62 choose texts and tasks to achieve the objectives of the program. Communicative ability of students is developed through the Internet namely, through their involvement in a wide range of meaningful, realistic, having the sense and achievable objectives, the successful completion of which gives satisfaction and enhances their self-confidence” [1, p. 28-29] Nowadays technology has a great influence and effect on many things – the way we live, work and this also in- cludes English language learning and teaching. Due to constantly developing technological resources blended teaching or learning (a formal education method partly delivering the content via digital and online media) is no longer only for classrooms. The interconnection of online learning and face-to-face control gives the students more opportunities and greater chance for success. Today traditional computers are nearly in every lab, teachers and students use laptops or tablet PCs, and lots of people have smart phones in their pockets that is capable for starting computer-assisted language learning. And for this case, more and more English language apps and educational games appear every month. Students can easily practice their conversational, writing, reading, listening skills. The Internet facilities help us to find and use dedicated websites. A huge demand for learning English is likely to facilitate the growth of the software market for this purpose. The latest technology in English language learning and teaching include online courses and different applica- tions that can give learning opportunities to a wide audience. There are a lot of various dictionaries on the resources of the Internet and on apps that you can download. Teachers can direct their students to Longman’s flagship Learner’s Dictionary, which is now available as an I Phone and other Smartphone apps. It is considered to be the most up-to-date dictionary and an integrated thesaurus is included here. E-reading has become very popular lately and e-readers may like the Kindle, which is an excellent feature for English learners. If you enjoy reading and would like to improve your writing and reading skills you can use this link https://www.english.com/blog/9-great-novels-help-improve-english. It will be an effective way to enlarge the vocabulary just using such functions as click-to-define, vocabulary builders, etc. The tools such as dictionaries and thesauruses are of great help for writers to expand their vocabulary, but spelling- and grammar-checkers are also helpful in case to find and correct the mistakes. Moving further online forums are widely used channels for learners to communicate and learn from each other us- ing the written words. This is also an option for those people who don’t have the possibility to converse with a native speaker face-to- face. However, today we can easily use Skype, Face Time. Skype is well-adapted for audio quality and you just screen-share your desktop for showing PowerPoint presentations or simply make videoconferencing. PREPLY gives the possibility to choose native speaker as a teacher. Of course, Skype is not for large-scale teaching, so you can join a community of teachers on The Edupunk Channel which includes non-traditional ways to improve English fluency; fun games, activities and videos to improve spoken English; workshops for creating games and how to use WizIQ that is easy- to-use, affordable virtual classroom with facilities to create online courses and language learning software. Using Coffee Strap and Hello Talk you can talk to native speakers just from your phone without any web cam. Podcasts are becoming very popular with English learners too. This media gives the possibility to listen to native speech anytime, anywhere, and English language podcasts are a great chance to improve your listening skills. Some popular podcasts as Listen to English by Peter Carter, Elementary Podcasts by the British Council and Luke’s English Podcast can be tried for this purpose. One more area that technology offers very efficiently is a project work. Teachers have always tried to encourage learn- ers/students to get to know more about different things, events phenomena directly through language. Involving learners to do the work about themes or topics that are interesting to them, or topics that are taught as compulsory element of the cur- riculum (called Content and Language Integrated Learning) is a great help in improving their skills. And in this case, tech- nology opens up new levels of creativity and opportunity both for you as a teacher and for learners. There are many differ- ent online resources that give you possibilities to make some kind of researches in this or that area of interest. In today’s Internet world, there are plenty of examples and samples of case studies of teachers activating this kind of work. Download 1.75 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
