With the advent of technology, more time is spent communicating in real time (Twitter, Facebook, texting etc) but the frequency and the quality of grammar has rapidly deteriorated. But is technology really to be blamed for this? In fact, some of the ways English is used on such social networking sites as well as emails and text messages makes it very difficult to read and comprehend overall meaning of sentences even though it appears legible thereby making technology a prime suspect, but is it really?

Business emails need a thorough grammar check not only because it reflects on the person who sends emails but also because when communication is not thorough it can lead to wasted time and money thereby ultimately impacting the bottom-line of companies.

Technology can help in making sure one can learn proper grammar quickly and easily as well as instead of it being blamed for spoiling grammar. This includes the way grammar as a whole is taught. Example: language training can be rapidly delivered just by a simple webinar or even interactive websites making it fun for the learners. When proper grammar is learnt, it becomes easy to construct correct and meaningful sentences thereby ensuring efficient communication. Other benefits especially for corporate environment include a boost in overall productivity and improved employee morale.

Some of the creative ways in which grammar can be improved are:

• Developing a habit to use any grammar checker software that can detect mistakes that are otherwise often not rectified.

• Using multimedia sessions for learning foreign languages (this is very helpful for those who are non-English speakers but yet they need to learn it for daily use).

• Taking interactive quizzes based on the learner’s overall performance.

• Using an audio software program that can read out aloud words and sentences thereby making the overall learning very effective and practical.

The biggest beneficiaries of such software technology or the framework to make learning a language effective are educational institutions. Benefits that arise can include less strain on teachers, improved attendance as lectures and teaching will not be boring at all, immediate feedback for all the students and an overall improved learning curve especially for students who do not use English as a first language.

Other important feature is that software applications that can spell and grammar check automatically are indispensable tools no matter how well-versed one is with English. Primary reason for this is because many words in English have a specific individual meaning but based on the context and overall sentence meaning, they can be very different. So spell checking / grammar checker tools can save time as well as help one in avoiding embarrassing errors whenever written communication is involved.

To sum it up, ready to use software applications that are very easy to use can help anyone learn English and achieve a high degree of proficiency. So technology when used effectively to enhance language and grammar learning becomes an incredibly powerful and low cost tool.
