Something I
learned from this article and that every teacher should know was that in this
days technology has changed in different ways. In the past, learning had
multiple processes like discovery, expression and development. Nowadays,
technology (like computes) are useful for language teaching because teachers are only
facilitators and students have to adapt prior knowledge of what they have
learned.
Also, it
was an excellent idea creates CALL software because it provides in different
variety of media and realistic methods for students practice a skill area, and it
does not have any cost, and videos has to be interactive because students are
attracted by the sight of interactive videos. Moreover, the World Wide Web has
an impact on education because it can be used in a variety of ways for example
linguistic exercise like research said; besides, students can communicate via
e-mail and that´s perfect because they can create groups that can share
educative information; also, students can communicate via e-mail with their
teachers to ask or clarify some ideas.
Students can find new information on internet
everyday instead of go to the library and find some books, and students select
the materials; besides, games are useful in their ability to processes the
natural language, and I agree with that because students can fun when they learn and that is a good idea.
I think the same as you that CALL was a good idea because it helps students to practice more at home with the interactive videos that you mentioned. Moreover, it is true when you wrote that having a little fun could help to learn better a second language and with those activities at the computer the objective could be reached, instead of using the old techniques.
ReplyDeleteHello Monica! I am in agreement with you when you state that computers' stuff is a tool that could be used by both, students and teachers. We have to be clever and find the way to adapt these new tools to work and learn better and faster than previous times.
ReplyDeleteBut I would like to add: the major challenge that people have is to overcome the bad use of technology and make sure to do an appropriate use of the programs to keep the learning process meaningful and competent. I think we will be witnesses of a great development of technology process.
Well actually I agree with you Monica because definitely CALL it is such a great option for teachers to encourage students to learn in different ways. So as we all have read by using thecnology as the computers it is something totally useful for students to learn the target language for example by watching at interactive videos or listening to music or listening exercises tht may help students in order to improve the listening skill and at the same time the other basic skills as speaking,reading and writing.
