Teaching
English with technology implies a great challenge and requires effort and
dedication. There’s no single teaching method but rather a wide range of active
learning strategies. Children learn globally and not always do they learn
everything we teach but they learn better when they are motivated and find
activities interesting and meaningful.
They learn quickly but they also forget quickly so permanent recycling and
repetition are extremely important. One
way to do that is through tech-exercises and activities they can do at home and
at school
There are some
nice ideas when teaching a foreign language. Teachers have to generate a nice
environment and develop an intellectual one to grow in language learning. They
have to promote a positive attitude towards language learning in general and to
form a good basis for later development of reading and writing towards
effective communication. To do this we can use technology.
Little
children are not interested in the language itself but in what they can do through
that language if we promote interesting activities like site to play and study
at the same time.
Teaching of a
foreign language should be easy, enjoyable and engaging for students. It is
enjoyable when it is dynamic and activities are varied and require action. It
is easy when the activities are short and within the scope of ability of the
pupils. Tech activities cater for a
varied level of proficiency in students. Each student can work at his pace and
difficulty.
But teaching
English with tech allows students to use the language in a purposeful way. It
is motivating and. Memorable as students get involved and participate actively
in the activities. And when they go home they will talk about what they have
done and learnt.
