- 3. What is ICT?
- 4. Introduction to ICT ICT specifically refers to computer-based technologies such as desktops, laptops, tablets, smartphones, and software and internet-based technologies including email, websites, and social networking sites for the purpose of English teaching and learning (Davies & Hewer, 2009). ICT can be defined as “anything which allows us to get information, to communicate with each other, or to have an effect on the environment using electronic or digital equipment” (Siraj-Blatchford, 2003) ICT covers two aspects: information technology and communication technology. Information technology includes all things related to the process, use as a tool, manipulation, and information processing. While communication technology is anything to do with the use of tools to process and transfer data from one device to another. (Sutopo, 2012)
- 5. History of ICT Since the 1950s four generation of computer have evolved The term Information Technology evolved in the 1970s In 1975 the Massachusetts Institute of technology developed microcomputer 1977 The apple micro computer was introduced In the fall of 1981, IBM introduced the first Personal computer Computer today are divided into four categories by size, cost and processing ability. They are super computer, mainframe, minicomputer and microcomputer, more commonly known as a personal computer.
- 7. Brian (2000) as cited in Gur (2014) states that ICT has been used world-wide to help people such as in business, trade, marketing, science, education and others. Now, ICT is currently being used in education to assist students to learn more effectively and help teachers to do administrative tasks more efficiently (Neil Selwyn, 2003).
- 8. COMPONENTS OF ICT The term information and communication technology (ICT) is generally accepted to mean all technologies that, combined, allow people and organization to interact in the digital work Source:
- 9. There are a variety of ICT applications in English learning. Collis and Moonen (2001) categorized the applications of ICT into three groups, namely “LEARNING RESOURCES” This is including educational software, online resources, and video resources “INSTRUCTIONAL ORGANIZATION OF LEARNING” Software and technology tools for lecturing in the classroom, the course management system like Moodle, and the computer-based testing system like HotPotatoes “COMMUNICATION” Email systems, and websites offering communication options.
- 13. The average time an Indonesian spends on social media a day is 3 hours and 16 minutes. Facebook, with 1.871 billion active users a month is the leading social platform with active users, followed by Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp. According to the report, Indonesia is the fastest growing country in relation to the number of internet users today compared to 2016. Indonesia is almost 3 times over the global average with a 51% growth year-on-year. Source: We Are Social and Hootsuite
- 15. What are the advantages of ICT in Language teaching and learning? Why use technology with language learners?
- 16. Advantages of ICT in Language Learning ICT is found to be advantageous in several ways as mentioned by Herington (2002) in Abilasha & Ilankumaran (2014) : Technology facilitates exposure to authentic language; Technology provides the access to wider sources of information and varieties of language Technology gives the opportunity to people to communicate with the world outside Technology allows a learner – centered approach Technology develops learner’s autonomy. ICT help people in order to get information and to communicate each other in wider range
- 17. Potential of ICT In addition, for some time now, considerable claims have been made about the potential contribution of ICT to pupils’ learning by policy makers, researchers and some teachers. Angela McFarlane (2001) as cited in Leask and Pachler (2005), reflecting on researcher on the impact of ICT carried our prior to the most recent ImpaCT2 studies, identifies some generic traits and specific educational benefits of ICT such as: ICT has the potential to become communication tools, such as emails, chat groups, discussion groups, pals’ clubs and others to conduct activities which require collaboration (Krajka 2002).
- 18. Information handling skill; Critical Thinking; Ability to organize and classify information; Improved Reading and Comprehension Learner autonomy, leading to improved motivation and improved learning; Transformed power relationships in learning, leading to benefits for the learner Learner enthusiasm; Learner confidence Cognitive Processing Speed; Concentration; Range of writing forms used; Quality of Revision to writing; Spelling, and presentation in writing; Speed of learning;
- 19. Effective use of ICT requires teachers to act differently (Bell, 2001). The more teachers understand the possibilities of ICT use in and outside the classroom, the more their teaching practice is required to evolve (UNESCO, 2005).
- 20. The implementation of ICT in Language Learning (Best Practice) In context of language learning, ICT has an important role as the “media” bridging and enabling the learning process, or direct communication between students and teacher although they are not present in the same room or place in certain time. Language learning program can be created to enable students to learn the lessons with guidance, instruction, information or further explanation. ICT in language learning used as a reference-book. Computer can store unlimited lessons or references, which can be accessed anytime, anywhere and accurately.
- 21. Coursera courses last approximately four to ten weeks, with one to two hours of video lectures a week. These courses provide quizzes, weekly exercises, peer- graded assignments, and sometimes a final project or exam. Courses are also provided on-demand, in which case users can take their time in completing the course with all of the material available at once. As of May 2015 Coursera offered 104 on-demand courses. Courses cost between $29 and $99 Best Practice of ICT in Language Learning
- 23. The use of ICT in language learning not only involves pedagogical changes for teachers but also involves environmental and pedagogical changes for learners who are traditionally used to face-to- face teaching in classrooms. Although an increasing number of learners have access to online technologies and use ICT for personal interactions, they find it challenging to use ICT in an educational context
- 24. The drawbacks of ICT in Language Preparation Time Plagiarism New Administrative Responsibilities Student Privacy Low Income Groups
- 25. Prerequisites for successful integration of ICT According to UNESCO, the use of technology in the language classroom occurs successfully when; • There is a real reason for using it • Alternative activities are to hand, if problems arise • Training and support is given to students • Use of technology is integrated and ongoing • The activities are stimulating and worthwhile to the learners • Communication is taking place between learners • Learners are asked to use the language in meaningful ways
