In learning any languages, we as learners need to have the four basic skills. They are listening, speaking, reading, and writing. If we try to remember when we were new baby born back then, do we still remember how did we acquire our mother language? It goes naturally, even we did not feel like we were learning it, but we have the four basic skills. Then, what if we learned another language? What should we do in order to have the four basic skills in another language too? Can technology help us in acquiring a language through the four basic skills? How about in writing? Will technology be helpful?
We all know that listening and speaking are connected, reading and writing are integrated. There are some approaches that are used to teach writing, however technology is also keeps improving day by day to help people. There are four major approaches: Form-focused Approach, Process-focused Approach, Content-based Approach, Reader/audience-dominated Approach.
Back then people really concerned about the grammar in writing, so they were really focusing on accuracy. However nowadays we can still find the same issue, due to that, form-focused approach is more applicable if we are really focusing on accuracy. As time passed by, other approaches are also being used until now. Different approaches could be used, it depends on what we are focusing on.
