Highly interactive social networks (e.g. Twitter or Facebook) offer possibilities to create personal content in virtual space that can be shared with other users. These multifaceted platforms support both formal and informal learning scenarios. Due to their high popularity, educational institutions become more and more interested in integrating them into their teaching practice. In this article, the author shows the payoffs and pitfalls that can arise by implementing social media in the foreign language classroom.

This study aims at investigating the discursive practices of a reflective teacher in the foreign language classroom, as well as to verify whether reflective teaching practice contributes or not to the process of (self)emancipation and social transformation. The main concern is to understand what she says, as well as what she really does in the classroom context. In the analysis I used recordings of interviews and classroom interaction based on SFG and CDA.

With the progress of new sensor technology and Internet technology, wearable devices have gradually become the new favorite of the science and technology industry. They have been applied to various fields because of their wearability, mobility, user-centered, interactive, integrated and augmented reality characteristics. Given the shortcomings of traditional foreign language education at university, wearable technology is introduced into foreign language classroom as an auxiliary form of traditional teaching. This article chooses two courses (171 and 172 courses) to test whether wearable devices have an impact on college English teaching. The English level of these two classes is similar. With the assistance of wearable technology, level 171 is selected as the experimental course; 172 is a regular course, using only traditional teaching methods, and the experiment lasted for a semester. Practical teaching is also carried out in the class. Practical teaching results show that wearable technology assisted English teaching can not only improve students’ ability to master knowledge, but also greatly enhance students' interest in learning English.
