Educators realize these mobile technologies “…can provide pedagogically useful functions in education, especially foreign language instruction” and as this technology continues to develop,“it affords second or foreign language learners and teachers ever greater opportunity to practice the target language”(Jee, 2010, p. 162) .  \nOral practice in the target language is not only more widely available through the use of technology; it may also be more authentic. Students are able to focus on English conversation skills and content with native speakers of the target language, regardless of their location, rather than repeatedly engaging in oral language drills and writing exercises. This interaction with native speakers via technology is particularly beneficial for students who do not have other language learners with which to practice or who are actively developing reading comprehension skills but are afraid to speak in the target language due to fear of not being understood. Shyness or embarrassment when practicing oral language skills is not uncommon, particularly among adolescent learners. An additional benefit of technology for foreign language learners is that the computer provides pronunciations and definitions over and over without becoming frustrated or making negative judgments about the learner’s skill (Young, Wang, & Jang, 2010) .  \nAlong with oral language development, reading and writing skills are also enhanced through the use of technology. Interaction with native speakers where language learners successfully engage in authentic exchanges not only builds literacy competence but also increases confidence and motivation to continue making attempts to communicate (Wu, Yen, & Marek, 2011) . Web 2.0 tools, as described in this paper, allow language learners to repeatedly engage with multiple native speakers in different contexts where they must make themselves understood in order to take part in collaborative projects and discussions.  \nThe constructivist framework developed by Piaget (1886-1980) shows the value of collaborative learning that encourages learners to use their prior knowledge and experiences to construct new knowledge (Piaget & Inhelder, 2000) . Technology and Web 2.0 tools are supportive of knowledge construction, immersion in a foreign language, and interactivity across sites. Through technology experiences, language learners are able to interact with others, confront virtual reality collaboratively, expand their knowledge, and establish personal communications (Shih & Yang, 2008) . This concept of working with, and gaining knowledge from, a community of learners is also found in Vygotsky’s (1986) sociolinguistic theory where cognitive development is enhanced through social interactions. The learning of language is both social and inter-  \nactive in that oral language is learned through social interactions and reading and writing are learned through exposure and guidance from others literate in the target language. Shih and Yang,(2008) suggest the “most effective way to learn a language is to participate in a community in which the target language is used to communicate in a real context”(p. 56) . Technology makes collaborations between communities of native speakers and language learners available inan authentic social context.  \nAmong these technologies, Mobile Assisted Language Learning or MALL technologies and educational technology in general, capable of accessing the World Wide Web, have opened up new avenues of learning for foreign language students. In fact, Newstead (2007) states,  \nMuch of recent resear","cbCaicwcO2XFOgoq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicwcO2XFOgoq","pdf",670688,13,"English","# Introduction\n# What is Web 2.0?","[{\"question\":\"How does technology support oral practice for second-language learners?\",\"answer\":\"Technology enables learners to practice conversation skills with native speakers regardless of location, supporting more authentic interaction than repetitive drills and helping reduce fear of being misunderstood.\"},{\"question\":\"What benefits does Web 2.0 offer for reading and writing?\",\"answer\":\"Web 2.0 interactions with native speakers can build literacy competence while increasing confidence and motivation, especially when learners engage in authentic exchanges and collaborative discussions.\"},{\"question\":\"How do constructivist and sociolinguistic theories relate to using Web 2.0 tools?\",\"answer\":\"Constructivist and sociolinguistic ideas emphasize collaborative learning and social interactions.
