WEEK 4: THE INTEGRATION OF THE INTERNET INTO ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING

Based on the article "CALL Me … Maybe: A Framework for Integrating the Internet into ELT"

As the article said, the integration of the Internet in the ELT is really important and useful because nowadays these tools offer many benefits and advantages to the students because sometimes facilitates the student's learning because when using the network they can share information and look for it if they do not understand something. Also, social networks play an important role, because as we have a Facebook group to share information and ask questions and clarify some doubts, many teachers are using this method to communicate with their students and at the same time they are learning what is important. Because the main objective to integrate the Internet into the learning process is to guarantee that the students will learnd in an innovate way.

Using the internet students can improve their skills because they can find in the interner many websites where they can study and improve their skills, because in the internet are a lot of websites in English for Academic porpuses the students use web resources to help develop their English skills.

The use of the internet and the social networks for the English Language Teaching (ELT) promove learner autonomy and increase learner motivation and reduce learner anxiety. As a tool, the Internet can be used for a deeper level of student engagement and interactivity by helping stimulate creativity; it can also foster communication and collaboration, because sometimes students are shy and they prefer not to participate in class because they are afraid of making a mistake or answering wrong and their classmates can will laugh of their mistake. for those reason the use of the internet and the social netwoks make them to feel free to participate in forums or debates whichs also help to improve student skills.

In my opinion the integration of the internet in class is a good tool for teach a second language as English, because in internet as a teachers we can find many websites that we can recommend to our students for improve their English skills and learnd more about the language in a interesting and entretaining way.
