Setting new benchmarks for teacher education is no mean task.
This is so in the instance of Project WRITE (Writing Resources
for Innovative Teacher Education) which we initiated on August
4, 2006 that led to the production and publication of textbooks and
workbooks.
It was a yeoman's task to gather our colleagues from Luzon,
Visayas and Mindanao and motivated them to get involved in a
textbook writing process. The best happened such that we were able
to form a prolific partnership as proven by this WRITE publication.
Technology for Teaching and Learning II is aligned with the
Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST), the standards
of quality teaching in the Philippines. The PPST consist of seven (7)
domains and thirty seven (37) strands and 148 performance indicators
of good teaching. The PPST are focused on the development of the
21 1 Century teacher who can respond to the demands; of the K to
12 Basic Education Curriculum which the Department of Education
began implementing in SY 2012-2013. This textbook is also aligned
with the Program Outcomes common to all teacher education
programs as contained in CMO No. 74-80 and No. 82, s. 2017 and
with the current trends in education such as constructivist, integrative,
interactive, collaborative, inquiry-based, brain-based, research-based and
reflective teaching-learning.
We gratefully acknowledge the authors, Dr. Felina P. Espique and
Dr. Shirley L. Ayao-ao, for sharing their expertise.
This Proj ect7 WRITE publication is one of the latest editions of
the more than 60 publications that are in active circulation throughout
the country. We look forward to more publications that will help
improve teacher performance by enhancing both the pre-service and
in-service phases of teacher education.
Onward to Project WRITE!

PREFACE
"We need technology in every classroom and in every student in
teacher's hand, because it is the pen and paper of our time, and it is the
lens through which we experience much of our world."
- David Warlick

The knowledge and skills in using educational technologies are a fundamental


requirement that every facilitator of learning should master. In the educational
setting today, educational technologies are major tools, which all teachers and
students, must be armed with. As curriculum develops, educational technologies
also advance. Educational technology and curriculum go together. As curriculum
developers review and enhance curricular programs, schools need to update their
technological resources.
This resource book on Technology for Teaching and Learning 2 in module
form is designed to help the facilitator of the course and the pre-service teachers to
demonstrate all the intended learning outcomes of the three-unit course as per CMO
74 and 75 of the 2017 New Teacher Education Curricula.
Technology for Teaching and Learning 2 is a required course for all the degree
programs in teacher education. The contents of this resource book covers the course
description for the BEED and BSED and BPED Program as provided by the CMO
which read as follows:
• • BEED - This course is designed for prospective teachers to develop and
use digital and non-digital teaching-learning resources using technology
tools appropriate in various subject areas in the elementary level. Further,
the course will provide opportunities for students to use technology tools
to develop project-based collaborative activities and share resources
among communities of practice.
• BSED - TTL 2 is a three-unit course that focuses on the application,
design, production, utilization, and evaluation of Information and
Communication Technology for Teaching and Learning in the Secondary
Language Education, Mathematics, Science, Values Education, and
Social Studies Programs. The major requirement of this course is an
ICT-Irhegrated and Project-based Learning Plan aligned to the K to 12
Curriculum. All the learning activities and course requirements will
revolve around the student-teacher developed Learning Plan.
In the context of the specific field of specialization, the pre-service teachers will
be able to:
1. utilize ICT to promote quality, relevant, and sustainable educational
practices in teaching and learning;" •


iv
2. develop inquiry-based or project-based collaborative plans and activities
using technology tools;
3. use open-ended tools to support the development of the project-based
collaborative activities in subject-specific application;
4. show skills in the positive selection, development, and use of ICT to
facilitate the production of learning resources in various subject areas;
5. evaluate the relevance and appropriateness of ICT tools and resources based
on the learning context; and
6. use technology tools to collaborate and share resources among communities
of practice.

