INFORMATION and COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY

(ICT)• What is ICT?• Types of ICT

• What can and can’t do in ICT• ICT in pedagogy

• Function of ICT in classroom related to CALL application

What is ICT?covers any product that will store, retrieve, manipulate, transmit or receive information electronically in a digital form.

For example, personal computers, digital television, email, robots. Riley, Jim .2012, ICT, Businnes&Technology; Tutor U.

TYPES OF ICT/CALL1. Types of ICT program :• CALL-specific software: applications designed to develop

and facilitate language learning, such as CD-ROMs, web-based interactive language learning exercises/quizzes

• Generic software: applications designed for general purposes, such as word-processors (Word),  presentation software, and spreadsheet (Excel), that can be used to support language learning

• Web-based learning programs: online dictionaries, online encyclopedias, online concordancers, news/magazine sites, e-texts, web-quests, web publishing, blog, wiki, etc.

• Computer-mediated communication (CMC) programs: synchronous - online chat; asynchronous - email, discussion forum, message board

2. Types of ICT activity

 • writing & word-

processing• concordancing  • web

quests/searching• web publishing• online

communication (synchronous and asynchronous)

• multiple-choice & true/false quizzes

• gap-filling exercise/cloze

• matching• re-ordering/

sequencing• crossword puzzles• games• simulations

What computers can and can’t do(based on Meskill, 2002, p. 122 )

Computers CAN• Judge predetermined right-

or-wrong answers, e.g., multiple choice and fill-in-the-blanks

• Provide immediate, yet fixed, feedback, suggestions, and encouragement

• Provide authentic information through multimedia - texts, images, sounds, videos, and animations

• Motivate task persistence • Record learner’s writing,

speech, and learning progress

Computers CAN’T• Judge unexpected input• Provide individualized

feedback beyond a predetermined list of messages 

• Engage learner in rich negotiation of meaning characteristic of face-to-face interaction

• Motivate depth and quality of engagement characteristic of human interaction

 Improving learning with ICTs

Motivating students/Engaging students in the learning process – Through multisensory stimulation – By providing authentic information

 Facilitating acquisition of basic skills – through drill-and-practice Educational TV shows

such as Sesame Street , Batibot , Math-Tinik Computer-assisted instruction

– Fostering inquiry and exploration Virtual tours Simulations

Developing skills that are necessary for the 21 st century workplace: – technological literacy – information literacy – communication skills – problem solving skills – the ability to handle dynamic

situations – the ability to work

collaboratively with others

How can we include ICT in Pedagogy?

ICT is a good way of teaching, learning, and reinforcing or testing the students in the classroom.

e.g. Teaching vocabulary.

ICT can be used in almost every subject;

• ICT IN NATURAL SCIENCE (Spread sheet to tabulate calculate results or To see visual effect of manipulating variable, etc)

• ICT IN MATH (Students can use applets available on internet for performing mathematical problem and also Can use modeling packaging like mathematician)

• ICT IN SOCIAL SCIENCE (Report making on Social & ethical issues via Internet , etc)

TEACHER SHOULD KNOW

• When, when not & how to use ICT in teaching their subject

• How ICT can be used for teaching the whole class

• How ICT can be used when planning• How to assess student’s work when

ICT have been used• How ICT can be used to keep up-to-

date, share best practice

ADVANTAGES OF ICT

facilitating learning for children of different learning style &ability

making learning effective involving more

senses in multimedia context

providing a broader international context for approaching problems as well as being more sensitive respnse to local needs

• student/learner-centeredness (to promote learner autonomy)

• meaningful purpose• comprehensive input• sufficient level of stimulation (cognitively

and affectively)• multiple modalities (to support various

learning styles and strategies)• high level of interaction (human-machine

and human-human)

Teaching
