21st Century and Language Education

Hello to all again! 

Hope you're doing fine and well. Today we are going to be talking about the century in which we live (yes I'm talking about the 21st century in case it's forgotten) and the essential skills which are required.

I think I should take it from back so that we can create an imaginary timeline in our minds. In the 20th century, the language education strained to the limited sources resulting in unaccomplished progress. But, in our day with the help of technological improvement, we are able to access so many different sources and upgrading the language process adapted to those changes. Hence, in this century some skills are being almost obligatory in terms of an achieved education system.

Let's talk about them, shall we? 

So this is the framework of the skills of 21st-century learning. 

These skills are needed to reach the students to achievement not only in their career but also in their personal life making them know themselves more and more.

Consequently, teachers must be familiar with the skills to be able to integrate them into their teaching program. They should be accustomed to the concept of 'learning-centered classes' rather than sticking to the ancient 'teacher-centered classes' showing their (not students') skills to the students whereas learners are struggling to focus. 

This is a word-cloud which I've created with the words of 21st century skills and the evolved language education. 

As the future teachers, being candidates of teachers who will touch the lives of children and all, 

we should be aware of these skills and upgrade ourselves day by day. 

Thank you and take care!
