Information and Communication Technologies(ICTs) and its usage in English teaching-learning. (My own reflection!)

 
New technologies can be used in the educational system in three different ways: as an object of learning, as a means to learn and to support learning.

•   In the current state of affairs is normal to consider new technologies as learning object itself. It allows students to become familiar with the computer and acquire the necessary skills to make the same a useful tool throughout the studies in the world of work or further training as adults. 

•   Considered technologies are used as a means of learning when it is a tool in the service of distance education, non-attendance and self-study or are repetition exercises, online courses throughout  Internet, videoconferencing, cederoms, programs or simulation exercises, etc. This procedure is part of the traditional teaching to supplement or enrich the content presented. 

•   But where new technologies find their true place in teaching is to support learning. The technologies have been well understood pedagogically integrated into the learning process, have their place in the classroom, responding to needs more proactive training and are employed on a daily basis. The pedagogical integration of technology differs from training in technologies and is part of a lifelong learning perspective and personal and professional development as a "knowing how to learn ''

Well, I consider ICTs as an effective and efficient educational tool because it makes possible the development of  English teaching-learning.


 At the present time the computer is very useful and Internet is more than that because without it we couldn't look for absolutely anything and also we couldn't find out new things for our acknowledgement that's the why we appreciate this tool.

We can do as many things as possible either to teach and learn English such as:
    

• Research by internet the English Grammar
• Take English Classes online( If we cannot stay at a classroom taking classes).
• Watch educational videos that can be useful for speak in English like one skill of this language.
• Listen to music or recordings that help us to understand more this language.
• Search dynamics or educational games like : "rock paper scissors" or "jeopardy".

Perhaps some of us ask ourselves : How can these dynamics or games be applied to the English teaching or learning?

Undoubtedly thanks to these tools we can learn a lot of vocabulary and so many words that we can imagine, also the use of these techniques make faster Development of speaking and listening skills in ENGLISH by fostering a suitable environment in the educational context.

That's the reason which we must apply these teaching methods and so to have a more interesting class, less bored, and more interactive of course. This give us the opportunity to involve us in the marvelous English World.
