1Background Information
Have you ever wondered why you as a teacher should turn your teaching upside down and replace methods that have proven well for so many years? Why do text books, paper and pencil not suffice any longer to deliver language content? Why do so many people these days praise the so called 'new media' instead?

Not only claim today’s employers a profound command of at least one foreign language, but also to be computer and internet savvy.
