A virtual classroom provides several benefits for teaching English as a second or foreign language (ESL/EFL). It allows for an enjoyable and interesting learning experience through online lessons and resources that are accessible to both teachers and students. Virtual classrooms offer a wide variety of hardware and software options depending on the specific teaching context. Teachers are able to incorporate different technologies and online tools, such as Skype, to effectively teach English language skills regardless of their context or environment.
The document discusses Assisted Language Learning Computer (CALL). CALL uses computers to help students develop language skills at their own pace. The computer takes on the role of tutor by determining if answers are right or wrong. The teacher plays an important role in CALL by creating lesson plans and programs to guide students. The role of students depends on themselves - they must take advantage of the information provided by the computer based on their acquired language knowledge. Technology, including the internet, provides a place for communication, file sharing, and video conferencing to apply knowledge and accommodate learning.
This document contains summaries of two lesson plans that use digital tools to enhance students' speaking skills. The first lesson is for 10-11 year olds and uses Screenr and Voxopop to practice describing daily routines. The second lesson is for 13-14 year olds and uses Educreations to tell about their best holiday, then share on Edmodo for comments. Both lessons aim to improve speaking, listening, and digital skills through homework recordings shared in class. Access issues may require offline alternatives like digital recorders or Windows Live Movie Maker.
The document discusses the implementation of digital classrooms in schools. It explains that digital classrooms improve learning outcomes through a teacher-led educational solution that allows students to learn at their own pace using interactive content. Key components of the digital classrooms include computers, projectors, UPS devices, networking equipment, and printers. Sample lesson plans are provided showing how teachers can integrate digital content such as videos and assessments into their classroom teaching. Best practices for digital classrooms include viewing content before class, pausing videos for discussion, and using online teacher forums to share resources. The goal is to prepare students for the 21st century with technology-enabled learning.
Integration of technology for english language learnersAngie VonAncken
This document discusses the importance of integrating technology into classrooms for English language learners (ELLs). It recommends using document cameras, iPads, and digital cameras to help ELL students learn vocabulary, work cooperatively, demonstrate skills, and assess their learning.
