2. How to learn language with the help of
computer
In 1990s the personal
computer emerged as a
significant tool for
language teaching and
learning.
Local Area Networks
(LAN) has given
advantages.

3. In the 1980s and 1990s Mainframe computers were
at first seen as the task master.
Multimedia has became an important part of
computer.
Was the computer to be a replacement for teachers
or merely an obedient servant to students?!!!

4. Learning
Task-based learning. (i.e. Tasks like movie reviewing
worksheet, online tests/ quiz, etc).
Plato System: A software which runs some courses
at the international level too. (Coursera MOOC).
Task based learning and an instructive learning.
We are using some techniques like audio taped
language materials in a traditional language lab.

5. Side effects
In language lab students have to spent their 50%
time because of physically rewinding and locating
tape segments.
In computer assisted learning students have to
spent less time because they can guess the answer
and can get feedback immediately.

6. Web based communication
Web 1.0 : It has one way communication.
Web 2.0 : It has two way communication.
Games, commands, vocabulary, computer
application or software and web based computer
apps.
Common web applications include web mail, online
retail sales, online auctions, wikis and many other
functions.

7. Applications
Examples of browser applications are simple office
software ( word processors, online spread sheets
and presentation tools).
More advanced applications such as project
management computer aided design, video editing
and point-of sale.
Applications allow for easier introduction of new
user devices like smart phones or tablets because
they have built-in-browser.

8. • Horde software is an open source web application.

9. Listening Skill
Students can replay listening input anytime.
Disadvantage is the lack of verbal interaction and
negotiation of meaning.
Self access is authentic listening content.
www.voa.gov (voice of America).
www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/ (BBC World Service).
CD-ROM and DVDs are sources for audio files.

10. Speaking skill
Speech recognition technology.
Control computer with speech input.
It allows the student to speak, who is shying in
speaking.
Useless for pronunciation correction.
Dynamic English in 1997 and ELLIS in 1998, these
programs use this technology.
Example like Voice and video email.

11. Reading Skills
We can improve our reading skills with the help of
paced reading activities by automating the creation
of cloze passages, by timing student’s reading and
by creating jigsaw paragraphs and jumbled texts.
A demonstration of a Macintosh software program.

12. Writing Skill
In computers we
found some aspects
of the writing with
the help of easy
revision, multiple
drafts, spell-checking
of student’s made
errors.

13. It is used with caution by advanced writer.
In computers there are some games like cross-word
puzzles and vocabulary drilling, which improves
grammatical perfectness.
