  1. USING TECHNOLOGY TO ENHANCE STANAG 6001-BASED ENGLISH LANGUAGELEARNING KAZIMIERZ SZCZEPAŃSKI AKADEMIA MARYNARKI WOJENNEJ (NAVAL ACADEMY) GDYNIA, POLAND

  2. OVERVIEW • For what is STANAG 6001 used? • STANAG courses versus other courses. • Optimal language learning environment. • Technologies and their uses. • Technologies available. • Examples of useful websites. • Technology and technology-based pedagogy.

  3. WE USE STANAG 6001 FOR EALBORATION OF • LANGUAGE SYLLABUSES • CURRICULUM GUIDELINES • EXAMINATIONS • TEACHING MATERIALS

  4. STANAG 6001-ORIENTED AND NON-STANAG COURSES • BASIC DIFFERENCE – LEARNER NEEDS • BASIC SIMILARITY – HOPES AND EXPECTATIONS RELATED TO TECHNOLOGY

  5. LEARNING THEORY ASTHE STARTING POINT • MANY THEORIES • STILL LITTLE IS KNOWN • EXERIENCE RATHER THAN PRODUCT OF THEORETICAL REFLECTION • ECCLECTIC APPROACH RECOMMENDED

  6. OPTIMAL LANGUAGE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT • High quality input; • Ample opportunities for practice; • High quality of feedback; and • Individualized context.

  7. METHODOLOGY • To meet the conditions necessary to create the optimal language learning classroom educators need appropriate tools in the form of methodology (pedagogy). • Methods employed - most effective in reaching the objectives

  8. EFFECTIVENESS • MOTIVATION • CHARCTERISTIC OF THE LEARNERS • HUMAN RESOURCES • MATERIAL RESOURCES

  9. TECHNOLOGY AND FOREIGN LANGUAGE LEARNING • BLACKBOARD • THE INTERNET

  10. Modern technologies in language learning classrooms include: • multimedia computers, CD-ROMS; • interactive whiteboards or mimios; • the Internet; • tablets; and perhaps • iPods.

  11. USE OF INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY • none; • for whole-class demonstrations, repetitions, etc; • in a language/video/laboratory mode; • in an individual self-instruction mode; • as a basis for group work (discussion, negotiation, co-operative and competitive games, etc.); • in international computer networking of school, classes and individual students.

  12. TECHNOLOGIESAVAILABLE

  13. CD-ROM/DVD-ROMs Teacher can use them, for example, to • set homework tasks; • supplement the lessons with further language and skills practice; • use authentic video activities in class, or get learners to watch in their own time.

  14. CD-ROM/DVD-ROMs The learners can use it, for example, to: • consolidate their knowledge of language and skills taught in class; • practice and check their pronunciation; • learn and practice essential speaking skills; • create tests on specific language areas, which allows learners to focus on either-grammar-based or vocabulary-based questions or both; • check their progress and get feedback on their level of English and any specific areas of difficulty; • record and listen to themselves speaking in everyday conversations, using the audio materials.

  15. CLASSWARE • book, audio and video together in one disc; • you can display the pages of the course and use the tools to annotate the material and work with the content; • video in full screen, with or without subtitles; • used with interactive whiteboards and portable whiteboard devices or simply with a computer and projector; • it is always updated (updates often available via the Internet).

  16. THE INTERNET RESOURCES • devised specifically for learners; • designed for learners of a foreign language; • all other resources that can be used to learn a foreign language. free of chargepaid

  17. EXAMPLES OF SITES FOR LEARNING IN GENERAL • THE NEW YORK TIMES - The Learning Network • CNN Student News • HUNDREDS OF OTHERS

  18. WEBSITES FOR EFL LEARNING • BBC Learning English • British Council Learn English • Onestopenglish • VOA • Sites dedicated for specific courses, e.g. „CAMPAIGN”

  19. A guide and portal to some of the best freewebsites to study English. http://ut1english.blogspot.com/ Learning English - Guide to Free Online Resources. Compiled & regularly updated by Chris Salmon for the new Toulouse University language resource centre.

  20. Websites not specifically aimed at learners that can be used in teaching and learning EFL • BBC, CNN, FOX NEWS • NPR • TIME MAGAZINE, NEWSWEEK • NATOCHANNEL.TV • You Tube

  21. NETWORKING AND MICROBLOGGING SERVICES • FACEBOOK • TWITTER

  22. INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY IN LANGUAGE TEACHING • no single unified method; • an example of a reasonable use of technology in the classroom; • classroom-based research and observations; • solutions offered by researchers and materials writers/producers

  23. CONCLUSIONS To enhance language learning through technology the following are necessary • further progress in technology-based pedagogy; • confidence of teachers in using technology; • knowledge and experience in using technology-based pedagogy;
