Integrating Technology in English Language Instruction

FOREWORD

"Integrating Technology in English Language Instruction" is a methodology course organised by Pearson Education. I took part in it at the end of October this year (2013) courtsy of our Ministry of National Education. I decided to submit some of my work related to this course on this blog (which I started a while ago and planned to dedicate entirely to translations) for several reasons: lack of time to design a new one and its convenient title. Trans-latio - this course is about how we, teachers, trans-late technology in the English class. "Trans" (Latin) means "across", "beyond". "Latio" comes from "fero, ferre, tuli, latum" which means to carry, bring, tell, relate. The books that I chose as blog cover are a mere translation of our experience between two covers. Their motley image is a mirror of the dappled beauty of the world; and however attractive books may be, it is always good to remember that they were called "le cendre de la vie" (the ashes of life) by Simone de Beauvoir.
