Thinking that learning language as a foreing langauge has lots of limits comparing to as a second language situation....
They don't have enough chance to practice target languages out of the classroom,and it's not easy to get authentic resouces...
However, I thought internet technology is the best solution to narrow the gaps.
Many of Korean language learners in CRL at U of A, where I teach Korean, are watching Korean soap operas and TV shows though internet. It helps them a lot to catch up with Korean cultures and langauge, and also motivates them to want to keep studying Korean and improve Korean skills.
It is not a new solution, and maybe it is even too typical answer. However, suddenly it came up in my mind thinking of the limits of learning languages as a foreign language..
