Innovation in Language Learning

A basic explanation of base and superstructure in Marxism is that mind will change when material develops. Since many new technologies of E-learning, including online studying tools and distance teaching technology, have been developed, the minds of learners must have changed. Students used to study with peers, hold a book, learn from teachers in a real classroom. Nowadays, they study alone at home, face to a screen, type words with fingers, chat with classmates who are not in presence, look at my digitalized face and listen to my computerized voice. Students must have experienced some psychological transformations due to such new interaction and communication technologies of education. Many issues regarding Cyber-psychology and the relationship between psychology and E-Learning have been discussed, therefore, my paper aims to illustrate, according to my seven years distance teaching experience, that how my students react and behave in a virtual classroom, an adobe connect room in my case, and what psychological states have possibly transformed due to such a cyber-spatial studying environment.
