Xxi Century Skills in Teaching English

Abstract

Technology is changing our world. Routine knowledge and skills are being automated, digitized, and outsourced. Universities, governments, and businesses from around the world have worked together to understand the skills that students will need to succeed in the 21st century. Students today have access to so many different technologies and so much information. It’s important to teach them how to make the most of it. Learning how to work effectively and respectfully with other people is an important life skill. Collaborative activities are also excellent for English language learners because they encourage speaking and listening skills.
