Technology has the important role in education. Because technology has the power to breakdown geographical, economical, language, and time-zone barriers. Long before the technology improved, students get a lot of obstacle in their learning process because of the geographical or economical problem. For example, a students from Indonesia has the academic qualification to join a small course in Cambridge University, but they could not get it because they didn’t have enough money to go. As the technology improved, the student now can join any courses around the world using internet.

The new technologies provide ways to overcome the traditional barriers to global education and language learning. Nowadays, new technologies provide ways to improve students’ language skills through student-to-student conversations that can be accessed anywhere.  The introduction of Peer-to-Peer video conferencing using devices students are familiar with can increase personal interaction.
