Teaching tools such as PDA(personaldigital assistant) are used in a lot of courses, including language, history andscience. Many teachers are supporters of using PDA in language learning. They saythat students now have a lot more time for discussion in the classroom. Insteadof spending valuable class time listening to texts or watching teaching videos,students can do these in their own time and come to class prepared of discussion.
The teachersalso say that PDA allows students to learn without their teachers' help. Some studentsmight listen to a dialogue only once and understand it. However, other studentsmight listen to the same dialogue again and again to understand it. Using PDA isespecially helpful to students who are learning a language at different levels.Students are also happy. They believe that using PDA is a more enjoyable way tolearn.
