The document discusses four key skills for language teaching - phonology, speaking, listening, and reading - and how computers and technology can help develop these skills. It notes that for phonology, computers allow viewing articulatory organs and voice waveforms. For speaking, programs provide input but may not correct pronunciation. Listening skills can be developed through hours of computer input and comprehension questions. Reading skills are enhanced through paced reading, cloze passages, and rearranging texts. Writing and grammar skills benefit from word processors, drills, and vocabulary games. Concordance programs allow searching texts for words and surrounding context.

2. 1. Phonetics and phonology: Allows the student to watch
an animated sagittal section demonstrating articulatory
organs that are otherwise hidden and to view voice wave
forms which plot the student’s own recorded speech
against a target native model.
2. Speaking skills: although accepting such a wide range
of accents as to be useless for pronunciation correction.
 many programs like Dynamic English and ELLIS use to
students

3. 3. Listening skills: students may receive hours of listening
input at the computer, with appropriate comprehension
questions, easily controlled repetition and immediate
playback.
 On the internet students can self-access much authentic
listening context,
 For example: voice of America and BBC world service
4. Reading skills: programs can enhance reading speed by
paced reading services, where lines of text are scrolled with
pre-determined timing by automating the creation of cloze
passages by timing students reading and by creating jigsaw
paragraphs or jumbled texts.

4. 5. Writing skill and composition: one of the earliest
computer technologies readily adapted by language
teachers is the word processor.
6. Grammar and vocabulary practice: beyond naked
drills and vocabulary games can be very motivating for
learners in twos or threes around one computer screen.
 For example: puzzle maker
7. Concordance programs: the programs search a text for
a word or phrase, presenting them with about 10 words of
surrounding text.
 Concordance software is often published with sets of text
specifically designed for classroom use.
