Learning English experience nowadays

Nowadays in education, learning English have become indispensable to introduce students to the labor camp at global level. Since very early in school, the hours of the English subject have increased as a way to improve the education attending the demands of globalization culture. Before, only private schools teach the subject, but now, to the public education become contingent. The methods of learning English have changed if we take a look to the past at the present. Yesterday, we listen to the teacher, read the blackboard, speak in conversations with partners, study with books and radio mainly. We still use that, but also in the advanced levels, we took the technology and it became the principal thing at the hour of learning. Technology has revolutionized the way we learn English at school.
The experience learning English at the university is totally different to how we learned English at school when we were young. Here we are soon to work and we to need know how to explain our opinions, ideas, thesis, arguments, and how to write them. In the school, the education of English is so basic that we finished it without can do all this stuff. We have a base, for example, knowing verbs, grammatical, vocabulary, etc. but if we really want to use English in our work, we have to keep studying it.
So this is the case of the university, the place that picked up this old methods to learn, and transform it in technological, so using computers, we read texts and see videos from the Internet, improve our writing on virtual galleries where others can read me and vice versa, and all the universe of information of whatever kind this is, we broke the boundaries of the classroom context of school to open our mind to understand and think about all world in English, leaving behind the instrumental English that we receive in school.
Technology has made that my experience learning English at the university went almost by my own, also of the class and the teacher lessons. For example, the blogging method leave me work that I can do in my home, to write or read my classmate’s posts. This made the learning becomes more collective, because you are in constant tie with you classmate improving, show them what you think about it.
In conclusion, the learning of this language in the university is completely different from the learning of the same at school. In my opinion is better, because the student can improve more quickly and systematically the writing, the reading and the listening, apart from the speaking. The technology has replaced the book somehow, but not at all. Also, it can’t replace the teacher, because the student needs someone to guide the learning. It only revolutionized the method of teach, and give tools to the student to learn by its own infinitely.
