Social Media
3. Why use social media in teaching and learning?
Through the social media one can save the time
and not need of physical present. We can
communicate with other from anywhere. To
communicate international platform and also for
Education field of English one can teach and learn
from the social media.
4. In present time You tube is a
most famous media for
teaching. Through it teacher
can do many things like
teaching any topic, related
videos they can show also
picture .Most important thing is
that students can watch it any
time to learn the language.
5. Blog is also a medium of teaching.
Teacher can provide Matirial through it.
Picture, video and many other things student
can get from the blog. One can assess it
anywhere to learn so it is very helpful.
When teaching is done and the work will
start from student so teacher can know the
grasping knowledge of students through the
blog they can give the work and student can
submit their work as blog.
6. Face book,most famous social
media. We can find many teaching
groups .There are many live
programme they teaching English
and grammar. This channel will be
helpful those who are not
connected with any academy and
also for those who are connected.
7. Whatsapp is easy to use for everyone.
Through this social media we can learn the
English language. We can discuss the things in
group. Teacher can provide the material and
PDF through the whatsapp.
There is also some limitations that in the
whatsapp group discussion, every student of
class can not participate because of the
limitation of person
8. Radio is a old tools for knowing
information. Before the TV, computer
and mobile it was only source of learning
and teaching. If there is not any particular
programme for teaching English then
throw the news in English can be a
medium of that.
But the disadvantage of the radio is, it
can not give you visual things,there is
only audio.
9. Television programmes to present
naturalistic uses of language and to
project the personality of the teacher in a
full social setting and with full use of
gesture and facial expression.
Research say that audio and video
both can give a strong impact in teaching
and learning process. Through television
we can get both so the visual can be
easy to remember things. That way
television is very important for teaching
language and English.
10. The diagram shows the full panoply
of stimuli which may reach the
learner, from open circuit
broadcasting through recordings of
one kind or another, books and kits,
to the range of human contacts he
may make. Indeed, the resources
made available to a learner in a
learning system of this kind may be
classed in the first instance as
human and material.

teach and learn. There are some disadvantages too but it is upon
us that what to chose. Entertainment things can help us to get
