use of media in language teaching

The Use of the Media in English Language Teaching This 1979 issue of ELT Documents focuses on uses of radio and television in language learning. Mostly drawing on the BBC’s experience as a world broadcaster, the chapters address issues such as: the integration of elements in multimedia language learning systems; the history of BBC English by radio and television; television materials for ELT; the English-teaching radio script; levels of local exploitation; and uses of English by radio programmes in the classroom. The volume ends with an interesting overview of the British ELT scene in late 1978 by GD Pickett, which is unrelated to the other contents, and which takes in dictionary publishing, developments in linguistics, teaching methodology, the demands of teaching in Britain and overseas, and teacher training.

A seminar may be defined as a gathering of people for the purpose of discussing a stated topic. Such gatherings are usually interactive sessions where the participants engage in discussions about the delineated topic.

Every practicum experience is guided by three participants: (1) the Student Teacher, (2) the Cooperating Teacher, and (3) the College/University Supervisor. What happens in the classroom and how it is interpreted will depend on the views of each member of the triad. It is important to negotiate common expectations for roles and responsibilities. If expectations are clear and understood by each member, the experience is more likely to be satisfactory for all. Student Teachers should take ownership of their own learning and at the same time receive consistent feedback and daily mentoring from their Cooperating Teachers at the school. While the Cooperating Teachers’ role is primarily mentoring, they are also required to provide the Student Teachers with formative and summative feedback. In order for Student Teachers to connect the theory they have learned in their teacher education programs to their current teaching practice, they will need active participation by the College/University S

The approaches for teaching can be broadly classified into teacher centered and student centered. In Teacher-Centered Approach to  Learning , Teachers are the main  authority figure in this model. Students are viewed as “empty vessels” whose primary role is to passively receive  information  (via lectures and direct instruction) with an end goal of testing and assessment. It is the primary role of teachers to pass  knowledge  and  information  onto their students. In this model, teaching and assessment are viewed as two separate entities. Student  learning  is measured through objectively scored tests and assessments. [2]  In  Student-Centered Approach to Learning , while teachers are the authority figure in this model, teachers and students play an equally active role in the learning process. The teacher’s primary role is to coach and facilitate student  learning  and overall comprehension of material. Student learning is measured through both formal and informal forms of  assessment