To ensure that the above-cited course learning outcomes will be demonstrated


by the pre-service students at the end of the course, this resource book is divided
into the following:
Module 1: Learning Plans in the Context of the 215t Century - This module aims
to allow the pre-service or would-be teachers to revisit the curriculum of
their field of speQialization through the curriculum guide provided by the
Department of Education (DepEd). This will allow them to be familiar
with the content and performance standards required for every grading
period in every grade level. This will also allow the students to review
existing samples of learning plans in their field of specialization from
reliable resources. The review will focus on how ICT was integrated in
the learning plan to allow the learners to acquire the identified learning
outcomes or learning objectives.
Module 2: Exploring Inquiry-Based and Project-Based Learning Plans -
This aims to introduce the integration of Inquiry and or Project-Based
Learning (PBL) in planning a unit for a specific course. Using the. inputs
taken from reviewing the DepEd Curriculum Guide of their field of
specializatThn, the would-be teachers will identify which unit can be best
taught using Inquiry-Based and or PBL.
Module 3: Using Open-Ended Tools in Facilitating Learning - This module aims
to let the pre-service teachers plan for lessons that can be best presented
using open-ended tools. The students will be tasked to explore available
open-ended tools according to their discipline and plan to help their,
future students to demonstrate the intended, learning outcomes aligned to
identified contents and performance standards.
Module 4: Creating Student Sample Projects - This module will allow the
students to create student sample projects as digital authors, create
scaffolding materials to support learning, create presentations for
project-based outputs, develop assessment tools for the created projects
and materials after the students have accomplished their ICT-based unit
plans.

V
Fa

Module 5: Developing ICT-Based Instructional Materials -. This module aims


to facilitate activities that will enhance the technological, pedagogical,
content, and knowledge (TPACK) of the students in teaching their fields
of discipline. Their TPACK is expected to be translated to appropriate
instructional materials for their unit plans applying the principles of
universal design for learning (UDL).
Module 6: Showcasing the ICT-Pedagogy Integrated Learning Plan Portfolio
In this module, the students will be required to showcase their portfolio
containing the Unit Plan and all the materials developed for the unit.
Triangulated evaluation will be observed in the evaluation of the content
and presentation of the portfolio.

Jearning: Outcomes

At the end of the Module, the students should have:


• discussed the role of technology for teaching and learning in
the light of the K to 12 Curriculum Framework;
• reviewed the K to 12 Curriculum Guide focusing on the
development of 21st Century skills;
• reviewed learning plans from various sources that integrated
ICTs in the teaching learning process;
• planned activities integrating ICTs that would facilitate the
development of 21st Century skills required in the curriculum
guide; and
• brainstormed about digital citizenship and related this to the
development of 21st Century skills among learners.

•nrr1fi
The basic education curriculum of the country was enhanced with
the implementation of the K to 12 Curriculum. The K to 12 Program
covers Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education (sIx years of elementary
education, four years of Junior High School, and two years of Senior High
School [SHS]) to provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills,
develop lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for tertiary education,
middle-level skills development, employment, and entrejreneurship.
The implementation of the K to 12 Curriculum is expected to contribute
to the country's development in yarious forms. It is believed to be necessary
to improve the quality of our education which is critical to our progress as a
nation.
One of the features of the K to 12 curriculum is the requirement to equip
every graduate with the following skills:
• information, media and technology skills;
• learning and innovation skills;
• effective communication skills; and
• life and career skills.
The development of these skills can be done with the aid of technologies
for teaching and learning which is the focus of this course. This course aims
to present activities that will prepare pre-service teachers to integrate ICTs in
the teaching-learn jng processes in the various fields of specialization. It aims
to help pre-service and in-service teachers to expand the boundaries of their
creativity and that of their students beyond the four walls of the classrooms.
It aims to enable teachers to discover the power of computer technologies as
teaching tools for greater learning.

At the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:
• discuss the salient features of the k to 12 Curriculum
requiring ICT-pedagogy integration skills.
• analyze the learning competencies of every year level
according to the field of specialization of the pre-service
teachers.
• review some units in the curriculum guide with focus on the
development of 21st Century skills.

Step 1: Knowing Each Other


At this time, introduce yourself and meet other classmates by
choosing any kind of educational technology to represent your personality
and profile. The information you will get from your classmates from the
activity will be valuable information for you to use as you complete this
module and the succeeding modules.

2 Technology for Teaching and Learning 2


for Language Education - English I Filipino
Introduce yourself to the group using a specific technology thkt was
introduced in TTL I or that you have been using to represent you Explain
why you selected that technology.

