THE INTERNET FOR ENGLISH TEACHING GUIDELINES FOR TEACHERS.docx
Xudoyberdiyeva Gulchehra Xudoyberdiyeva Teacher of English in school 8 in Chirchiq district THE INTERNET FOR ENGLISH TEACHING: GUIDELINES FOR TEACHERS As has been noted elsewhere, "technology is developing so rapidly that it can often be difficult or even overwhelming to harness, somewhat like trying to get a drink of water from a gushing fire hydrant"). In order to make effective use of new technologies, teachers must thus take a step back and focus on some basic pedagogical requirements. The following guidelines are designed to help teachers implement computer network­based activities into the second language classroom. There   are   several   possible   reasons   for   using   the   Internet   in   language teaching. One rationale is found in the belief that the linguistic nature of online communication is desirable for promoting language learning. It has been found, for example, that electronic discourse tends to be more lexically and syntactically more complex than oral discourse and features a broad range of linguistic functions beneficial for language learning. Another possible reason for using the Internet is that   it   creates   optimal   conditions   for   learning   to   write,   since   it   provides   an authentic audience for written communication. A third possible reason is that it can increase students' motivation. A fourth possible reason is the belief that learning computer skills is essential to students' future success; this reason suggests that it is not only a matter of using the Internet to learn English but also of learning English to be able to function well on the Internet. None of these reasons are more or less legitimate than any of the others. However, since there are so many ways to integrate the Internet into classroom instruction, it is important for the teacher to clarify his or her goals. If, for example, one of the teacher's goals is to teach students new computer skills, the teacher may want to choose Internet applications which will be most useful to them outside of the classroom, with activities structured so that students steadily gain mastery of more skills. If the immediate goal is to create a certain kind of linguistic environment for students,   once   again,   the   teacher   should   consider   what   types   of   language experiences would be beneficial and structure computer activities accordingly. If the goal is to teach writing, Internet activities should be structured so that they steadily bring about an increase in the types of writing processes and relationships essential to becoming a better writer. Most teachers who have used the Internet have started out with some kind of simple key pal (computer pen pal) exchanges. And most teachers who have used these exchanges have felt something lacking. Simply put, there is no more reason to   except   a   significant   educational   outcome   from   simply   creating   a   pen   pal connection than there is from simply bringing two students into a room and asking them to talk. Over time, greater  involvement  on the teacher's part in creating learning activities that create sufficient linguistic and cognitive demands on the student is needed to get maximum benefit from Internet exchanges. And, as a number of people have noted, this teacher intervention is most successful when it brings   about   activities   and   projects   that   are   well­integrated   into   the   course curriculum as a whole. Beyond   these   issues   of   learner   preparation,   there   are   a   number   of   other complexities   in   introducing   Internet­based   activities   in   the   ESL   classroom. Activities in a single class may be dependent on scheduling the computer lab, and on students finding computers outside the class time to continue their activities. Hardware   and   software   can   malfunction   and   computer   systems   can   be   down. Students' schedules might not permit them to return to the computer lab at a time when computers are available to complete their assignments. Exchanges between classes are even more complex. The partner class might have absent students, or might not meet in a particular week due to holidays or other activities   in   that   location.   The   partner   teacher   might   not   have   the   same understanding of the nature of the exchange, and working through differences can cause further delays. The students might have differences in background, language, and experience which can cause further complications. Mindful of the complexities which can arise in Internet usage, teachers need to provide   support   sufficient   to   prevent   students   from   being   overwhelmed   by difficulties.   This   kind   of   support   can   take   numerous   forms:   creating   detailed handouts that students can refer to when class is finished and the teacher's personal help is not accessible; building technology training sessions into the class schedule, not only in the beginning but on an ongoing basis; working with the computer center to set up log­on systems and other procedures which are as simple and intuitive as possible; assigning students to work in pairs or groups, both in and out of the lab, so that they can provide assistance to each other; providing details to the students about how and when they can get assistance from technology specialists or others on campus outside of class; and being available to help students at times when they are most likely to need it. Notably favorable is that the nature of computer­mediated communication creates opportunities for more decentered interaction. To fully exploit these opportunities, the teacher must learn to become a "guide on the side" rather than a "sage on the stage". A situation which is based on communication between students but in which   the   students   have   little   say   over   the   topics   or   outcomes   of   that communication is not likely to lead to the kind of atmosphere optimal for language learning. As pointed out elsewhere, involving students in determining the class direction does not imply a passive role for teachers. Teachers' contributions in a learner­ centered,   network­enhanced   classroom   include   coordinating   group   planning, focusing   students'   attention   on   linguistic   aspects   of   computer   mediated   texts, helping  students   gain  meta­linguistic   awareness   of   genres   and  discourses,   and assisting students in developing appropriate learning strategies.
