resources available in the market and on the web nowadays might stay largely unexplored in the classroom
unless the teachers are aware of the great potential that these resources have for language learning. Hence, it
might be necessary sometimes to familiarize teachers with the technology potential in their various classrooms
so that they may transfer this information to their own students through direct or indirect ways.
Another important consideration is the students' attitude towards technology and how this attitude may be
modified or changed through exposure to certain experiences. Some students, for instance, still think that online
reading is a slower and more demanding process due to their low proficiency and underdeveloped computer
skills Sokolic (2014). This attitude could be changed once students are trained into technology use as part of
their daily classroom work and assignments.
One may also argue that digital technology as a gateway to accessing more authentic language sources should
always be emphasized. This is especially important in the case of college students who look up to the university
to provide them with intensive language exposure and input that would positively enhance their overall language
proficiency. Focusing students' attention on the information they need to get or involving them in some type of
competition may divert their attention from the challenges involved in the laborious process of reading authentic
sources online. Such extensive reading of authentic resources would surely lead to the incidental learning of
vocabulary and development of overall proficiency.
Another consideration is that although this generation is technology savvy, they may still need special guidance
when it comes to discovering the special features and potential of technological tools that they may not think
about using unless they are asked or required to do so.
Overall, and as Sokolic (2014) has recently argued, teachers and researchers should always remember that
incorporating technology in our classrooms would not be effective unless it is guided by our specific teaching
objectives and by the students' language learning goals.