Step 2: Recalling Technology for Teaching and Learning Lessons


In a group with 4-5 members, share the learning outcomes you were
able to demonstrate well in TTL 1. Reflect and share why these learning
outcomes were demonstrated well in the class. Moreover, identify the
intended learning outcomes in terms of knowledge and skills in TTL 1
that you were not able to demonstrate in the class. Discuss how you can
help yourself as a class. Demonstrate these to ensure that you can cope
with the requirements of Technology for Teaching and Learning 2.

Step 3: Reflecting. on Technology-based Learning Experiences


Recall how your teachers in your field of specialization used
information and communication technologies to help you understand some
concepts in your lessons.
Identify the specific lesson and learning objectives of your teacher.
Were you able to understand the lesson and demonstrate the learning
objectives with the teacher's integration of ICT? Why?
If you are to enhance the ICT used by your teacher, how will you do
it? Will you use the same ICT or will you modify how it Was integrated?

The implementation of the K to 12 Curriculum of the Department


of Education paved the way for the enhancement of the Teacher Education
Curriculum of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). The salient
features of the K to 12 Curriculum have been thoroughly considered to ensure
that all the courses in the teabher education program will meet the demands
of the 21 1t century classrooms. One of the considerations is the need to
implement the following salient features of the curriculum through integrating
technologies for teaching and learning. The use of technologies is done in the
different levels of learning and in teaching the various fields of specialization.

1. Strengthening Early Childhood Education (Universal


Kindergarten)
With the Universal Kindergarten program of the Department,
every Filipino child is expected to have access to early childhood
education. This access can be facilitated using technological tools that
are readily available to the school for teachers' use.

Module I -Learning Plans in the Context of the 21' Century


Lesson 1-The Kto 12 Cuniculum Framework
3
The use of technology in Kindergarten by various schools is very
evident in teaching the kindergarten pupils the alphabet, numbers,
shapes, and colors through games, songs, and dances in their Mother
Tongue.

2. Making the Curriculum Relevant to Learners (Contextualization


and Enhancement)
Research shows that learners will value a curriculum that
is relevant to their lives Students are often heard saying, "Do I
need to know these to live a meaningful life?" "How will I use
this lesson in the actual workplace?" "What is the relevance of this
to me?" and so on. The answer to the question of relevance is vital
to help the teachers think of some ways by which they will be able
to let their students realize that their daily lessons are of good use
to their personal well-being and to their professional preparation
Sara Bernard (2010) stressed that students need to have a personal
connection to a lesson material that can be done through engaging
them emotionally or through connecting the information with that
which they already know. This she calls "Give It Context, and Make
it Count."
Briggs (2014) shared some few tips for making learning engaging
and personally relevant as cited by Willis, Faeth, and Immordino
-Yang:
• Use suspense and keep it fresh - Drop hints about a new
learning unit before you reveal what it might be leave gaping
pauses in your speech change seating arrangements and put
up new and relevant posters or displays all these can activate
emotional signals and keep student interest piqued
• Make it student-directed - Give students a choice of
assignments on a particular topic, or ask them to design
one of their own. "When students are involved in designing
the lesson, they better understand the goal of the lesson and
become more emotionally invested in and attached to the
learning outcomes."
• Connect it to their lives and to what they already know -
Taking the time to brainstorm about what students already
know and would like to learn about a topic helps them to
create goals. This also helps teachers see the best points of
departure for new ideas Making cross-curricular connections
also helps solidify those neural loops..
• 1 Provide utility value - Utility value provides relevance first by
piquing students and by telling them the content is important

4 Technology for Teaching and Learning 2


for Language Educatino - English I Filipino
to their future goals; it then continues by showing I or
explaining how the content fits into their plans for the future.
This helps students realize the content is not just interesting
but also worth knowing.
• Build relatedness • - Relatedness, on the other hand, answers
the question, "What have these to do with me?" It is an
inherent need students to feel close to the significant people in
their lives, including teachers. Relatedness is seen by many as
having non-academic and academic sides.

