Advances in technology have contributed to many profound changes in our lifestyles but none is more exciting as the way it has transformed our ability to interact and connect with one another.
As we all know, Skype is the most popular video / audio telephony software that enables one to make a video call from a computer and / or smartphone device. Skype is fully integrated in that it includes a chat function, file-sharing, screen sharing, with group video calling capabilities. Its versatility has made it the most preferred telephony software for personal and business communication uses.
Recently, more innovative functions such as foreign language training and business conference meetings are being utilized by avid Skype users. As an ESL trainer and language teacher, I've discovered Skype to be an indispensable way of conducting remote classes from the comfort of my private space to any part of the world that is connected by the internet.
And for students and foreign language enthusiasts, SKYPERS can now indulge in video conversations with one another to further hone their speaking skills. This type of technologically assisted learning / training is fast becoming popular as it enables easy interaction and social networking in real-time without leaving the private confines of one's comfort zone.
Skypers are Skype buddies or groups of friends who share a common passion for using Skype technology to achieve a particular goal. Never has this been more relevant for the training of ESL (English as Second Language) learners.
