Lesson 2

ICT-Pedagogy in Language
Learning Plans

Teaching has always been a challenging profession since knowledge has been
expanding
and essential skills have been increasing and changing. With these challenges,
teachers need to engage educational technologies to assist them in the teaching-
learning process. Engaging educational technologies to assist them in the teaching-
learning process. Engaging educational technologies to allow your students to
demonstrate the intended learning outcomes of your field of specialization.
Integrating Technology in Instruction
Various educators and researchers provided the following concepts and principles
about
integrating technology in instruction:
1. John Pisapia (1994) Integrating technology with teaching means the use of
learning technologies to introduce, reinforce, supplement and extend skills. For
example, if a teacher merely tells a student to read a book without any preparation for
follow up activities that put the book in a pedagogical context, the book is not
integrated.
On the other hand, integrating technology into curricula can mean different thing: 1)
computer science courses, computer-assisted instruction, and/or computer-enhanced
or enriched instruction, 2) matching software with basic skills competencies, and 3)
keyboarding with word processing followed up with presentation tools.
2. International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE)
Effective integration of technology is achieved when students are able to select
technology tools to help them obtain information in a timely manner, analyze and
synthesize the information, and present it professionally. The technology should
become an integral part of how the classroom function- as accessible as all other
classroom tools.
3. Margaret Lloyd (2005)
ICT integration encompasses an integral part of broader curriculum reforms which
include both infra-structural as well as pedagogical considerations that are changing
not only how learning occurs but what is learned.
4. Qiyun Wang Huay Lit Woo (2007)
Integrating Information and Communication (ICT) into teaching and learning is a
growing area that has attracted many educators’ effort in recent years. Based on the
scope of content covered, ICT integration can happen in three different areas:
curriculum, topic, and lesson.
5. Bernard Bahati (2010)
The process of integrating ICT in teaching and learning has to be done at both
pedagogical and technological levels with much emphasis put on pedagogy. ICT
integration into teaching and learning has to be underpinned by sound pedagogical
principles.
5. UNESCO (2005)
ICT integration is not merely mastering the hardware and software skills. Teachers
need
to realize how to organize the classroom to structure the learning tasks so that ICT
resources become automatic and natural response to the requirements for learning
environments in the same way as teachers use markers and whiteboards in the
classroom.
Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
Before you can successfully integrate ICTs in your language instruction, there is a
need
to have a good grasp of what Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is all
about.

Specifically, there is a need also to determine the ICTs that are available for language
education. The following are definitions of ICT from various resources:

1. Moursund (2005)
ICT includes all the full range of computer hardware, computer software, and
telecommunication facilities. Thus, it includes computer devices ranging from
handheld
calculators to multimillion worth supercomputers. It includes the full range of display
and [projections devices used to view computer output. It includes local area networks
and wide area network that will allow computer system in people to communicate with
each other. It includes digital cameras, computer games, CDs, DVDs, cell telephones,
telecommunication satellites, and fiber optics, it includes computerized machinery and
computerized robots.
2. Tinio (2009)
ICT is a diverse set of technological tools and resources used to communicate, create,
disseminate, store, and manage information. These technologies include hardware
devices, software applications, internet connectivity, broadcasting technologies, and
telephony.
3. UNESCO (2020)
It (ICT) is a diverse set of technological tools and resources used to transmit, store,
create, share or exchange information. These technological tools and resources include
computers, the internet, live broadcasting technologies, recorded broadcasting
technologies.
And telephony. UNESCO defines it also as a scientific, technological, and engineering
discipline and management technique used. ICT also refers to handling information,
its application, and association with social, economic, and cultural matters.
4. Ratheeswari (2018)
Information Communication Technologies (ICT) influence every aspect of human life.
They paly salient roles in workplaces, in business, education, and entertainment.
Moreover, many people recognize ICTs as a catalyst for change that include change in
working conditions, handling and exchanging information, teaching methods, learning
approaches, scientific research and in accessing information communication
technologies. In this digital era, ICT is important in the classroom for giving the
student opportunities to learn and apply the required 21st Century skills. ICT
improves teaching and learning and helps teacher perform their role as creators of
pedagogical environments. ICT helps a teacher to present his/her teaching attractively
and enables learners to learn at any level of an educational program.
Using ICT Integration Framework in Language Education Learning Plans

There are a lot of concepts provided by experts relevant to integrating technology in


instruction apart from the above citations. These concepts are very helpful to clarify
lingering issues on how technologies are properly integrated in the teaching-learning
process. It must be noted that there are possible instances when technologies are used
in the classroom but the way these are used does not promote learning and does not
help facilitate the attainment of the intended learning outcomes set for a class. There
is a need, therefore, to enlighten you in the principles on how technologies contribute
to the facilitation of the teaching-learning process. For this purpose, the following
framework may serve as a guide in integrating ICTs in developing learning plans or
lesson plans in the different subjects particularly in developing learning plans or
lesson plans in language education.

A. Conversational Framework of Laurillard (2002)

The teaching-learning process poses very complex tasks to allow learners to


understand their lesson and master the skills they are expected to demonstrate. Thus,
it will be reassuring if teachers will explore on engaging various media to support
various learning activities in classrooms. This is how the Conversational Framework
may support. The framework postulates a way of presenting teaching and learning in
terms of events. These are the five (5) key teaching and learning events in the
framework which are identified as:

a. acquisition;

b. discovery;

c. dialogue;

d. practice; and

e. creation.
ACTIVITY 1.2

Vis-à-vis the five events are specific teaching strategies, learning actions or
experiences, related media form, examples of non-computer based activity, and
examples of computerbased activity. Based on your understanding, complete the table
that shows the 5 key teaching and learning events.
Submission will be on google classroom provided by your Professor.