To be able to apply the tips recommended by various experts


and to allow students to realize the value of their curriculum,
technological tools can be used. 2t Century learners are expected
to be demonstrating 21st Century competencies such as collaboration,
digital literacy, critical thinking, and problem solving to be able to
thrive in this world (Rich, 2014). Contextualizing the curriculum of
the students for meaningful learning poses challenges in enhancing
teachers' pedagogical skills as well as technological skills.
3. Building Proficiency (Mother-tongue Based Multilingual
Education)
To be able to promote the child's dominant language and to use
it as a language of instruction, maximum use of technological tools
is highly encouraged. Currently, a lot of teachers and schools are
into developing learning materials to be. able to implement the MT13-
MLE program properly especially that there is a dearth of printed
and c-materials in the mother tongue of the students. Mother Tongue
is used in instruction and learning materials of other learning areas.
The learners retain their ethnic identity, culture, heritage and values.
Children learn better and are more active in class and learn a second
language even faster when they are first taught in a language they
understand.
4. Ensuring Integrated and Seamless Learning (Spiral Progression)
Learning basic concepts that lead to a more complex and
sophisticated version of the general concepts entail TPACK:
Technological knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and content
knowledge. Rediscovering concepts previously presnted as students
go up in grade level will be fully supported if all the areas of
specialization will be aided by technologies for teaching and learning.
This will further strengthen retention and will enhance mastery, of
topics and skills as they are revisited and consolidated time and again.
This also allows learners to learn topics and skills appropriate to their
developmental and cognitive skills.

5. Gearing Up for the Future
The K to 12 Curriculum ensures college readiness by aligning the
core and applied courses to the College Readiness Standards (CRS)
and the new General Education (GE) Curriculum. Hence, the K to 12
Curriculum focused on developing appropriate Specialization Subjects
for the Academic, Sports, Arts and Design, and Technical Vocational
Livelihood Tracks All of these specialization subjects have to be
supported by educational technology for better learning
6. Nurturing the Holistically Developed Filipino (College and
Livelihood Readiness, 21 11 Century Skills)
To nurture holistically developed Filipino, every K to 12 graduate
is expected to be ready to go into different paths - higher education,
employment, or entrepreneurship. Every graduate is expected to be
equipped with information, media and technology skills, learning
and innovation skills, effective communication skills, and life and
career skills This may happen with the proper implementation of the
curriculum and with the facilitation by excellent teachers For teachers
to maintain excellent performance, they need full support, one of
which is technological support.

Step 1 Introducing the Technology for Teaching and Learning 2 Course


The Technology for Teaching and Learning 2 Course helps you use
the power of computer technologies in the different fields of specialization
to spark student imagination and ultimately move, motivate, and support
students toward meaningful learning.
Let us assess your prior knowledge on how you can best use computer
technologies to enhance learning, answer this question by writing your

Teachers play a very important role in the facilitation of student learning


by designing, implementing and evaluating the curriculum. In the Philippines,
teachers are expected to actively engage themselves in curriculum design to
ensure that the K to 12 Curriculum will be best delivered to fully realize its
intended learning outcomes.
Teachers make decisions about how they will implement the curriculum
of their specific field of specialization. They decide on how they must
structure the activities of their lessons and manage students' responses and
ideas. Hence, the decision of teachers is very important. It has an impact on
the students' learning. The following are points to consider in identifying and
understanding teachets' roles as curriculum designers:
• Undoubtedly, the most important person in the curriculum
implementation process is the teacher. With their knowledge,
experiences and competencies, teachers are central to any
curriculum development effort. Better teachers support better
learning because they are most knowledgeable about the practice
of teaching and are responsible for introducing the curriculum in
the classroom (Alsubaie, 2016).
• Curriculum is the planned interaction of pupils with instructional
content, materials, resources, and processes for evaluating the
attainment of educational objectives —Jadhav and Patankar (2013).
• Curriculum is content, but when contextualized, it comes alive
for students. The role of teachers in the curriculum process
is to help students develop an engaged relationship with the
content. Active learning increases the focus and retention of
the curriculum, resulting in an exciting learning environment.
Teachers build lessons that include simulations, experiments, case
studies and activities to deliver a curriculum. This interactive
approach intertwines curriculum and practical experiences that
• immerse students in learning. The curriculum process provides an
opportunity for teachers to be creative and put their unique stamp
on the classroom experience (Meier, 2018).
• Teachers, on their part, have practical knowledge based on their
daily work with students. This knowledge is useful to curriculum
committees because teachers can assess whether the ideas being
developed will work in the classroom (Young, 1988).

