ADAPT TEACHING AND LEARNING APPROACHES AND RESOURCES, INCLUDING TECHNOLOGIES TO MEET THE INDIVIDUAL NEEDS OF LEARNERS. UNIT 2, 5.6
LITERATURE REVIEW
Agreeing with Littlemore and Oakey (2004), we founds that teachers are sometimes overwhelmed by the technology and "do not seriously think about how it might be usefully applied" (Davies, 2009). Indeed, language learning and teaching approach should be pedagogy-driven and learning-based, which is more rigid and emphasises on the needs of learners with the aid of technology resource and tools. Contrarily, technology-driven approach which attempts to formulate a pedagogy based on the cutting edge advantages of a new device, should be abandoned. If a language teaching or learning project is driven by the fashionable technology, it might pose the danger to the learners as well as the teachers disappearing over the horizon of SLA pedagogy.
Number of research reveal that learners dislike reading large amount of text on the screen, such as Wiki, and they often prefer to print out the documents for reading. For instance, Boulton's (2005) paper indicated that less than 20% of his students are happy with on screen reading. Anderson (2003) reports that metacognitive online reading strategies plays important role in online L2 reading.
Despite of input issue, barrier of producing written output using ICT tools has also been noticed. Mishan (2004) points out that it might sometimes be challenging for learners to compose on screen. The
However, when given an article to read off of a computer screen, 21% of people read the text roow by row and word by word, and 79% of scanned the page. Of those 79%, only 3% could name specific facts written in the online article. However, of the 21% that thoroughly read the article, 19% could name those specific facts - and all test subjects were given the same series of questions following their reading. This suggests that the style of reading is different when the medium of the reading is
“Literacy debate, Online, R U Really Reading? ”by Motoko Rich argues that the online reading skill will change the brain’s circuity, give you the main point you need to read, and help the student learning in better way. Rich using comparing and contrasting between reading online and reading of books. Rich tells us that more people would reading online instead reading in book because “you have to go through a lot of details that aren’t need in the book, but online reading give you what you need, nothing more or less.” He also describes that “online reading help children fare better when they begin looking for digital-age jobs.” Which it helps them to success in the future. Rich also argued that some student using computer at home, they would

As a 21st century language educators, teachers should realize the real situation now where the learners have been exposed more to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and most of them are the digital native users. The teaching traditional method such as giving a lecture and asking to do homework afterwards are actually not really practical for the current use. Lesson should be authentic learning which the learners can relate the knowledge to the real life. Realia teaching aids which could be visualized by the learners have to be utilized in the learning process. It is basically on how the way of the 21st century educators educate their learners’ need that meets the expectation of the development in educational technology.
Currently, educators are faced with the controversy of reaching all learners. It is the incumbency of educators to master differentiating instruction to create a possibility for all learners to grow. Technology is a great resource to keep students engaged and motivated. It prepares them for their future, yet reaches the diversity of learning styles.
One characteristic of American culture trough out the years, has been its affinity for diverse weaponry, particularly guns. However, many do not realize that America’s relationship with guns is engraved into the very frames upon which the country was established. In the eightieth century, as a means for hunting and self-conservation during the American Revolutionary War and the American Indian War, it was established with the enactment of the American Constitution that “A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed”, also known as the Second Amendment. (Constitution)
Death penalty is also known as capital punishment or execution. Societies from all over the world have used this sentence at one point in history, in order to avenge criminals. Most common reasons for being sentenced to death were war crimes, war treason, murder and espionage. Back then, the capital punishment was almost always accompanied by torture, and executions were public. The most used execution method was by hanging. If an inmate chooses the electric chair it takes anywhere between 2 min and 15 minutes. The criminal receives a jolt between 500 and 2000 volts for every 30 seconds, attending doctor waits for body to cool after each bolt and check if the heart is still breathing. While in some societies, violent death penalties are still being employed – like shooting, hanging, electric chair and gas chamber – in most countries, these have been replaced with a painless method – the lethal injection. When the person is put to death for the death penalty they use a lethal injection execution, in most cases. Sodium thipal makes the person go deeply unconscious but unable to feel himself being paralyzed from the “pancuronium bromide”. On death row an inmate waited an average of 15 years between sentencing and execution but a quarter of inmates die on death row from natural cases. The time has come to make punishment fit the crime, too oppose lethal injection, but not because these untried new drugs might obituary cause pain, but cause confusion, lethal injection conflates
I think that Brett is the more dominant personality in their relationship since she comes from a wealthy background and doesn't have to get with anyone in order to live. In comparison, Frances is a dominant personality in terms of giving direction to an aimless Cohn, however he has the money and so she has to give in to his wishes. Money talks. I agree that Jake has a more pragmatic view of the world because of his war experience, compared to Cohn's romantic fantasy view. This is probably why they seem to be drawn to each other; opposites attract.
