Our world is changing rapidly and so are the needs and
wants of our learners. Mobile phones and social media have
become staples in students’ daily lives. Many work from home
and value flexibility in when and where they learn. English has
become an essential tool for international communication,
and so have many transferable skills that are crucial to our
learners’ employability in a landscape where new jobs and
tasks are constantly being created.
It can be tricky to define ‘innovation’ and often, when we
talk about innovations, it is easy to only focus on technological
innovations. However, innovations go beyond technological
advancements. In the world of English language teaching
(ELT), innovation introduces new and original elements in
methodology, design, content, and, of course, in technology.
However innovative, technology shouldn’t be used for the sake
of using the latest technology because innovation is about
addressing and solving current challenges and offering fresh
solutions. It is about adapting to changing needs and contexts
and enhancing learning outcomes. It is about reimagining old
ways of teaching and learning and attempting new pedagogies.
In other words, innovation is about moving forward with the
way we do things because it can make things more effective
and more efficient for the educator and the learner.
The excerpt from the text “It can be tricky to define
‘innovation’ and often, when we talk about innovations, it
is easy to only focus on technological innovations” shows
two instances of the use of an ambient “it” or empty “it”.
Unlike the common pronoun it, empty it does not refer
to anything; it simply serves a grammatical function. In
other words, empty it has a grammatical meaning, but no
lexical meaning.
Mark the alternative in which it has a lexical meaning.
