Hello everybody
I believe a teacher can use technology in preparing lesson plans. Using computer and the Internet, a teacher can write down/type a lesson plan.Using PPT or other Programs he/She can do the warm up, present the new ideas of the lessons, review, wrap up, assign homework...etc At each stage a teacher can attach a text, images, audio clips and even video-clips.With the help of computer and the internet, a teacher has endless sources of seen and heard materials, web-pages, exercises, methods of teaching and tools of assessment.The target audience,Students,are part of the learning/teaching situation all the time.Using the computer and the internet,Students can listen, speak, read, write, search, design, prepare, criticize, suggest, be tested ...etc
I read an article on the website:
http://www.englishclub.com/esl-articles/200204.htm
It tackles these points:
1-Listening: A good way to learn English
2- What is listening an answer to?
3- Why is listening good?
4- How can we listen to English?
This article gives BBC and VOA as model radio station broadcast all over the world to improve listening.
It gives a web-page with links to Radio/TV Station on the internet:

I think it has been wonderful task with wonderful experience and nice results.
Best Wishes

Hi ahmed,
ReplyDeleteI've just read your blog and I entered the websites you mentioned. INTERESTING.
There are many ways to improve our students listening skills. Try http://www.esl-lab.com/
and tell me bout it.
The bbc and Cnn are also good sources to mske your students listen to real English.
I am looking for more new sources not to stay in the routine of always giving my students the references and I'll revert with new sources.
See you soon

Dear Raphael
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link you recommended: http://www.esl-lab.com/. I visited it. I think it's very great, varied and it has links for other web-pages a learner/teacher may learn. However, it has some annoying ads.
All the best
Ahmed Khattab