Step 1: Considering my Role as Curriculum Designer


With the points of reference provided about curriculum and the teacher,
participate in a face-to-face discussion with the whole group about how your

8 Technology for Teaching and Learning 2


for Language Education - English I Filipino
field of specialization (Ex. Physical Education, English, Filipino, Social
Studies, Mathematics, Science and so on) was designed In the' discussion,
you are asked to thoughtfully consider your role as a curriculum designer.
Go over the Curriculum Guide and discuss together the essential features,
focus, and the general content and performance standards of your field of
specialization or major per grade or level.

Step 2: Integrating Technologies for Teaching and Learning


After having an in-depth understanding of the general nature, focus, and
non-negotiable standards set for your field of specializatiofl, share with the
group some technological resources and tools that can help you deliver you
lesson to raise at a high level of excellence.
Brainstorm on how these technologies can be integrated properly and
how they will meet the important learning outcomes and the 2 t Century
skills. Share the results of your group discussion in the class.

Answer the following:


1 How will technological tools for teaching and learning promote the
salient features of the K to 12 Curriculum'

At the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:


• discuss essential points to consider when integrating any
ICT in facilitating language education;
• present learning plans that integrate ICT in the learning
procedures to be able to attain the learning outcomes; and
• plan for some activities that will help develop digital
citizenship and relate this to the development of 21St

STEP 1: Recalling ICT-integrated Activities Experienced


Ponder on your background, educational experiences, and prior
knowledge and skills on how information, communication, and
technologies (ICTs) were successfully used by your teachers, in the
lower level. Recall the ICT tools that were used by your teachers in
your language class, Filipino or English, and describe how these were
used to help you understand your lessons. Get a paper to scribble your
recollections. Write at least five lessons vis-à-vis the ICT tools and a short
description of how these were used.

STEP 2: Sharing of the ICT-Pedagogy Experiences


With three (3) members in your group, each of you will share his/her
scribbled experiences. To facilitate the group sharing, assign a facilitator,
a recorder, and a reporter.

STEP 3: Reporting
To allow everybody in the class to learn from the small group
sharing, assign a reporter from your small group to share the gist of your
small group sharing with the whole class.

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 in
teaching are founded on principles and philosophies. Understanding these
will help you successfully integrate 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. In the same way, if the teacher
uses the computer to reward children by allowing them to play a
game, the computer is not integrated.
On the other hand, integrating technology into curricula can
mean different things: 1) computer science courses, computer-assisted
instruction, and/or computer-enhanced or enriched instruction, 2)
matching software with basic skill 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 achiçved when students are
able to select technology tools to help them obtain information in a
timely mannei analyze and synthesize the information, and present it
professionally. The technology should become an integral part of how
the classroom functions -- 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-stnictural as well as
pedagogical considerations that are changing not only how learning
occurs but what is learned.
4. Qiyun Wang and Huay Lit Woo (2007)
Integrating Information and Communication (ICT) into teaching
and learning is a growing area that has attracted many educators'
efforts in recent years. Based on the scope of content covered, ICT
integration can happen in three different areas: curriculum, topic, and
Module 1 - Learning Plans in the Context of the 21 Century
Lesson 2- CT-Pedagogy Integration in Language Learning Plans
11
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.
6. 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 yoü 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 the
definitions of ICT from various sources:
1. Moursund (2005)
ICT includes all the full range of computer hardware,
computer software, and telecommunications 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 systems 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
(website, blogs and emails), live broadcasting technologies (radio,
television and webcasting), recorded broadcasting technologies

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.

Information Communication Technologies (ICT) influence
every aspect of human life. They play salient roles in workplaces,
in bsiness, education, and entertainment. Moreover, many people
recognize ICTs as catalysts 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 students opportunities to learn and apply
the required 21St Century skills. ICT improves teaching and learning
and helps teachers 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 Frameworks 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 prqmote learning and does not help facilitate the
attainment of the intended learning outcomes set for a class There is a need,
therefore, to enlighteir you on the principles on how educational 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 lessons 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 (Laurillard, 2002)
may support. The framework postulates a way of presenting teaching and

learning in terms of events. These are 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.

