Theoretical Foundations

Abstract

To a large degree, as Masie (2006) has argued, nearly all teaching and learning is ‘blended’ with technologies in some way. Paper and pencils are technologies, for example, and learners use them as a basis for interaction, presentation and creative play. Increasingly, university language teaching and learning is being done in smart classrooms that are equipped with whiteboards, networked computers and display screens alongside a range of digital mobile devices (Garrett, 2009).
