Technology and the English Classroom

Technology classes and English classes deny the power of technology in the English class and deprive students from a rich and revolutionary experience. Unfortunately, many English teachers feel that it is difficult to confront the understanding behind this analogy. Members of this out-of-date group believe that technology builds an anthology with their beloved novels, throws away copies of their myriad Langston Hughes poetry, even even closing school libraries .

Many of the specific techniques integrated into English classrooms, such as publishing programs for creating brochures, word processing software for entering articles, are used to create specific products (Kamil, Intrator, & Kim , 2000; Leu, 2000). Although there are several techniques that ELA can use compared to other fields, content-specific technologies in other fields are usually more accessible and more interactive (that is, mathematical virtual operations, social studies Virtual museum in. And simulation in science; Alessi & Trollip, 2001). Educational software exists to support and develop specific literacy skills such as grammar and spelling, but because the time and pace of the instructional module takes quite a bit of time, these specific techniques are not necessarily realistic There is not (Alessi & Trollip, 2001; Merkley et al., 2001)

In this article, two qualitative studies to examine the teaching method for the English teacher to support the student's learning, the framework to understand the use of the technology in the ELA classroom, and the use of the teaching method I will explain the technique. Discussed the topic of research on the role of ELA teachers, the use of teaching methods of ELA, and the tasks and advantages of technical use in the classroom of ELA. The technology-rich ELA classroom supports student-centered constructive learning environments. This brings benefits to the students of the junior high school English class. Technology has the ability to support students' participation in advanced thought skills, motivation and constructive use