Vis-à-vis the five events are specific teaching strategies, learning

-_____
The Laurillard's Conversational Framework (LCF) is relevant in thefield
of language education since this field requires appropriate and complex use of
various technologies. The framework clearly presents the way teaching eyenls-"
in language classrooms can be thoroughly related to their language kilfiiing
events. Language teachers need to systematically match their"teaching styles
to the learning needs of their students. By this, the integration of ICT and
pedagogy will be done in a comprehensive and meaningful Way.'
The usefulness of LCF in language education was analyzed in a study
that was conducted by Abeer Aidh Alshwiah in 2016. The study investigated
and evaluated the effectiveness of LCF in developing the writing component
of foreign language learners' (FLLs') communicative competence in blended
learning (BL) context, as 'compared to a face-to-face (1 72F) context. The FLLs
in the study comprised three intact classes from a foundation course at a'
Saudi university. The three skills addressed consisted of the use of the past
tense to describe past events and form wh-questions, as part of grammatical
competence, and writing a letter of complaint, as part of sociolinguistic
competence.
To evaluate the effectiveness of LCF, a mixed-methods approach was
used. The quasi-experimental design was applied by measuring learners'
development in the three aforementioned skills. The corresponding test results
were then compared with those of a control group. Moreover, the, benefits of
LCF were examined by gathering the learners' perceptions of the intervention
and analyzing their engagement with the teacher, peers, tasks and language.
The study revealed that LCF was more effective in the BL than in
the F2F context, in terms of developing the learners' skill in forming wh-
questions. However, both contexts almost equally developed the learners'
skills in using the' past tense and writing a letter of complaint. Moreover,
interviews with volunteers from the two experimental groups, observing their
engagement, and analyzing their conversations, revealed positive perceptions
amongst learners with an intermediate level of English language proficiency.
On the other -,hand, :wo different factors affected their perceptions of the
intervention: language proficiency and the willingness of peers to collaborate.
Another factor affecting perceptions of BL was lack of familiarity with the
technology applied It is therefore recommended that this barrier be overcome
and the use of BL, given its effectiveness for the development of more
writing skills be encouraged.

B. Three Fundamental Elements of ICT Integration by Wang (2008)


Wang in 2008 posited that integration of ICT consists of three
fundamental elements. These are pedagogy, social interaction, and
technology. These elements are diagrammatically represented by Wang in
Figure 1.

Figure 1: The ICT Integration Framework

The ICT Integration Framework of Wang can be fully maximized in


developing learning plans for language learning. In a language learning
context, pedagogy often refers to the language teaching strategies or
techniques that language teachers use to deliver their lessons and to allow
their learners to demonstrate the curricular language competencies. The
pedagogical element in language learning is very important as it primarily
reflects the art of teaching a teacher will employ in the learning process.
The pedagogical design a language teacher will use needs to
include proper selection of appropriate content and. language learning
activities. In the design, the teacher needs to look into how the available
technological resources will help provide scaffolds that will assist their
language learners during the learning processes. Language teachers need
to note that in developing learning plans that embed the pedagogical
design, it is crucial to look into the learning environment and ensure that
this environment will provide help to fulfill the needs and objectives of
the language class with learners of diverse experiences and backgrounds.
The learning plans should also involve the appropriate use of learning
resources and activities that support learners' learning and allow teachers
to facilitate learning.
Social interaction activities as one of the elements in the framework
are crucial 'in language learning. With social interaction, learners w'
naturally acquire a language and develop language knowledge and skills
that are important for them to live and work in various communities.
In the various learning events, the language teacher may use computers
which may allow the learners to interact and demonstrate the language
skills and competencies required from them. The teacher and the learners
may use computers to connect and learn through the computers that

