USE OF TECHNOLOGY

USE OF THECHNOLOGY IN ELT

I think is very important to know how we can use technology in teaching and learning foreign language. There are many tools to improve classmate’s skills but it is necessary to use it in a correct way.

Here, I am going to show two activities we can apply to our classmates.

1-  Music

In this activity teacher plays a song and students have to listening it without watching lyrics, it will help them to improve listening skill and to get more vocabulary. While they are listening the song they have to write words they do not know yet, after that they have to search the meaning of them and do some exercises. But it is important to pay attention very well because of the pronunciation and the context they are.

2-  Tests

As a teacher I could use the application called “Duolingo”

It is a very useful app to learn and practice English, in this there are many activities and tests students can do, for example, it has exercises in which you can learn about grammar, other activity is listening recording and repeating it, I think it is a great idea because they improve so much their pronunciation and listening skills. Also it has clubs where you can interact with people around the world by chatting.

In conclusion, technology is a good way to teach and learn any language but we must be carefully because there are apps or web sites not reliables.
