The guidelines that EFL teachers consider when using technology in their language classes

Task 1

                   Teaching program is developing day by day. Teachers try to change the techniques of teaching another language. Today EFL teachers introduce the education by using different kinds of multimedia such as computer, Radio, phone, translation device, TV and Internet.  All these focus in introduce the learning in sound perspective and vision perspective.                                                                                  

      Technology is the practical application of knowledge in a particular area. Nowadays the word “technology” influences all aspects of lives. For example, we use computer at home as a tool for many activities like watching TV, playing games. Moreover,   using technology facilitates the way of education and improves the level of students. The EFL teachers should be careful while introducing learning through technology. And they should follow a certain role and guidelines to make it more effective to develop the languages among students. Teachers need to introduce the language in four manners: listening, reading, writing and speaking. These terms will make a huge different in improving the language skills with students. Introducing multimedia needs consideration in student's application of it in correct way to be sure that they get benefits from connecting technology to teaching program. Also, Using different kinds of multimedia make students more interesting to learn different languages. The teachers should be aware about the way that students apply the technology to let them use it in more effective way. The teachers should try to let students accept the technology in the curriculum and making language easy.

On other hands, one way to attract students in studying English is using technologies such as internet, computer programs, videos and online lessons. They can make students more interesting. They could feel that English is not boring but interesting and fun. It also results to higher scores and achievement.

Moreover, teachers try to use any sources to motivate them, to enhance them pay attention when they are in class e.g. using computer like MS power point, Internet and also computer assisted instruction. I do agree that technology can be used as an effective teaching tool for English language learners. Also, I believe that the first thing a teacher should think about is the relevance of what he/she is teaching and then choose the best approach to do so, by using technology or not. Also, technology is supposed to add value to your class, not distract the student from the real purpose of the class.

     Therefore, technology offers powerful supports in EFL language teaching. All teachers should be the learner at the same time learning to use the new technology to help their teaching. The technology help the teachers achieve the teaching goals easily and the learners will develop their 4 skills of English in the same time.                                                 

                At the end,   Not easy for teachers to introduce language by using technology because people tend to refuse any changing in way of learning and needs a lot of time to training them in using new multimedia. Introducing of language by technology needs a lot of efforts from teacher who teaches and students as well. To make technology successful, teachers should introduce it in clear point to make students understand easily.
