Teaching vocabulary through technology
This week i had the opportunity to read two articles about
how technology helps to teach vocabulary. As Tozco and Coady observe, teaching
vocabulary can improve to understand the deep meaning of a topic (pag.1).It
means that it can help pupils to motivate them to speak, to create a context
with which their speech will have meaning.
The use of technology to teach vocabulary helps to clarify
or highlight these following things that deserve special emphasis. Firstly, the
different teaching tools .Teacher could apply those tools such as, electronic
dictionaries and vocabulary-building software in class to develop students' abilities,
attitudes and oral ability.
Secondly, reading classes are a good way to introduce
vocabulary in the lesson because this may help to hold attention of students.
Also, if educator incorporates the vocabulary by using multimedia this can be
powerful tool to enhance the impact of the class.
Thirdly, instructors have to
know how to select appropriate software to his or her class, and adapt the necessities
to each student. Finally, teachers have to keep up with all of technology
advances and different methodologies that have to follow by using visual aids
to make the teaching process more effective.
To sum up, something I want to remember from this article is
teaching vocabulary through technology is an excellent way to improve the
education process. If educators are aware that teaching vocabulary plays an
important role in the learning process because it can be helpful, interactive
and interesting.
