Something important that I learned for this article was the fostering of awareness through of the integration of ITC in a study during one academic semester English language students. I found two important interesting things of this study.
First, the developing of metacognitive processes is a base of behavior and attitudes that evidence in the students the process of autonomy. Metacognition allows students to be aware of their own process in the learning .When they are aware about their own learning, they state separately from others, and become autonomous learners, in this sense, the sing of autonomy becomes when learners analyze their own process and attach their own goals learning, achieving high language proficiency.
Second, the independent activities and the use of ICT in language learning allow a positive impact in the student’s work. It allows learners the develop of linguistic competences , in this case, CALL allows learners to explore large number of resources available for them on the internet and multiple of possibilities of using web tools according their learning styles and preferences indicating the skill or area of focus , according to the necessity of learners .
Finally, a possible method we could apply in English class is the implementation of platform virtual in which students can interact to each other, using their target language in the areas: speaking, writing, listening, and reading, allowing them to be more independent and autonomous. I would like to remember is teachers should engage student’s through different activities using ICT, and promote self evaluation, self correction and self monitoring to help them to acquire the knowledge by themselves.
Hi Sussy,
ReplyDeletecompletely agree with the fact that teachers should encourage students to create a self-monitoring of their learning process. However, I think that somehow we need to consider that all humans need socialization and especially if you are learning another language because, if you really think about how practicing at home would tremendously differ from speaking with someone else in real life environment.
Anyhow, I do believe that it is all about having a balance of ICT's and the typical school learning process.
Thanks Vinicio, you are rithg.Teachers should encourage students to create a self-monitoring. Besides,the socialization play a significant rol un language learning because it allows students interact on line with others.Briefly, is relevant to use ICT's in the learning procesos
DeleteHi Susana!
ReplyDeleteI like that you emphasize that the role of the teacher in the metacognitive process is to engage to their students to develop autonomy in terms of learning. The big challenge for this is "how to do it". However it is evident that there are a huge advance since CALL started. It is important to recognize that we as teacher must to be the firsts to be engaged to learn through technology and then we can motivate to our students to do it. In that sense, Do you think that this generation (2000 to 2030) will achieve that goal of being autonomous and engaged to learn through Technology? Under what conditions do you think it can be possible?
