My name is Naomi Robins. I am an EAL (English as an Additional Language) Instructor and sometimes workshop facilitator. I visualize language learning as a continuous journey. It can be full of emotions-from anticipation, to nervousness, to fear and joy. Every step can lead to new insight and senses of achievement, or test one’s patience. Sometimes the road is smooth and one can make great progress, while other times it can lead to pitfalls, mountains to climb, rivers to cross, and plateaus, but unless attempted, nothing is achieved. Every new skill learned leads to insights about oneself, open doors for new communication and more roads to journey along. It is with this vision in mind that I embark on this course. In this voyage of discovery, I hope to develop a greater awareness of social media technologies available, and develop ideas in how to apply them in language learning.
