=Creating LOTE resources using ICTs =

There are many and varied ways that you can create learning activities and sequences for LOTE classes. The internet provides a rich source of:
 * existing artefacts (videos, pictures, diagrams, readings, audio, maps, advertisements etc etc). These artefacts can be selected, sequenced, combined and exploited for language learning
 * free software and interactive programs for the development of authentic resources to be used by your students either online or in the classroom

The list is always expanding but the following websites are of particular use to language learning
