USING INTERNET RESOURCES IN TEACHING ENGLISH TO YOUNG LEARNERS

This paper is intended to give a brief overview of the potential benefits of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) use in education and the ways by which different ICTs have been used in education thus far. An example of making use Internet resources for teaching English for young learners is also performed in this paper. Then this paper concludes with an expectation of future ICT-based education in Indonesia. Globalization and technological change have created a new global economy. The emergence of this new global economy has serious implications for the nature and purpose of educational institutions. As the half-life of information continues to shrink and access to information continues to grow exponentially, schools cannot remain mere venues for the transmission of a prescribed set of information from teacher to student over a fixed period of time. Therefore, Information and communication technologies (ICTs)—which include radio and television, as well as newer digital technologies such as computers and the Internet—have been touted as potentially powerful enabling tools for educational change and reform. When used appropriately, different ICTs are said to help expand access to education, strengthen the relevance of education to the increasingly digital workplace, and raise educational quality by, among others, helping make teaching and learning into an engaging, active process connected to real life. National vision that related to the development of human resources in the ICT sector is: " Implement Longlife Learning Paradigm ". In order to increase the level of life quality, in which ICT is positioned in this context as a resource to achieve " Make Ict As The Tool To Achieve Longlife Learning Paradigm ". Rather, schools must promote " learning to learn " ,i.e., the acquisition of knowledge and skills that make possible continuous learning over the lifetime. However, the experience of introducing different ICTs in the classroom and other educational settings all over the world over the past several decades suggests that the full realization of the potential educational benefits of ICTs is not automatic. The effective integration of ICTs into the educational system is a complex, multifaceted process that involves not just technology—indeed, given enough initial capital, getting the technology is the easiest part!—but also

THE INTERNET FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING

Many English teachers recognize the potential of the Internet for long-distance communication. It enables English learners to communicate with others across the globe. However, many teachers fail to realize that the Internet can be of great benefit not only for long-distance exchanges but also for linking students in a single classroom. Three types of electronic communication are possible within a single class: teacher-student communication, out-of-class electronic discussion, and in-class, real time electronic discussion. This lesson plan focuses on integrating four different courses under my instruction: English Composition, Journalism English, Word Processing, The Application of Computer Software. It consists of several learning modules, each of which has two teaching aims: one is in the realm of reading and writing skills (content aim), whereas the other focuses on using the Internet as a tool (instrumental aim) .
