The document discusses scenario analysis for how English language teaching and learning may evolve with new technologies. It explores using tools like social networks, video apps, 3D environments and augmented reality for language tasks. The key advice is that teachers should leverage technologies students already use, like Twitter or Foursquare, to design new exercises. However, teachers must also be aware that some tools may not last long-term and should diversify the technologies used over time. Major trends identified include increased mobile learning, more task-based learning via Web 2.0 apps, more video and multimedia resources, and using communication tools and augmented reality for language practice.
