LEARNING ENGLISH THROUGH DIDACTIC TECHNOLOGIES TOOLS

This blog has been created with the purpose to help both teachers as students in their learning in the english language through of these tool as pictures, recordes, tips and others grammar exercises.

By using multimedia technology to incorporate pictures or video into the lesson, the teacher can provide students with the necessary contextual cues to understand new concepts. Visual information can provide the necessary bridge or scaffold between everyday language and more difficult academic language (Cruz, 2004).




TIPS FOR TEACHERS 


One of steps that every teacher need to put on practice is to exploit the knowledge of each one of their students, it mean, the grammar, vocabulary, speaking and listening skills has to developt into an environment learning. 
Finding a way to infuse technology into instruction not only helps English language learners acquire a second language, but also enhances motivation and confidence (Lacina, 2004; Lin, 2009).




Act in accordance with the three p’s. They are plan beforehand, prepare, and practice.
You need to plan beforehand and write a plan of what you are going to teach prior to each lesson. Bear in mind your students, the amount of time and the material and means you have at your disposal.
The way you teach will be assured and more effective if you plan and prepare painstakingly. When you have organized all that information, set aside time to go over parts of your lesson. Practice by doing a quick review of important talking points and calculating how much time it will take for your students to grasp, internalize and complete certain lessons and activities.


How to Teach a Perfect Listening Lesson

·        Wake up Their Brains
Before your students ever listen to the material you will be using during your lesson, it is important to get them thinking about the topic it will address
·        Getting to the Heart of the Matter
A good listening lesson gives students a chance to listen to the material multiple times.
·        Feedback Functions
Now that you have gotten your students thinking about the subject and given them a chance to listen to the material once through, have your students go back to their original discussion groups and questions.
·        What’s the Nitty Gritty?
Your students should already have an understanding of the listening material, so now it’s time to get to the specifics. As your students listen this time, they will be taking notes and listening for specific information. You might want your students to take notes as they listen and then answer comprehension questions. (Give them the questions before they listen to the material again.) You can also have students fill out an outline as they listen. If you are teaching specific vocabulary, have students listen for and write a definition for each new word. You can even ask students to make inferences based on the information in the listening passage. Don’t feel like you have to limit your students’ listening to only two times, either. Play the selection for them as many times as they need to hear it to get the information you are asking for. If you are asking for two or more types of information (vocabulary, comprehension questions, etc.) give your students a listen for each set of information you want them to note.
·        Step it up
Now your students have listened to the passage multiple times and should have a thorough understanding of what they heard, it is time to apply that information to another context

Some useful techniques to use when teaching listening. Why not add a tip of your own!
