Digital technology can never be the teacher of the future but it will be the teacher\u2019s assistant, playing a supportive role which can make a valuable impact on learning outcomes. Technology can handle tasks that a teacher cannot do \u2013 whether through lack of time, or resources \u2013 and can add real value to the classroom. It\u2019s important, for teachers to understand that a positive, proactive relationship with technology can help them and their learners. To achieve these outcomes, however, teachers need to expand and maintain their knowledge of learning technologies, and develop their ability to critically assess digital learning tools in order to identify those which offer the greatest benefit to their students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What teachers can do better than tech<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A fundamental role for the teacher is to foster social learning. Social learning features interaction, discussion and collaboration between students, and creates a positive, inter-personal learning climate. It involves taking a flexible and interactive approach which encourages engagement across the class, while also retaining a \u2018real-time\u2019 sensitivity to individual needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridgeenglish.org\/blog\/anything-teachers-can-do-can-technology-do-better\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read full article<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Cambridge Assessment English we\u2019re often asked if digital technology will replace the language teacher and our answer is always \u2018No\u2019.
