This document discusses how emojis, emoticons, and text speak can be used to teach students. It provides background on the origins of emoticons in 1982 as ways to convey tone and feelings in text communications. It then suggests that with text speak and emojis, students can translate, decode, summarize, play with language, and add emotion to language. A number of websites and apps that can be used for emoji-related activities, lessons, and discussions are also listed.

2. “Although an emoticon may
look like a smile, a frown or
any number of facial
expressions, it doesn’t
represent a face, as many
internet users assume. It’s
actually intended to convey
a feeling (“I’m happy,” or
“just joking”).”
