Which language do you speak?Digital Natives (1980)
• Have always had digital tools
• Use these tools “as extensions of their bodies and minds”
• Quick to adapt/share
• Thrive in poly-focal environment
• Prefer multi-dimensional & multi-modality approaches
Digital Immigrants
• Have a certain “accent”
• Question technology
• Take time to process, evaluate and share
• Prefer mono-focal environment
• Have learned through a one dimensional approach

So if we are teaching for digital immigrants, and our students are digital natives . . .
Aren’t we using a different language than our students in the classroom?

Shift Happens . . .– A teaching and learning paradigm shift
– 94% of college students reported that learning on the computer was easier.
– 88% preferred digital content over a text.
– 90% like using computer to learn
• According to 2015 Pearson Study, “The vast majority of college students agree that tablets will transform the way college students learn in the future (83%)."
• ”College students are more likely this year than last to feel that tablets make learning more fun (79%) and help students perform better in class (68%). Both of these measures are up significantly from last year .”

Blending and FLIPping
• According to Bergmann and Sams, ”The classroom needs to go back to be a social, cooperative learning environment. We can use today’s tools to lecture, watch, interactively read, and even collaborate. Ultimately, students become more responsible for their own learning.”
• Isn’t this what we attempt to do in most ESL classes? So, how is this new?

What do we know about language learning?• Language is interrelated and meaningful whole
• Language is an integrated process
• Time exposed to the target language is critical
• The classroom atmosphere affects learning
• Learners need to take an active role
• The more motivating the content is, the more the student will engage.
• The more a student is engaged in content, the more a student will learn.

2016 indicated that ESL/ESFL students in a FLIPped classroom achieved SLOs at higher rates that those not in a flipped classroom, and reported a greater comfort with content.
• Department of Education 2009 study found that students in a blended learning course performed significantly better than those in an online or face-to-face course.
