A Study on Integrating Technology in Material Development and Task Design

Abstract

Teaching-Learning process involves five essential components namely student, teacher, teaching material, teaching methodology and the assessment process. Among them, ‘student’ plays the pivotal role since the entire process revolves around a set of learning objectives for the benefit of the student and the other components work towards the student’s attainment of the stipulated objectives at the end of the process. Hence, the teaching material is expected to be predominantly a student –oriented one, catering to the requirements of the student. Today’s educational scenario has been witnessing a massive transformation due to the multifarious facets of the modern Gen Y students who are the Children of Technology. Teaching materials designed using technology prove to be effective in attention grabbing, sustenance of interest, interactivity, reinforcement with involvement of all senses etc.Since English Language is acclaimed to be the best communicative language worldwide, English Language Teaching primarily aims to develop the communicative skills of the students by inculcating the four basic skills – Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing which are indispensable for efficient communication. The present article proposes to study how these language skills can be capsuled into techno-form to facilitate effective Teaching-Learning process.
