“A good teacher is like a candle – it consumes itself to light the way for others.”

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.

The main goal of teaching a foreign language is to encourage children to use the target language in their life. It means developing their communicative skills, competency and culture. Therefore at the lessons of foreign languages the teachers should use some strategies which encourage students to be active participants of the lessons, to develop their communicative skills, to form their interest and motivation to study the language. Teaching English as a foreign language also means developing the student`s language abilities. Nowadays, to prepare Modern English Teachers in Primary schools, it`s one of the main aims among Teachers` Training colleges. We all know that teaching students to foreign languages is very difficult. And we must give them very huge information about foreign languages, to speak more in English, to use more videos etc. Students will be active participants with the computer, using technology as a “cognitive tool” and I want to give some projects for example.

Overdub: To use the example of a multimedia Web page with audio and text
described above, a presentational material would play an audio file automatically. An interactive material would allow users to click on parts of the text transcript to hear sections of the audio. Users would have control over what sections to play and in what order. Students can watch a video clip, then record their own narration or dialogue to fit the clip. Each student’s recording can be shared with the instructor
and/or with other students. The teacher can give students feedback on their recording.
Storyteller: : Students upload pictures to their space on the server, arrange them in order, and record themselves narrating a story or description based on the pictures. Instructors can give feedback on the stories. These two projects underscore the constructivist principle that learners actively develop their own knowledge and understanding, and the principle of dynamic applications that are flexible and can be modified with ease. In order to complete their tasks, learners must organize, plan, practice, and self-evaluate their language production. The video clips and pictures provide a context for their planning.Students are producers, not consumers, of the end product. Since the students have full control over their product, and the program is dynamic, they can make adjustments to their production based on feedback from instructors.