16 Technology for Teaching and Learning 2


for Language Education - English / Filipino


are now connected world-wide. With the advent of computer-mtdiated
communication (CMC), planned social interaction activities that aim
to enhance language learning becomes more convenient and flexible.
Language learners may maximize computers individually but they may
also collaboratively use them with other learners. As noted by Uribe,
Klein, & Sullivan (2003), computer-supported collaborative learning has
shown positive effects on students' performance.
To engage the learners in the teaching-learning process fully and
ieaningfully, the social design of the ICT-based learning environment
needs to deliver a secure and comfortable space. This will allow
the learners to willingly share their thoughts and ideas to facilitate
communication among them.
The third element of the framework is the technological component
that generally uses computers to support various learning activities.
Through the use of computers, various teaching modes may, happen.
Interaction does not solely happen in a face-to-face environment. It
may also happen online. In order for any online interaction activities
in a language classroom to be effective, there is a need to consider the
availability of the facilities they require and ease of access. The human—
computer interface design is also critical because this will define the
utility of the technology-based learning environment. It must be noted
that in language learning, the ease of learning in the interface design is
essential. It needs to motivate the learners to fully participate.
In the 21 11 Century classrooms, the three components: pedagogy,
social interaction, and technology, are needed in an ICT-based learning
environment. Due to the advent of educational technologies which are
fundamental requirements in ICT-pedagogy integration, the challenge
among learning institutions is to provide support for the integration to
happen.

C. Categories for Lnformation Communication and Technology (ICT) in


Teacher Training
There is a lot of researches that will prove that the integration of
ICTs can fully transform classroom instruction. Haddad in 2003 states
that the teachers' use of ICT supports the development of higher-order-
thinking skills (HOTS) and promotes collaboration. This is the reason
why trainings in ICT pedagogy-integration are promoted.
For a successful ICT-pegadogy integration training to take place, it
will help if a training framework will be used as a guide. Jung (2005) was
able to organize various ICT teacher training efforts into four categories.
This is presented in this framework.

ICT Competency Framework for Teachers (UNESCO, 2018)

This framework, which is a part of a range of initiatives by the


UN and its specialized agencies including UNESCO, aims to promote

18 1

Technology for Teaching and Learning 2
for Language Education - English I Filipino
educational reform and sustainable economic development anclored
on the principles and objectives of the Millennium Development. Goals
(MDG), Education for All (EFA), the UN Literacy Decade (UNLD), and
the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD). As shown
by the framework, the teachers have six aspects of work: understanding
ICT in education, curriculum and assessment pedagogy, application of
digital skills, organization and administration, and teacher, professional
learning. Across the six aspects, of work are the three approaches to
teaching based on human capacity development - knowledge acquisition,
knowledge deepening, and knowledge creation.
The' framework also specifically 'aims to equip teachers to be able to
'their roles achieving the following societal goals:
• build workforces that have information and communications
technology (ICT) skills and are reflective, creative and adept at
problem-solving in order to generate knowledge;
• enable people to be knowledgeable and resourceful so they are
able to make informed choices, manage their lives effectively and
realize their potential;
• encourage all members of society irrespective of gender, language,
age, background, location and differing abilities to participate fully
in society and influence the decisions that affect their lives; and
• foster cross-cultural understanding, tolerance and the peaceful
resolution of conflict. .

The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) through its Policies,


Standards, and Guidelines (PSGs) requires the integration of ICTs in
language teaching and learning. Hence, the ICT Competency Framework
for Teachers is very useful to , support the standards as they will serve as a
guide to assist the teachers to successfully integrate ICT into the language
classroom. Through the framework, the language teachers may structure their
learning environment in new ways, merge new technology and pedagogy,
develop socially active classrooms, and encourage co-operative interactions,
collaborative learning and group work. '

• Use appropriate logical connectors for emphasis.

Unit Summary:
In this unit, the students will act like junior reporters as they learn the
proper use of logical connectors, active and passive voices, past and perfect
tenses, as well as direct and reported speech in journalistic writing. The
teacher will utilize interactive PowerPoint presentations, sample printed and
online, articles as well as related web pages and videos in explaining the
grammatical . structure and journalistic content of news, opinion, and feature
stories. Based bn the discussed concepts, the students will create their ,own
journalistic articles. The students will then collaborate and make a newspaper
spread through MS Publisher. They will be evaluated by their group members,
by other groups and by the teacher. This will be the students' final output
for English in the 41h quarter. It will be assesed using journalistic standards
for content and organization and related grammar rules. Ultimately, students
will appreciate the role of journalism in keeping the society informed and in

To deliver a thought-provoking and captivating commentary, guidelines
on writing and speaking will be emphasized. Before the video commentary
on video making starts, the students will be informed that the final 'outputs
will be checked through the use of a rubric given to them prior to starting
the project. This would include concept, script/ storyboard, content and
organization, quality, teamwork and timeliness. Also, a rubric for peer
evaluation will be distributed to students for them to grade their own
groupmates according to their contributions, problem-solving, technique,
attitude, focus on the task and working with others. This will be done to
ensure the validity and reliability of the credits that will be given to students,
and also for the. equal distribution of scores according to each student's
performance and contribution in the project.
The integration of the principles of delivering argumentative speech used
in the commentary will be graded with a rubric as well. The criteria would be

