Technology as a method of english teaching
Teaching with technology can deepen student learning by supporting instructional objectives. However, it can be challenging to select the “best” tech tools while not losing sight of your goals for student learning. Once identified, integrating those tools can itself be a challenge albeit an eye-opening experience.
Technology is very
much part of language learning throughout the world at all different levels. We
are as likely to find it in the primary sector as much as in adult education.
I no longer need to
make the case for computers to be provided in education, because computers are
there in abundance in all their modern forms.We may see traditional computers
in labs, teachers and students walking around with laptops or tablet PCs, and many
people will have a mobile phone in their pocket that is capable of doing rather
more than the mainframe computers that started computer-assisted language
learning in the 1960s. I do recognise that there are many kinds of digital
divide, and that this is not true everywhere.
How can technology help you?Online collaboration tools, such as those in Google Apps, allows students and instructors to share documents online, edit them in real time and project them on a screen. This gives students a collaborative platform in which to brainstorm ideas and document their work using text and images.Presentation software (such as PowerPoint) enable instructors to embed high-resolution photographs, diagrams, videos and sound files to augment text and verbal lecture content.Tablets can be linked to computers, projectors and the cloud so that students and instructors can communicate through text, drawings and diagrams.
Hello! I agree with you, we must have specific goals using the technolgy in ELT.

The team is just me.
ResponderEliminarHi Guadalupe!
ResponderEliminarYour job is very good and I agree with what you think. But your text has more than 200 words, doesn't have the source of information and the conclusion is missing. Your score is 8
