 Language learning materials are evolving along with technology to become interactive, personalized, and multi-media-rich forms. You can provide opportunities for using, adapting, and developing materials in an online environment!

Factors we should consider before choosing a material;

    Is it available? Can I use technology in this classroom?

Factors to focus on;

    Purpose

    Authenticity
