Short description of the presentation As the technology has been developed, learners can easily reach the real information in target languages through the web. However, these are mostly targeted to native speakers of the languages. So, it is very challenging for learners to understand them without additional aid. Yet, it is unfortunate not to take advantage of the accessibility and an abundance of the real information. With proper guidance these web pages can be used effectively to enhance student learning. In this benkyookai, we can discuss the pedagogical design, and teaching techniques, how we can use the web in language learning classroom in order to enhance learners' reading and communication skills.
