4. language is defined as a system for
communicating. As ELT we should :

decisions about their learning.
help them continue using the target
language outside the classroom

Development)
as well as the
learners’ values and
concerns.
8. -The students have
a degree of control
of what they learn

e-mails, the Internet,
mp3/4 players,
tablets, cell phones, and instant
messages are integral part of
their lives.

18. The conclusion is that our
students, Prensky holds,
process information differently
from their predecessors…
Their thinking patterns have
changed…
And I believe that’s the case!
