Internet as learning environment
in teaching foreign language students
Internet access from the physical
collection of linked computers has long been turned into a cultural phenomenon
and, in particular in the educational environment. One of the priorities of
modern information society is the informatization of education - the process of
improving the educational process on the basis of information and communication
technologies . [1]
According to P.V Sysoev, the Internet
creates a unique environment to familiarize students with culturally diverse
communities of the target language that cannot always give the traditional
textbook in a foreign language. At the same language is used as the primary means of
education and self. [7]
The most widely used in the scientific
literature is the term Internet-based technologies. Below him in the methodology of teaching foreign
languages should be defined as the combination of forms, methods, techniques,
methods of instruction FL using the Internet. In other words, Internet technology - the use of
Internet in teaching foreign languages. [8]
In the didactic plan the Internet includes
two main components: the form of telecommunications (email, chat rooms, forums,
web conferencing, etc.) and information resources (text, audio and visual
material on various topics in different languages). However, to ensure that students are not awash with an
abundance of information of different content and different quality and most
productive use of it to meet the educational and professional interests and
needs, there is a need to develop special educational online materials aimed at
teaching students to work with the resources of the Internet. [5, 8]
Twitter ( from the English. Twit -
«Twitter", "chat") - This web-site, which is a micro blogging
system that lets users send short text notes (up to 140 characters), using a
web interface, SMS, instant messaging services or third-party programs clients. [14] Members of Twitter sometimes called twitters also
sometimes used treatment Twix. Thanks to the Twitter site on the Internet, a new way
to communicate "twitting" (from the English. Twitting). Site Twitter can be used in language education to help
students focus on the ability to write intelligently and concisely. Students can read what others write, and participate
in twitter-discussions. Details on the use of micro blogging in particular site
Twitter, the study of German as a foreign language to write a blog Ralph
Klettske (http://landeskunde.wordpress.com/ubersicht/). [6]
Vicky (English wiki) - Web site structure and
content, which users can change together with the tools provided by the site. For the
first time the term "wiki" to describe the Web site was used in 1995
by Ward Cunningham, developer of the first wiki WikiWikiWeb, which borrowed the
word of the Hawaiian language, meaning "quick." Later the
word was invented by an English transcript What I Know Is ... [14]
wiki technology can be used as a tool for
collaboration on collective projects (the collective creation of artistic
works: stories, poems, essays) as a kind of electronic bulletin board on which could write a whole group, as a database - storage of
collective experience, for the provision, expansion of educational materials. [4] The most famous wiki site - Wikipedia.
Web Quest (English Web Quest web quest) in
pedagogy - a problematic task c role-playing elements, which are used to carry
Internet resources. [2]
In general, Quest, translated from English
- is a long targeted searches, which may be associated with adventure or a
game, also serves to indicate one of the varieties of computer games. The
developers of the Web Quest as a training assignment is Bernie Dodge and Tom
March. Subject Web Quests can be very diverse, problematic
tasks can vary the degree of complexity. [9, 10, 11]
The results of the web quest, depending on
the study material can be presented as oral presentations, computer
presentations, essays, web pages, etc. [12]
Using web-quests and other tasks on the
basis of the internet in language learning requires students to the appropriate
level of proficiency to work with authentic resources. In this regard, the effective integration of
web-quests in the process of learning foreign languages is possible in cases
where a Web Quest is a creative task, the final study of a topic and is
accompanied by training lexical and grammatical exercises. [14].
Podcasting (born podcasting, from the iPod
and English. Broadcasting - ubiquitous, wide-format broadcast) - the process of
creating and distributing podcasts, audio or video broadcasting, the World Wide Web. Typically, podcasts are certain subjects and the
frequency of publication.
