
issues concerning the content or the language are more
dominant at a given point, neither must be subsumed or the
interrelationship between the two ignored.

Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) was a 1970s
reaction to much that had gone before, and has guiding
principles: first, language is not just patterns of grammar with
vocabulary items slotted in; it also involves language functions
such as inviting, agreeing and disagreeing, suggesting, etc.,
which students should learn how to perform using a variety
of language exponents (e.g. we can invite by saying “Would
you like to come to the cinema?’, ‘D’you fancy coming to the
cinema?’, ‘What about coming to the cinema?’, ‘How about a
film?’, ‘Are you on for a film?, etc). Students also need to be
aware of the need for appropriacy when talking and writing
to people in terms of the kind of language they use (formal,
informal, tentative, technical, etc). CLT is not just about the
language; it is actually about how it is used.
The second principle of Communicative Language
Teaching is that if students get enough exposure to language,
and opportunities for language use, and if they are motivated,
then language learning will take care of itself. Thus, CLT has a
lot in common with the acquisition view of language absorption.
As a result, the focus of much CLT has been on students
communicating real messages, and not just grammatically
controlled language. The deployment of many communicative
activities, where students use all and any language they know
to communicate, shows this aspect of CLT at work.

No one who speaks English has any difficulty
understanding the meaning of a sentence like ‘It’s warm in
here’. We all recognize that it is a comment on the temperature
in some place or other. But why it is being said, and what
the speaker wishes to convey by saying it, depends entirely
on two things: the context in which it is said and what the
speaker wants people to understand. Suppose, for example,
that the words are spoken by someone who is either lazy, ill
or in some position of power. ‘It’s warm in here’ might then be
either a request or an order for someone to open a window.
If, however, two people come in out of the cold, ‘It’s warm in
here’ might well be an expression of satisfaction or pleasure.
In each case, the sentence is performing a different language
function, e.g. requesting, suggesting, etc.
