Social media and language learning

Have you thought about engaging your language learners by harnessing real-life examples that they view on social media? In this episode of the Hub Chat Postcast by the Macquarie University Teachers’ Learning Hub, Dr Yeong-Ju Lee talks about how to use technological innovations in language education, and how you can promote informal language learning using TikTok and Instagram. She shares pedagogical strategies for teachers to integrate multimodal and real-life practices into language classrooms and encourages students to “play” with language using social media.
