The use of computer technology in efl classroom pros and cons (1) (1)ouissaless
* Teaching English as a foreign language field has encountered a great development in the past couple of years. Having the ability and tools to integrate computer technology devices inside the classroom had affected and deeply influenced learners' SLA. Learners could benefit from the technological tools to facilitate their second language acquisition through video games, videos, online learning platforms and websites that are dedicated to providing learners with a joyful and fruitful experience of second language acquisition.
I'm always looking for ways to improve teaching and enhance learning, especially through technology. Recently, I used chat and polling in the classroom. That experiment resulted in a conference paper, presented at the international conference ICT for Language Learning, Nov 2011, Florence, Italy. These slides are from the conference.
This study aims at investigating the effect of computer- assisted language learning program on EFL Saudi students learning of English. The computerized program used was prepared by the researcher. The sample of the study consisted of 41 students randomly selected from Al-Riyadh
Teachers' College and assigned to experimental and control groups. An achievement test was used to collect data from the students who participated in this research. The findings of the study indicated that using computer-assisted English language learning (CALL) has a positive effect on the experimental group students' achievement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. The development of technology has emerged many
computer applications to help learning process,
which is known as CAL
the purpose of CAL is to make a good use of
computer as a medium for the sake of facilitating
people in learning process.
Compare to books and any other common
equipment; whiteboard and chalk, computer is more
“interactive” and more flexible.
Computer would never tire it self to give a repetitive
explanation to students.
3.
4. The development of information technology as well
as computer technology has stimulated people who
work in the field of education.
Their interest to use computer as means of
developing teaching and learning has progressively
developed the process known as CAI/CBI or CAL.
7. a. Advantages
Many educators indicate that current computer technology has many advantages
for second language learning . The Following are the davantage as stated by many
experts.
Interest and motivation
Classical language teaching in classroom can be monotonous, boring, and even
frustrating, and students can loose interest and motivation in Learning . CALL
Programm also provide student ways to learn English through computer games,
animated graphics, and problem-solving techniques which can make drills more
interesting (Ravichandran 2000)
Individualization
Call allows learners to have non-sequentian learning habit; they can decide on their
own which skills to develop and whcih course to use, as well as the speed and level
by their own needs
A Compatible learning style
Students have different style learning, and an incompatible style for students will
cause serious conflicts to them. Computer can provide an exciting “fast” drill for
one student and “slow” for another.
8. Optimal use of learning time
The time flexibility of using computer enables students to choose appropritae
timing for learning. Winter (19970 in Kilickaya (2007) stressed the importance
of flexible learning, learning anywhere, anytime, anyhow, and anything you
want, which is very true for the web-based instruction and CALL. Learner are
given a chance to study and review the materials as many times they want
without limited time.
Immediate feedback
Students receive maxium benefit from feedback only if it is given immediatly. A
delayed positive feedback affect the crucial knowledge a students must master.
Computer can give instant feedback and help the stduents ward off his
miconception at the very firts stage. Brown (1997) in Kilickaya (2007) listed the
advantage of CALL as giving immediate feedback, allowing students at their
own pace, and causing less frustration among students.
9. Error analysis
Computer databse can be used by the tecaher (user) to classify and
differentiate the type of general error and error on account of the influence
can react in different way from the ususal teacher, which make students able
to make slef-correction and understand the principle behind the correct
solution (Ravichandran, 2007).
Guided and repetitive
Students have freedom of expression within certain bounds that programmers
create, such as grammar, vocabulary, etc. They can repeat the course they
want to master as many as they wish. According to Ikeda (1999) in Kilickaya
(2007) drill-type CALL materials are suitable for repetitive, which enable
students to learn concept and key elements in a subject area.
10. Pre-determined to process syllabus
Computer enchance the learning process from a pre-
determined syllabus to an emerging or process syllabus.
For example, a monotonous paper exciting on the
screen in the self-access mode, and students can select
their own material. Therefore, CALL facilitates the
synthesis of the per-planned syllabus and learner
syllabus “through a decision-making process undertaken
by teacher and learners together‟ (Breen 1986 in
Ravichandran 2000)
12. Many methods have been changed from time
to time in developing English language
learning,likes:
1) Grammar-translation approach
2) Direct approach
3) Audiolingual method
5) Community language learning
6) Suggestopedia
7) The silent way
8) Total physical response
16. Although there are many advantages of computer, the application of
current computer technology still has its limitations and disadvantages.
• Less-handy equipment.
According to Ansel et al (1992) in Hartoyo (2006, 31), the CAL program is
different from traditional books that can be carried around and studied
wherever and whenever they wish: on a train, at home, in the middle of
the night, and so on. School computers or language laboratory can only
be accessed in restricted hours, so CALL program only benefits people
who have computers at home or personal notebook.
• Increased educational costs.
Gips, DiMattia, and Gips (2004) in Lai (2006) indicated that CALL will
increase educational cost, since computers become a basic requirement
for students to purchase, and low-budget school and low income students
cannot afford a computer
17. Lack of trained teachers.
It is necessary for teachers and students to have basic technology knowledge
before applying computer technology in second language teaching and learning.
Therefore, computers will only benefit those who are familiar with computer
technology (Roblyer 2003 in Lai 2006).
. Imperfect current CALL programs
At present, the software of CALL mainly deals with reading, listening, and
writing skills. There are some speaking programs have been developed recently,
but their functions are still limited. Warschauer (2004) in Lai (2006) stated that
a program should ideally be able to understand a user‟s spoken input and
evaluate it not just for correctness but also for „appropriatness‟. Speaking
program should be able to diagnose a learner‟s problem with pronunciation,
syntax, or usage and then intelligently decide among a range of options.
18. CALL has certain advantages and disadvantages and teachers should
know the strengths and weaknesses in applying CALL in ESL classrooms. It
is agreeable that technological advancement and development has
enabled the application of CALL programs in language learning and
instruction, and it has become a new trend recently. Even so, computer
technology still has its limitation and weaknesses. Therefore, we must
first realize the advantages and disadvantages of current CALL programs
before applying them to improve our teaching or to help student
learning. In the end, we can avoid the mistake in employing CALL
program and get the maximum benefit for our ESL teaching and learning.
