INFORMATION and COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY

(ICT)• What is ICT?• Types of ICT

• What can and can’t do in ICT• ICT in pedagogy

• Function of ICT in classroom related to CALL application

What is ICT?covers any product that will store, retrieve, manipulate, transmit or receive information electronically in a digital form.

For example, personal computers, digital television, email, robots. Riley, Jim .2012, ICT, Businnes&Technology; Tutor U.

TYPES OF ICT/CALL1. Types of ICT program :• CALL-specific software: applications designed to develop

and facilitate language learning, such as CD-ROMs, web-based interactive language learning exercises/quizzes

• Generic software: applications designed for general purposes, such as word-processors (Word),  presentation software, and spreadsheet (Excel), that can be used to support language learning

• Web-based learning programs: online dictionaries, online encyclopedias, online concordancers, news/magazine sites, e-texts, web-quests, web publishing, blog, wiki, etc.

• Computer-mediated communication (CMC) programs: synchronous - online chat; asynchronous - email, discussion forum, message board

2. Types of ICT activity

 • writing & word-

processing• concordancing  • web

quests/searching• web publishing• online

communication (synchronous and asynchronous)

• multiple-choice & true/false quizzes

• gap-filling exercise/cloze

• matching• re-ordering/

sequencing• crossword puzzles• games• simulations

What computers can and can’t do(based on Meskill, 2002, p. 122 )

Computers CAN• Judge predetermined right-

or-wrong answers, e.g., multiple choice and fill-in-the-blanks

• Provide immediate, yet fixed, feedback, suggestions, and encouragement

• Provide authentic information through multimedia - texts, images, sounds, videos, and animations

• Motivate task persistence • Record learner’s writing,

speech, and learning progress

Computers CAN’T• Judge unexpected input• Provide individualized

feedback beyond a predetermined list of messages 

• Engage learner in rich negotiation of meaning characteristic of face-to-face interaction

• Motivate depth and quality of engagement characteristic of human interaction

 Improving learning with ICTs

Motivating students/Engaging students in the learning process – Through multisensory stimulation – By providing authentic information

 Facilitating acquisition of basic skills – through drill-and-practice Educational TV shows such

as Sesame Street , Batibot , Math-Tinik Computer-assisted instruction

– Fostering inquiry and exploration Virtual tours Simulations

Developing skills that are necessary for the 21 st century workplace: – technological literacy – information literacy – communication skills – problem solving skills – the ability to handle dynamic

situations – the ability to work

collaboratively with others

How can we include ICT in Pedagogy?

ICT is a good way of teaching, learning, and reinforcing or testing the students in the classroom.

e.g. Teaching vocabulary.

ICT can be used in almost every subject;

• ICT IN NATURAL SCIENCE (Spread sheet to tabulate calculate results or To see visual effect of manipulating variable, etc)

• ICT IN MATH (Students can use applets available on internet for performing mathematical problem and also Can use modeling packaging like mathematician)

• ICT IN SOCIAL SCIENCE (Report making on Social & ethical issues via Internet , etc)

TEACHER SHOULD KNOW• When, when not & how to use ICT in

teaching their subject• How ICT can be used for teaching the

whole class• How ICT can be used when planning• How to assess student’s work when

ICT have been used• How ICT can be used to keep up-to-

date, share best practice

ADVANTAGES OF ICT facilitating learning for children of

different learning style &ability making learning effective involving more

senses in multimedia context

providing a broader international context for approaching problems as well as being more sensitive respnse to local needs

• student/learner-centeredness (to promote learner autonomy)

• meaningful purpose• comprehensive input• sufficient level of stimulation (cognitively

and affectively)• multiple modalities (to support various

learning styles and strategies)• high level of interaction (human-machine

and human-human)
