The WWW stands for Warmer, Web and What next, a three-stage approach for integrating technology in language teaching. The Warmer phase engages students and activates prior knowledge through brief introductory activities. The Web stage involves the main technology-focused task where students interact with digital tools and online resources for language learning. The What Next phase consolidates learning through follow-up activities that connect the digital experience to real-world language use. This structured methodology ensures technology integration is purposeful and pedagogically effective rather than using technology for its own sake.
WARMER: T asks the student to open the student's book on page 32. T reads the title “PLURILINGUAL” and asks the students what the meaning of that word is and what they think the unit is going to be about. T elicits the ideas and writes them down on the board.
WEB: Since the unit is about languages, the teacher asks the class if they know how to say hello in different languages. After eliciting the answers, the teacher points at the words in ex 1a and asks the class if they know the language of each word is from.(If they do not know, they can read the languages in ex 1b to make their guesses) Then, students will check their answers with the recording.
On the board, the teacher draws a chart with 3 columns: Country, Nationality, Language. Students complete it with the information discussed earlier.
Then, Teacher will show students a wordwall game , on his/her computer o any other divice, to check understanding.
Later, the teacher will assign a video to each student. Using their mobile phones, students must watch the video and complete the activity related to it. Once they finish, they must submit the answer to the teacher. The teacher will have a record of all the answer as part of the assessment.
WHAT NEXT: The teacher asks students to look at the photos and the words on top on page 33. The teacher asks them the following questions: What can you see in the pictures? What do the words mean? Is there any relationship between them? After eliciting answers, the teacher asks students to read the text on the same page, ignoring the blanks, and to keep two questions in mind: Were your ideas correct? and Is the writer worried about the recent changes in the English language? The teacher encounrages them to be ready to discuss the answer the following class.
WARMER: The teacher asks students to guess the Country, Nationality and Language while showing flashcards with flags on them.
WEB: During this part of the class, sts will work with their mobile phones. After reading the text "English, the language that never sleeps" ,assigned as homework, students have to write a short answer to the following question: “According to the text, why is the English language changing?” on a Padlet (The teacher provides the link). After sharing the answers with the class, the teacher writes on the board SNACCACIDENT and FOMO. The teacher explains the differences between acronyms and blended words. Then, the teacher elicits more examples from the text and asks them to include the words in the corresponding column in the Padlet. Finally, the teacher shows students two videos (Tiktok video video1 and Youtube video2) so they can take down notes on words mentioned and add them to the columns of the Padlet.
WHAT NEXT: In pairs or group of three, students have to write a short anecdote in their binders using blended words and acronyms from the padlet. Then, while one member of each group reads the text, the rest of the class takes notes of the new words used. After reading, stds share what they have written.
