Language Skills

Modern Communication technologies have integrated themselves into everyday life because of the way people communicate has changed drastically in the recent years. Instead of calling people to talk with our voices, modern communication has changed the way we talk by typing our messages into these new technologies. These new technologies are not helping our language skills according to Jury, P (2010) who says that “In the end, the best way to think of text messaging is not as a degradation of English, and certainly not as an improvement of it, but rather as a separate language entirely” which he calls “textese” which shows that these new forms of technology are teaching children a new language and some children are not capable to switch between formal English and “textese”.
