Where is the technology-induced pedagogy? Snapshots from two multimedia EFL classrooms

This article deals with the introduction of technology to the classroom. This research was carried out in China in two differnt classes, one of them used more technology than the other.


The results demonstrated that despite using technology no changes were made in any of the classrooms. Both classes were teacher-centered, he was the main source of knowledge, so students depended on him. It can be explained because of the conservative view of knowledge of the Chinese society.


As we saw in this research the introduction of technology only made a change in the appearence of teaching, so we can conclude that technology alone is not enough, what is necessary is a change of mind, a change in the concept of teaching an learning and also in the teacher-student relationship.
