This week I
read the articles called "Using Internet-Based Children's Literature to
Teach EFL" by Larry J. Mikulecky and "Using the Internet in ESL
Writing Instruction" by Jarek Krajka. They explain the importance of
writing and reading.
Something I
really learn from this article is that talks about the benefits of using
internet to teach writing. One of the benefits mentioned here and that I think
every teacher should know is that thanks to internet students can be exposed to
real usage of the language. By using internet they can communicate by writing
e-mails to other people, including people from other countries in which their
target language is the native tongue.
The second
article talks about that internet can provide a big amount of material that we
as teachers can use with our students to practice their skills. The article
mentioned that there are some websites that allow students to get literature in
English to practice their reading skill, and at the same time it allows them to
overcome some barriers that were common in the past, like problems of access,
and expense.
As a
conclusion, it is our responsibility take advantage of these resources because
with internet we have a lot of sources to enhance writing and reading skills
