slide presentation for TESL Language Camp XV 2014. We will have been given a day slot to handle a workshop on on any topic of choice. Since the theme for this year's language camp is Pushing the Limit, it would be appropriate to have a workshop on technology in the classroom or multimedia or web2.0 app of sort... this is the first draft of the presentation. I'm going to demo and take the students along for a hands on experience on a few of those mentioned software and web2.0 apps.

3. Current status:
a global language of science, technology,
and international relations.
Many countries around the world consider
the teaching of English a major educational
priority (Crystal 1997; McKay 2000).

4. EFL is often taught under unfavorable
conditions
Result: high school graduates are not always
competent users of English.

5. ~ Take advantage of the continuing
advances in multimedia technology.
~ Make an effort to integrate technology
with in-class instruction.
~ Can help with some difficulties identified
with the EFL situation, i.e. large class sizes
and mixed-ability classrooms etc.

6. ~ Better results have been achieved in
training students to be autonomous
learners where multimedia technology has
been used in instruction.
~ Growing number of schools with facilities
for students to access computers and
audiovisual equipment.

7. ESL instruction often does not accomplish
its objective and leaves students without an
adequate level of proficiency in English. –
rural schools/students.
A major issue is the environment itself:
~ An overall lack of English speakers for
students to interact with.~

8. ~ Technology changes very quickly.
~ Demand TESL teachers to master
technology as well as mastering English as a
global language,
~ The use of technological device is now an
important factor in teaching and learning
English.

9. ~ Technological equipment is categorized as
technical media for language teaching and
learning. – instructional technology.
~ Technical media can present the outside
world in all its complexities into the
classroom (Brinton, 2001)

10. should master
the use of technical media
> To enhance the process of teaching and
learning English,
> To stimulate learners’ interest in learning
English
> To familiarize learners in using technical
media to support their process of learning
English autonomously.

11. 1. Who has a laptop /desktop /tab? (iPad)
2. Who use window?
3. Who has a smart phone?
4. Who has Facebook account?
5. Who subscribe to mobile data? Strymx? Etc.

12. 1. Almost everyone owns a desktop/laptop. Inexpensive
computers are now available to support the teaching and
learning process (Sokolik, 2001)
> 90% are Microsoft Windows users.
Free software that comes with Microsoft Windows: MS
Office, Internet Explorer, MS Paint, Publisher,
MS Live Movie Maker, Windows Live Messenger, MS Sky
Drive, Windows Live Writer, MS Family Safety

13. 2. Mobile phone is easy to use, owned by all learners, and
easy to operate - most learners have it -audio/video
recorder and browser feature.
The use of mobile phone can be vary, started from creating
a video as a project-based task (Modjanggo & Tungka,
2011), recording learners’ pronunciation, recording oral
presentation, accessing monolingual dictionary provided
as feature to build vocabulary understanding, browsing
internet to help learners find something useful for their
assignment, or sending email as their assignments (Şad,
2008).

14. 3. Almost all learners have Facebook - create fun and
enjoyable learning session via Facebook to monitor
learners’ development in using target language
Create a page specifically designed for our class to discuss
today’s material outside class time.
Not to directly discuss learners’ grammar mistakes but let
them express what they have in mind related to today’s
post, while at the same time give them opportunity to
improve their self-confidence in using target language.

15. Should not avoid the use of technical media in classroom.
Prepare our learners to compete - mastering English &
the use of technology. -*stakeholders!
To avoid the trap of teaching technology rather than
teaching English, we should pay attention to our learning
objectives and to the language use of learners rather than
how they appropriately or inappropriately use technical
media in doing assignment.

16. Familiarize ourselves with the use of technical media in
classroom
Provide a model of using technology as educational tool
Expose ourselves and our learners to the use of
technology equipment to support our teaching and
learning process
Prepare our EFL learners to compete in the information
and technology era.
