Previously, students listened to the teacher and read a lot of story books. For younger ones, they started with Easy Read, Ladybird Books, then they went on to read Enid Blyton and later Literature books. Nowadays, the children watch television for English lessons Young children are not into books now, they prefer to listen to songs and stories on the mobile phones as well
I think it became easy, it added the speed element, so you can get information quickly, and move fast to the second step.
Advantage : Made it possible for everyone to access variety of classes and resources. Disadvantage : All these can confuse a learner and they can't decide what is authentic and useful for them

I have a niece who was diagnosed with autism, for years she only watched television. And that's how she learned to speak normally. She used to brabble and use sounds ... for instance, when she was upset, she would hiss at us and use facial expressions. But later on, she was able to tell us exactly how she felt and what was upsetting her. So I believe technology has improved the language in a major way.

When I was at school I thought I would never become a teacher. But as you can guess «Never say never»😅 I just like it. When people think that they can’t do and tell your story they think that it is possible. So, I like it when others succeed in doing something. 🤝
