The Internet, apps and social media as a new tool for learning a foreign language (essay part 2) Networking knowledge and its effect on new students The pedagogue Paulo Freire says that “Nobody knows everything, and nobody ignores everything, that is the reason everyone learns from others”. Therefore, team working allows a cooperative environment. As a consequence, new students involved in networking improve their communicative competence. Also, they learn to reason in a critical manner. As a result of the advantages mentioned above, networking knowledge improves the development of social skills, and if people apply these tools when they are learning a foreign language, the result will be amazing (Jubany, 2013). Conclusion Overall the traditional methods in learning process -specially in the acquisition of a new language- are progressively being replaced for the use of new technologies. We can see the relevance of the Internet and social media as an important part of the new process of learning a foreign language. The main recommendation is that through the use of the Internet and social networking, new generations can have access to create better opportunities regarding to linguistic skills, and as a consequence get a good performance in their environment.
