SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGY IN THE CLASSROOM

Technology in language teaching

1. CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning), appeared in early 1980s. It is required learners to respond to stimuli on the computer screen and to carry out tasks. The CALL approach is one that is still found on many published CD-ROMs for language teaching.
2. ICT (Information and Comunications Technology) has become more widespread.
3. TELL (Technology Enchanced Language Learning) appeared in the 1990s, in response to growing possibilities offered by the Internet and Communications Technology.

There are ten reason why we should use the technology in classroom, namely:

• Internet is becoming increasingly available to learners.
• Using technology is a way to bring the outside world into the classroom.
• English, as an international language.
• Internet present us with new opportunities for authentic tasks and materials, as well as access to a wealth of ready-made ELT material.
• The internet offers excellent opportunities for colaboration and communication between learners in another place.
• Learners increasingly expect language schools to intregate technology into teaching.
• Technology offers new ways for practicing language and assesing performance.
• Technology is becoming increasingly mobile.
• Using a range of ICT tools can give learners exposure to and practice in all of the four main language skills-speaking, listening, writing and reading.

Attitudes to Technology

• Timetable when you are going to use the computer room well in advance.
• Some computer-based work can be done alone, for example using CD-ROMs.
• This is an often heard-remark and reflects a very real lack of training in the classroom use of technology in ELT.
• This remask often true for teacher who teach younger adults or young learner.
• The use of technology in the classroom does not replace using traditional materials such as a black/whiteboard or a coursebook.
• This dislike and fear of computers is often expressed by teachers who have had negative experiences with technology in the past.
• Making new materials from stratch can be time-consuming, both for paper based classes and for classes using technology.

Skills and Equipment for getting started

• At least one computer (preferably one per two students).
• An internet connection
• A printer
• An audio card in the computer, and a headset for every computer
• Basic software

Title : Sonnet 1
Author : William Shakespeare
Year : 1609



Summary:

I have been red the song of william shakespare. The song is Sonnet 1, it is the first edition of his song. There are 154 sonnets that i know and this is the each one. This is talk about life of him. I think this song has an unique lyric, with the shakespeare language can make the listener feel comfort.


Sonnet I

FROM fairest creatures we desire increase,
That thereby beauty's rose might never die,
But as the riper should by time decease,
His tender heir might bear his memory:
But thou, contracted to thine own bright eyes,
Feed'st thy light'st flame with self-substantial fuel,
Making a famine where abundance lies,
Thyself thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel.
Thou that art now the world's fresh ornament
And only herald to the gaudy spring,
Within thine own bud buriest thy content
And, tender churl, makest waste in niggarding.
Pity the world, or else this glutton be,
To eat the world's due, by the grave and thee.

Beowulf

Title : Beowulf

Author : Neil Gaiman, Roger Avary

Year : 2007

City : United States

Beowulf is a motion film based on Old English epic poem from the same name, directed by Robert Zemeckis. The film was released in 2007 in United States. Beowulf's story of a hero who slays monsters has become a fanboy fantasy that panders with demonic energy to the young male demographic, the story is about fight of Beowulf and Grendel because of power and glory. The protagonist is Beowulf, pretoyed by Ray Winston. The antagonist are Grendel and Grendel’s mother, are proteyed by Cripsin Glover and Angelina Jolie. King Hrothgar is portrayed by Anthony Hopkins, Unferth is portrayed by John Malkovich, Brendan Gleeson as Wiglaf, Beowulf's sidekick,Robin Wright Penn as Queen Wealtheow, Alison Lohman as Ursula, Beowulf's mistress when he is an old king, Sebastian Roché as Wulfgar, Costas Mandylor as Hondshew, Greg Ellis as Garmund.. I compared the poem with the film stating that, "If you don’t remember this evil babe from the poem, it’s because she’s almost entirely the invention of the screenwriters Roger Avary and Neil Gaiman and the director Robert Zemeckis, who together have plumped her up in words, deeds and curves. These creative interventions aren’t especially surprising given the source material and the nature of big-studio adaptations. There’s plenty of action in Beowulf, but even its more vigorous bloodletting pales next to its rich language, exotic setting and mythic grandeur yet the 3-D is necessary to the film only insofar as it keeps your eyes engaged when your mind starts to wander. Stripped of much of the original poem’s language, its cadences, deep history and context, this film version of Beowulf doesn’t offer much beyond 3-D oohs and ahs, sword clanging and a nicely conceived dragon. It's the Beowulf saga once again, and the movie becomes tiresome and trivial - well done within the narrow limits of its aspiration but not worth the inflated effort. To do Beowulf again, there should be some reason to do Beowulf at all. In 2005, for example, Beowulf & Grendel revisited the tale in order to present Grendel as a nice guy with his own point of view. That was a very bad reason to revisit Beowulf, but at least it was a rea

Renaissance Poetry

A Ditty

My true love hath my heart, and i have his,
By just exchange one for another given:
I hold his dear, and mine he cannot miss,
there never was a better bargain driven:
my true love hath my heart, and i have his.

His heart in me keeps him and me in one,
my heart in him his thoughts and senses guides:
he loves my heart, for once it was his own,
I cherish his because in me it bides:
My true love hath my heart,and i have his.

Sir Philip Sidney (1554-1586)

Summary:

The poet write about his love experience, he sad because his true love broken his heart and cannot keep their relation. The words was not difficult because he uses simple idioms and can understood by me.

English Teaching Aids

A teaching aid is a tool which used by teacher, it used for facilitator in teaching. It can help the teacher to explain the material in order to easily.
Help learners improve reading and other skill, illustrate or reinforce a skill, fact, or idea, and relieve anxiety, fears, or boredom, since many teaching aids are like games.

Lewis Carroll poem

Lewis Carroll (1832-1898)
A Boat beneath a Sunny Sky

A BOAT beneath a sunny sky,
Lingering onward dreamily
In an evening of July --

Children three that nestle near,
Eager eye and willing ear,
Pleased a simple tale to hear --

Long has paled that sunny sky:
Echoes fade and memories die:
Autumn frosts have slain July.

Still she haunts me, phantomwise,
Alice moving under skies
Never seen by waking eyes.

Children yet, the tale to hear,
Eager eye and willing ear,
Lovingly shall nestle near.

In a Wonderland they lie,
Dreaming as the days go by,
Dreaming as the summers die:

Ever drifting down the stream --
Lingering in the golden gleam --
Life, what is it but a dream?

British Literature

By far the largest part of this literature is written in the English language, but there are also separate literatures in Latin, Welsh, Scottish Gaelic, Scots, Cornish, Manx, Jèrriais, Guernésiais and other languages. Northern Ireland is the only part of Ireland still part of the United Kingdom and it possesses literature in English, Ulster Scots and Irish. Irish writers have also played an important part in the development of English-language literature.

Old English

old English (also called Anglo-Saxon, Englisc by its speakers) is an early form of the English language that was spoken and written in parts of what are now England and southern Scotland between the mid-5th century and the mid-12th century. What survives through writing represents primarily the literary register of Anglo-Saxon. It is a West Germanic language and is closely related to Old Frisian. It also experienced heavy influence from Old Norse, a member of the related North Germanic group of languages
