At Bertamini Language School, technology doesn’t replace the teacher; it enhances their teaching. It’s a tool that supports learning and adapts to each student’s needs – whether lessons are conducted in person or online.
When Technology Becomes an Ally
We use technology to:
- implement modern pedagogical methods such as the Flipped Classroom
- enrich lessons with multimedia, podcasts, quizzes, and creative projects
- tailor teaching to each student’s level and learning style
- cultivate critical thinking, autonomy, and active participation
Technology facilitates access to knowledge and offers flexibility, especially in online and blended courses. Content is no longer static; it comes alive, moves, and evolves – right along with the student.
Smart Use of Technology: Tips for Students
Technology can truly elevate your progress, if you use it systematically and consciously. Here’s how:
- Set a schedule: 15–30 minutes a day is enough. Don’t wait to “find time” – create it. Consistency is the secret.
- Combine resources: Videos, podcasts, quizzes, short exercises: variety keeps the mind alert and breaks the monotony.
- Digest, don’t skim: Take notes, create your own sentences with new words, summarise. Active engagement builds memory.
- Speak and record yourself: Don’t be afraid to listen to yourself. This helps you recognise your mistakes and improve quickly.
- Choose, don’t just consume: Don’t watch videos aimlessly. Select those that connect with your lesson, activate your mind, and make you think.
- Ask for feedback: Progress accelerates when you have guidance. Ask your teacher to comment on your spoken or written attempts.
- Connect it to your daily life: Change the language on your phone, shop on foreign sites, watch recipes, memes, or videos in the language you’re learning. Learning doesn’t stop in the classroom.
Remember: Technology doesn’t learn for you. But when you use it with purpose, guidance, and imagination, it becomes your most powerful ally.
