In any teaching-learning process, the use of these tools play a vital role as it helps meet the demands of the leamers in the 21" Century classrooms. As described by Palmer (2015), teachers need to demonstrate 21 Century characteristics to be able to meet the demands of the 21" Century learners. These characteristics in the context of language teaching are briefly presented for teachers to: 1. create a learner-centered classroom and make instruction personalized because learners have different personalities, goals, and needs; 2. facilitate the students’ productivity skills so they can produce, when assisted and given the chance, movies that are helpful to enhance their language proficiency; 3. leam new technologies since technology keeps on developing and learning a tool once is not an option for teachers; 4, go global to allow students to learn languages, culture, and acquire communication skills virtually; 5. be smart and allow the use of devices as aids to language acquisition; 6. do blogging. This will give teachers real experience to see the value _ of writing for real audience and establishing their digital presence; 7. go digital to help promote the “go paperless” advocacy and to help evel up the language learning experience of the students through digital discussions and alike; 5 8. collaborate with other educators and students to give opportunity for the sharing of great ideas beyond a conversation and paper copy; 9. use web chats to share research and ideas and stay updated in the field; 10. connect with like-minded individuals through using media tools like the social media; + introduce Project-Based Learning to allow students to develop their driving questions, conduct research, contact experts, and create their projects for sharing with the use of existing devices present; | . build positive digital footprint that aims to model appropriate use of ‘social ‘media, produce and publish valuable’ content, and create shareable resources; code as it is today’s literacy which helps boost students’ writing skills as the feeling of writing a page with HTML is amazing: innovate to expand their teaching toolbox for the sake of their students by engaging social media for discussions and announcements and ‘Rome?

A. - Using Presentations in Teaching Language Skills Language teachers can use computers to create visually and audibly appealing presentations that utilize a variety ‘of media tools. By using Presentation software’ applications, students can also develop their project outputs and reports to be able to share in the class or in the World Wide Web. Both, teachers and students can learn variety of skil : : ; ls in the process of Planning, developing, presenting, and evaluating their pres entations, In language teaching and learning, presentation software have a lot of uses. It can be used as a Presentation tool in an innovative Skill integration task, and the other as a novel writing too! In both cases, students can use language. actively ‘for speaking, listening, reading, and writing (Schcolnik & Kol, 1999).
