Chatting on net makes fun. We are just like giving messages which are brief yet informative. Though it has communicative convenience, I won’t take that means for in-class use. One thing is that we can’t log on in the classroom and most importantly is that chatting can be real face-to-face form which encourages students especially ESL learners to express orally. Unlike blog which can provide time and space for people to post things after careful thinking, chatting presents a in a synchronous way which is more suitable for discussion.


After operating technological methods, I do believe language teaching should accept changing and challenging technology. However, those can be effective only providing that are used in a proper way, that is to say , it must be content-focused. We instructors should know how to make the teaching process flexible and interesting by using different technology. I would like to encourage students to use chatting for discussing about interesting issues concerning classes, campus life or whatever. It can’t replace the teacher’s instruction.
