It is apparent that learning methods have evolved with technology over the years, and most teachings have left the four walls of the classroom. Some still haven’t; but fortunately, language learning has. There is a basketful of reasons that make it necessary to use technology in this field, one of which is the difficulty of learning a new language. It is a special skill because the process of picking up a new language requires the brain to construct brand new linguistic structures; a herculean but achievable task. This is another fitting situation for the application of technology. Rather than being forced to comprehend at the pace of fellow course mates in a classroom, mobile applications and tutorial videos for language learning help students learn whenever, at their own pace. They also come in handy in cases where one needs to learn how to converse in specific situations, such as a vacation or business trip. In a conventional learning structure, it isn’t always easy to track daily progress. However, students learning with mobile applications can track their daily progress, and may even get suggestions on how and where to improve, depending on the application. With the improvements made by technology in language learning, it is clearly now an easier pursuit.