New system of podcasting is that data
needs to be downloaded from the site individually and continuously monitor, did
something new on the site of your interest. Instead, you can subscribe free of
charge and from that point to automatically receive new information on your
computer or MP3-Player. To do this, download the appropriate software, for
example, iTunes or Juice, which will regularly check the site and download new
audio - or video files on your computer MP3-Player. [12]
Skype and MSN (the program used to
establish communication between Skype users, or MSN, located anywhere in the
world (chat, voice, video) to transfer files of any size as fast as possible,
to arrange conference calls with several people). [14]
YouTube (service that provides placement
services for video). Google Docs (free online office that includes a text,
spreadsheet and service to create presentations, and online file storage
service with file-sharing functions, developed by Google),
Existing software for learning a foreign
language - are diverse. Below we would like to give a brief analysis of the
major existing computer technology for learning foreign languages. Each of these technologies is an inseparable symbiosis
between hardware and software, so the analysis software must be preceded by a
brief description of appropriate technical devices. [14]
I would like to start with the most
popular for today's purposes and multimedia language laboratories RINEL-LINGO
main possibility of multimedia language laboratory class RINEL-LINGO
(hereinafter CLASS) is the voice and video communications teacher with all
students or a group of students (up to eight groups),as well as voice and video
students, grouped together. Under the video connection is the possibility of
viewing the screen on the monitor student teacher, watching the screen the
teacher to students (a group of students), watching the screen the student to
other students (a group of students). Viewing the display may be both passive and active. Passive viewing screen - is to get a picture of the
computer screen of another job. Active Image screen - is a view of the computer screen
of another job with the ability to control its keyboard and mouse. Voice communication does not affect the speed and
quality of any software, since its implementation does not use the software and
hardware resources. New features of class in conjunction with the
multimedia capabilities of computers themselves can use a variety of teaching
methods that were not previously available for personal use of computers. CLASS is most effective for teaching foreign
languages. The class also can be used to develop a variety of
skills, group work and requires the active voice interaction between group
members and the teacher realized through software RINEL-LINGO, in the classes. In the classes also include software RINEL-SOUNDBOOK,
designed for learning a foreign language. The set of class includes the
following main elements: A set of multimedia computers RINEL JUNIOR; multimedia
language laboratory set RINEL-LINGO; Software RINEL-LINGO, RINEL-SOUNDBOOK; set
of specialized tables, booths, equipment for power wiring, network equipment
Ethernet. [14]
Features of the network training complex
Hi Class Company "Multimedia Systems" offers a comprehensive solution
in the form of a multimedia network training complex Hi Class. Hi Class - a unique multimedia solution for the end
user, not a computer specialist. Hi Class - a completely new solution to this problem,
an original approach in the field of foreign language teaching. Network training complex Hi Class creates a dynamic
educational environment. Combining advanced technology, power and ease of
management, Hi Class teacher provides a really effective tool for teaching
computer-based, and students - friendly interface that focuses on the subject. The situation in the office of teaching, equipped with
the Hi Class, transformed. No more having to crowd around the monitor student
teachers to learn the material. Lecture material, shown on teaching computer in real
time and with the actual speed is displayed on the monitors’ students. [17]
The multimedia network combines the study
and discussion, interactive communication student and teacher, which
significantly increases the efficiency of learning. The control panel offers teachers a set of powerful
tools such as: Broadcast and Quick Broadcast for presenting audio and video
materials on the PC students in real time; Observe and Quick Observe for
monitoring the learning process without interference; Control for operational
monitoring and assistance in learning. This mode provides remote control of student computers
with mouse and keyboard teacher; Reboot - Remote Reboot the workstation; Group
Dialog - formation of groups within the class for discussion, or learning
languages. To connect a multimedia network Hi Class in all
workplaces transmitters installed video and audio, connected by special cables. At each student station provides a block to call the
teacher, which allows rapid exchange of information with the teacher through
headsets - microphones with headphones. Configuration Hi Class determined by
the specific educational institution, as well as the wishes of the teacher. [15]
In conclusion, we consider the most
advanced know-how - to use in teaching foreign language learning software,
which allows a fully" dip "in the learning process. It is called ICLE - Interactive Collaborative Learning
Environment Manufacturer: Cyber mind UK LTD ICLE - the world's first software
product that enables the study of foreign languages in a joint
three-dimensional environment in real time. ICLE integrates the latest technology headset with a
three-dimensional environment designed specifically for teaching foreign
languages at different levels. ICLE Multimedia uses computers connected to the LAN or
ISDN. [16]
Structuring learning a foreign language
using computer technology are entirely dependent on the teacher and the
opportunity to use such technologies in educational process. To date, these current trends can be fashionable and
experimental because every time the teacher needs more than new forms of
learning.
Defining goals, objectives and
possibilities of using computer technology in the classroom, the teacher can,
above all, keep in mind the following basic items:
a) The preservation of mental and physical
health of students;
b) Formation of trainees' basic user
skills;
c) Help the trainees to assimilate the
learning material based on special and well-established for that purpose
computer applications for the study of foreign languages.
All of these tasks, if the teacher is
going to follow such, exclude sitting at computers. Looking for a variety of
forms of educational activity: it's front work to update knowledge, and group
or pair work students on learning specific academic skills and educational
games, and the work of consulting services, it is interesting and oral and
written assignments. Everything should be made so that the PC does not
become an end in itself, but only an effective complement to the entire
educational process.
Developments in this area are still very
small in understandable reasons: the teacher gets a computer class, over the
allotted time, he tries to use its maximum, ignore with all the medical
requirements on time with a personal computer.
Intensification of academic work and
stress are not components of success. Unfortunately, many software applications
contain the same methodological error: less likely they orient teachers to use
them as an effective means of teaching: they have a lot of hard counting
errors, and little real help to the student who found themselves in a quandary. [10]
Moreover, the teacher should consider
forms of assistance to such students. Teacher should hardly expect that the use of computer
technology will greatly facilitate its own work. Individualization of learning, certainly concomitant
use of information technology in the classroom, the teacher requires additional
time and effort.
