Based on the article CALL Me… Maybe: A Framework for Integrating
the Internet into ELT
Internet can be Integrated into ELT classes
What surprised me in the article was the
beginning because it made me realize how meaningful it will be for students if
they could practice by playing different roles in the most famous web pages on
the internet. Could you imagine a student
preparing an advertisement to sell a new pair of shoes on amazon and he has to
present to the class or a student presenting his or her critics about the latest
movie as rotten tomatoes. These activities could be used for any age, level of
proficient or topic and they present a great opportunity for students to
manipulate the language. Moreover, as the article mention the use of technology
during a ELT can increase learners’ motivation, engage learners, promote autonomy
and aid retention. My favorite quote
from the article was “limited access generally implies limits to hardware,
software and internet, but also it referred to the lack of desire, ability and opportunity
to use technology in the classroom”However, I said that this article showed how
to incorporate ICT during ETL even if the access is limited or not, and
presented some reasons why teachers should consider integrate internet into ELT.
Besides, the author has divide into two the role of the internet in a ELT class
internet as tutor and internet as a tool. This framework presented by the
article made me want to read more about and explore the different web pages. I
will really recommend this article is my favorite till the moment!
I agree with you Lineth, there are many great websites, apps, and tools on the Internet that we can use to make students be involved with the Language. Also, I liked the same quote because it is not just the responsability of teachers, but students need to show interest and responsabilty with the activities. But un fortuna teléfono, there are several issuese that classroom face like the lack of internet acceso or low resources Good job!
