Collaboration, project learning helps students deepen their knowledge and develop more problem-solving skills, teamwork, an organization of work … Moreover, it also facilitates the best demand-based learning for the student.
We can also use information technology for learning English when there is no environment to practice. There are English programs that are applied using information technology in a methodical way to help students practice English every day, and get immediate results.
2/ The use of the Internet
Through the Internet, you can contact English language learners and programs around the world. Furthermore, looking up a word, an idiom or a phrase is so much easier now with the existence of the Internet. With just a few clicks you can get access to a huge variety of English lessons.
For example Thanks to the Internet, teachers can help Japanese students learn English and American students learn Japanese by connecting directly to each other via the Internet. Through such communication, it is possible to enhance the use of English effectively.
II. Interactive Classroom – The embody of technology in English teaching:
One of the most effective applications of technology into teaching and learning foreign languages is the interactive class system – Interactive Classroom. This includes interactive tables, interactive lesson design software, built-in teaching tools, teaching efficiency assessment tools and multimedia libraries … These are integral parts of an Interactive Classroom. Now, to really creating a natural environment for teaching and learning foreign languages, learners need to feel like they are communicating with native speakers. With the support of this software and equipment, teachers have enhanced professional quality, shortened lesson design time, promoted teaching effectiveness, built many interactive activities in class. , better support and control of their students, optimize each student’s ability. At the same time, help students to be confident, proactive, bold and actively participate in the teaching activities of teachers. This is really a modern education method “Taking learners as a center, meeting the needs of learning and optimizing individual learners”.
III. The implementation of technology in Vietnam:
Currently, in Vietnam, the implementation of technology into English learning is still has a lot of limitations. The main reason for this is that the class size in Vietnam is very large, the number of students is high. This will make some of the technology mentioned above become much less effective. Moreover, with a larger classroom, it will be harder for the teacher to manage whether the students are using technology for studying or just simply use social media or playing games.
In conclusion, no matter how advanced technology can be, teachers still play the most important role. With classrooms with a large number of students, the teaching method must be changed so that students can progress together.
