In the communicative approach to language teaching, this mean modeling listening practice in authentic situation, those that learners are likely to encounter when they are use the language outside the classroom. A. Introduction Technology is very important in teaching process. One of the most frequently cited reasons for justifying the need for change in education, or at least for labeling education as old-fashioned, is the enormous technological revolution our world has undergone in recent years. Nowadays, we have the Internet in our pocket, in the form of a smartphone, which has exponentially more computing power than the Apollo Guidance Computer that put the first men on the moon. A school with desks, blackboards or whiteboards, and perish the thought books seems like some kind of archaic institution, one that, even if it does use a smartboard or a learning platform, operates in a manner that bears a suspiciously strong resemblance to the way things were done in the past. In education, we often have the feeling that we are finding it harder and harder to reach our students. That is why we are so feverishly interested in smartboards or learning platforms or anything new on the market that might help. Every new tool seems like a possible solution, although sometimes we really don't know what the problem is or even if there is one. Technological innovations break the boundaries in learning languages, either from making independent learning more efficient, adding value to the time spent in class, or by giving wider exposure to language education so that it can be accessed by more people. By bringing overall services closer to the place and time of demand, technology plays an important role in supporting learning success. The most basic and proven application of educational technology provides and solves problems provided for learning. Based on the renewal of educational technology, this problem solving consists of learning resources. These resources, both deliberately designed and selected, are then used as concrete products that are available to assist with learning. This product is the clearest proof of the application of educational technology.Applications that can be launched: (1) tutorials, key lessons provided, (2) exercises and repetition to help learners develop fluency in previously learned material, (3) games and simulations to help use newly learned help; and (5) and data sources that allow expenditures to access data

New audio technology partners to support authentic literacy development

Research indicates that the sheer quantity of reading has a major influence on reading development. Readers who read more become better readers in a cycle that promotes increased fluency and comprehension, as well as an appreciation for the benefits of reading. A conundrum emerges when working with young learners who are just learning to read. Many of these children are developmentally ready to begin comprehending and discussing good stories, but have low decoding skills to process the written text. A new, low cost technology has been developed to provide students with a reading partner that helps students engage in reading. The partner can read text, provide help with vocabulary, and model good questioning to foster comprehension. This paper presents a theoretical perspective for engaging young students in good reading habits in conjunction with practicing basic decoding skills. A unique and affordable audio compact disc controller provides students with the ability to request pred...

Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2024

The purpose of the study is to improve the reading comprehension of Grade Three students using audio-assisted technology. This study was conducted at Doña Julita M. Gatuslao Memorial School during the school year 2023-2024 and participated by thirty-three (33) Grade Three pupils who were selected using total enumeration while ten (10) students were selected purposively for a semi-structured interview. The researchers employed a one-group experimental design, utilizing pre-test and post-test measures to assess the effects of the intervention on participants' reading comprehension. The Revised Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (PHIL-IRI) was used to measure reading comprehension. In addition, a descriptive qualitative design was employed to ascertain students' experiences with the intervention for eight weeks. An interview guide was implemented to elicit students' experiences, and its validity was confirmed by three panels of evaluators. Before the intervention, the student's reading comprehension level was categorized as frustration, indicating that they struggled with reading. However, after the introduction of audioassisted technology, the student's reading comprehension level improved to an instructional level. Additionally, there was a significant difference in the students' reading comprehension levels before and after the intervention, suggesting the effectiveness of the intervention. Furthermore, the students expressed a preference for using technology in reading over traditional methods. They listened attentively when new technologies were used for teaching reading and enjoyed and engaged in reading when technology was integrated into their learning. Based on these findings, the researchers recommend that teachers utilize audio-assisted technology as it yields promising results in improving reading comprehension.

Teaching Listening and Pronunciation: A Technology Inspired Approach

In ESL/EFL context, listening and pronunciation are always considered as two extremely vital and challenging skills to be taught. Teaching these skills becomes all the more challenging in a country like India which is extremely diverse mainly in terms of cultures and languages. Students have to be motivated and worked upon and closely monitored by the teacher. Traditional methods and tools of teaching listening and pronunciation are becoming outdated very fast with the advent and spread of computers and high speed internet even in the remote parts of India. With the students also becoming tech savvy day by day, it has become the need of the hour to introduce a technology inspired change in teaching skills like listening and pronunciation. This will not only motivate the students to learn, but also make it possible for the teacher to monitor and track their progress effectively. This paper aims to discuss how technology inspired approach can make teaching effective for adult ESL learners and how different technologies like Digital Language Lab software and various components of interactive web like websites, wikis, blogs and social media can be combined and implemented to inspire students even in a small town.

The Role of Technology in Audio Text Comprehension for English as a Second Language

Recent Tools for Computer- and Mobile-Assisted Foreign Language Learning, 2020

This chapter proposes to establish a starting point in the design of technology specialized in the development of listening comprehension skills from a theoretical perspective, when learning English as a second language. Therefore, an exploration about how technologies have evolved in the practice of learning English as a second language was required. Likewise, authors look at fundamental aspects of technology literacy and how this is rooted in users' contexts. From this, they conceptualize the symbolic competence through the ecological theory in order to design a computer-assisted language learning practice. Findings led to the conclusion that a guide on how to build specialized technology in English learning as a second language does not exist. What indeed exists is the application of recycled technology created for other purposes but used for English learning. Authors propose a practice where the meaning is explored through the understanding of what happens in the context by ...