Not So Fast,” Andrea Lunsford argues that rather than leading to a new illiteracy, the digital technologies in the modern world help students to develop their ability of writing. Not only that students are daferrors than 25 years ago, actually with less spelling errors. In order to help students with the challenges, the teacher should offer solid instructions and encouragement rather than derision.
Technology is a helpful tool for teaching the writing process, and Marchisan and Alber (2001) concluded that writers can be taught to write using the writing process approach paired with tools of technology, direct instruction, and committed well-trained teachers. Graham, (2008), Graham & and Perin (2007a), and Rogers & and Graham, (2008), agreed that technology makes the process of writing easier and often provides very specific types of support. Word processing provides at least four advantages: (a) revisions are easily made, (b) publishing is professional-looking, (c) typing provides an easier means for children with fine motor skill challenges to produce text, and (d) word-processing programs have software programs, such as spell and stylistic checkers designed to reduce specific types of miscues. Other tools are speech synthesis (i.e., the writer’s spoken words are transcribed to electronic text) and word-prediction programs (i.e., the computer program reduces the key strokes by predicting the writer’s next word). This is helpful for students with difficulties with spelling and the mechanics of writing. In addition, outlining and semantic mapping software can aide with the planning process, and the use of computer networks and the Internet can help to promote communication and collaboration among writers.
In Lavin, Korte, Davies). The result of the study further pushes the notion of how important it is for school staff to understand the given technology so they can distribute the information effectively to their students. All the technology in the world will be ineffective if the teachers themselves are not passionate of their work. “Technology has the potential to transform the learning environment from passive to active and more subject to the control of the learner.” (qtd. In Lavin, Korte, Davies).
It is crucial that students are not just being educated in only one way. Each child is different; as a result, learning styles should be versatile and open to new strategies. By learning to use technology correctly, teachers are preparing themselves, and the students for the future by developing certain skills that will be essential in the 21st century. Besides developing the students’ technology skills, students will
There is much in the literature regarding the use of technology in education. According to Dede (2009), Banister (2010), Peled and Schocken (2014), my topic can be characterized as technology in education is an effective tool for motivating student engagement, increasing academic success, and providing new environments for students to learn. Thus, the more technology that is incorporated in a students’ earlier grades, the more inclined they will be to prefer that type of instruction in their latter years. It is an important topic with respect to education because the wave of new technology is increasing at rate never before seen in the field of education. These articles track the study of technology use in the field, and how they are beneficial for my study of technology in education. All of the articles support the idea of the use of technology in education, and each represent a different aspect in which technology can improve a child’s education.
Technology not only affects students, but also teachers. Resources such as voice mail, email, and the World Wide Web all aid teachers in informing parents of upcoming events, responding to students and their questions, and searching for information. There are also technology tools
The use of technology has the ability to allow teachers to teach the student, instead of teaching the grade level. Jon Bower, CEO of Lexia Learning Systems, points this fact out when he states,
