- 16. Level 0 – Non-use Main reasons for ICT non-use: • lack of ICT competency • lack of ICT equipment in the classroom • poor quality of ICT equipment • extensive consumption of time to prepare lessons with ICT • low incentives for use leading to low motivation to use ICT 16/12/2013 – Engaging with Vietnam 16
- 17. Level 1 – Mundane use: e.g. checking email, calculating grades Reasons: • poor quality of facilities • lack of ICT facilities in classrooms “We cannot use those old computers to prepare our lessons because they are so slow and don’t have software which we can use.” (ID 26) 17
- 18. Level 2 - Using off-the-shelf CD-based educational software Reasons: • convenient • economical • easy to use. “Cassette tapes are out of date and cause many problems when we use them. In our Department of [name of department] we 100% use CDs in replacement of cassette tapes and save a lot of costs.” (ID 12) 18
- 19. Level 3 - Utilising Internet applications • search the internet for relevant materials • download suitable learning materials onto a computer or an USB “In general, we, teachers, often download materials onto our laptop computers then show those materials to our students in the classroom.” (ID 20) 19
- 20. Level 4 – Creating teaching materials • Widely use presentation “In language practice, I use PowerPoint to show software to create images about things or teaching materials products representing a particular culture, any images relating to the lecture so that students can practise questionsand-answers, storytelling or description, etc.” (ID 30) 20
- 21. Level 5 – Customising multimedia resources • Use editing software “I use Audacity to edit, cut or slow down audio files to suit different groups of students. For interpreting skills, I mainly use RealPlayer and Audacity to edit audio files. I have heard about some video editing software programs but personally I have never used them.” (ID 03) 21
- 22. Levels 6 & 7 – Producing simple applications and implementing sophisticated systems • Use software to design practice exercises for students, e.g. Hot Potatoes, Word … • Use Moodle to create a favourable digital environment for students’ collaborative learning. “You can make lesson preparation with software Hot Potatoes or other software programs, however Moodle program allows us to upload audio and video files, even allows teachers to communicate with students like videoconferencing at any time.” (ID 27) 22

- 24. Pedagogical uses of ICT Direct teaching Use ICT to support traditional, teacher-centred methods 16/12/2013 – Engaging with Vietnam 24
- 25. Cognitively active learning • Use ICT to promote collaboration • Students and teachers co-create knowledge • Active role of students in their learning process 16/12/2013 “We sometimes give students homework, for example, to go online and search for examples of sentence patterns and expressions often used for a particular topic, then students come to the class to share with their classmates.” (ID 09) 25
- 26. Constructive learning “When we bring authentic video or audio recordings Students’ construction of and the breath of life into their own knowledge on the classroom, students the basis of interactions with recorded examples of will feel less surprised when they go outside.” (ID real-life situations: 22) 26
- 27. Social learning Use social networking, Moodle and online forums to foster collaborative learning and social activities “I created some groups on Facebook or Yahoo for my students to exchange their discussions; introduced some online forums in [name of country] so that my students could make friends with [name of language] students.” (ID 09) 27
- 28. Conclusions Current use of ICT: technological use of ICT rather than pedagogical use. ICT is being utilised to reinforce traditional, teacher-centred teaching style. 16/12/2013 – Engaging with Vietnam 28
- 29. Teachers’ integration of ICT is affected by many factors. Teachers’ positive beliefs and attitudes = the strongest predictor of ICT usage. ICT professional development a change in teachers’ beliefs a change in teachers’ behaviour about ICT use 16/12/2013 – Engaging with Vietnam 29
