The article for this week about twenty ideas for using
mobile phones in the language classroom is one of the best I have read on this
course. Something that caught my attention about the article was the amazing
ideas for use mobile devices (phones, tablets, iPad) for teaching language, as teachers
this is very good idea, with use f mobile dev ices students can practice what
have teacher in class at anywhere, because is easier and faster for students to
use mobile devices.
Nowadays is more common the use of mobile devices to
everything, most of the people is familiar to mobile devices because they use
them in their daily life and if as teachers we take advantage of this
technology and assigned activities for they to practice the language learning
will be easy get them involved in the language. Teachers can assign tasks to
students for writing, listening, speaking, and reading practice, I really like
the idea of using mobile devices as a tool for teaching language, because the
four skills can be assigned over a mobile device task.
Something that would like to remember about the article
is of course that there are also some disadvantages with the use of mobile devices
for teaching language, one of the most important thig is that teachers may consider
the access to mobile devices or wireless that students may have. May exist the possibility
that not all students have access to a phone, tablet, IPad or may be yes but
they have not totally access to wireless connection, this could be a problem if
teachers do not take this into consideration, teacher cannot assign an activity
if the students have not access to do it, the purpose is that all the students can
have access to make easier the learning process.
Techers needs to analyzed the advantages and disadvantages
of using mobile devices for teaching and this is something that we can read about
the article and take the best of it.
Hello Kenia, consider that your opinion about the use of cell phones in the teaching field is a good resource t learners because they are familiar with this tool. This tool facilitates learners to get involve with the language. I consider that assign learners this kind of activities help them to be encourage I the learning process, and to continue practicing their English outside the classroom which is a real benefit to them and teachers. Moreover, as you mentioned in your entry teachers could work the different skills like writing, reading, speaking,grammar by asking students to work in a specific activity to develop and improve them. By the other hand, students who do not have cell phones could work with the others who have it or teacher can implement activities in which they could be integrate. Well, I really like this reading of the week as you too.
