In spite of many potential benefits of whole language approaches in EFL classrooms, many Korean EFL classrooms still approach language as discrete parts and isolated pieces, with a great emphasis on the form of language rather than meaning. This paper explores how technology can support the principles of whole language by describing three technology-incorporated EFL activities; an online discussion board activity, a sound dubbing activity, and a PowerPoint Producer activity. Each activity provides the evidence of the way in which technology realized whole language classrooms and facilitated the students learning. These activities approached language as a whole, not in parts, and offered authentic language learning contexts and opportunities for learner-centered, content-based and collaborative learning through the use of different modalities. This paper will provide valuable insights to EFL teachers on how technology can be effectively embedded in EFL classrooms.
Abstract
In spite of many potential benefits of whole language approaches in EFL classrooms, many Korean EFL classrooms still approach language as discrete parts and isolated pieces, with a great emphasis on the form of language rather than meaning.

Each activity provides the evidence of the way in which technology realized whole language classrooms and facilitated the students learning. These activities approached language as a whole, not in parts, and offered authentic language learning contexts and opportunities for learner-centered, content-based and collaborative learning through the use of different modalities. This paper will provide valuable insights to EFL teachers on how technology can be effectively embedded in EFL classrooms.