[Introductkn]

Language learning encompasses the development of the macro skills


such as reading, writing, listening, speaking, and viewing. The concern
of the language teacher is how to teach these skills in a holistic manner as
these skills complement each other when used by people in communicating.
Is it possible to target more than 2 or 3 of the macro skills in one leaning
activity? The answer is yes. However, this largely depends on the approaches
used by the language teacher in facilitating the development of learning
competencies in the language classroom. One way to achieve this end is the
uti1iztion of active learning approaches.
Aôtive learning approaches are characterized by learners' engagement in
activities that are geared towards the generation of new knowledge or making
meaning to an existing knowledge while developing other 21st Century skills
(such as collaboration, media literacy, critical thinking) in the process. Four
of the recent active learning approaches introduced to enhance the teaching
learning process are Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL), Research-based
Learning, Problem-based Learning, and Project-Based Learning (PBL).
These learning approaches are designed to give more depth and breadth in
the learning of content in the K to 12 Curriculum. While these approaches
are meant to provide opportunities for active exploration of content, each of
these approaches has a distinct characteristic that needs to be considered by
teachers in the realization of learning competencies especially in language
teaching. Knowing the distinctions among these active learning approaches
will help the language teacher in deciding what approach to adopt.
Central to active learning approaches is the construction of framing
questions that will guide the learners in their investigation either on a specific
topic or unit. Investigations become more meaningful when these are related
to real life experiences or real world issues or problems.
As learners become active participants in the process of generating new
knowledge, technology whether digital or non-digital, plays an important
role in the utilization of these active learning approaches With the ubiquity
of technology tools that learners are exposed to, it is the teacher's role to
ensure the appropriateness and relevance of such tools in the development
of learning competencies Aside from learning language skills, it is also
important to train learners of their responsibilities as they engage in digital
learning activities and enable them to discriminate digital tools that are useful
in enhancing their knowledge on the content of investigation.

Module 2- Integrating Active Learning Approaches in Language Learning

SG
Inquiry-Based Learning and
Research-Based Learning

At the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:

• discuss the salient features of inquiry-based learning


and research-based learning and their application to
the attainment of language learning competencies and
language learning outcomes;
• analyze how technologies for teaching and learning
languages can be maximized in inquiry-based learning and
research-based learning; and
• state some performance standards from the Curriculum
Guide that can employ inquiry-based learning and
research-based learning.

Exdte :

To be able to attain the above-stated lesson objectives, do the following


exercises step-by-step:

Step 1: The KWL Chart


Familiarize yourself with the concept of KWL chart. Analyze the
contents of the charts and think of how you can use this chart in facilitating
your language lessons.

58 Technology for Teaching and Learning 2


for Language Education- English / Filipino
KWL CHART

tJilLL '

What I Know What I Want to Know What I Learned

Step 2: Starting with an Essential or Big Question


Since inquiry-based learning usually starts with essential or big questions
that elicit varied answers from the respondents, think of a question that you
would like to ask youistudents relevant to a specific lesson in your language
class. Do this in a group with five (5) members. Some example questions may
be:
a. Why do we need to learn how to listen?
b. Why is there a need to be engaged in public speaking?
c. How do children with special learning needs communicate?
d. How do we know the language struggles and stories of the people of
long ago?

What is one main characteristic of a young children that helps them to


know about the world they live in?
Write your big question. on the KWL chart.

Module 2- Integrating Active Learning Approaches in Language Learning


Lesson 1 - Inquiry-Based Learning and Research-Based Learning
59
Step 3: Finding Out What We Know
Eliciting from your collective lived experiences as groupmates, provide
an answer to the big question you identified. Record your answers through
filling in the first column of the KWL Chart. In this step, each member is
expected to actively participate to fully answer the KWL chart. As you do the
activity, writing and speaking skills can be observed to be demonstrated by
each member.
This activity can be done at any level in your language classes in the
future. You need to allow some students like in the pre-school level to draw
their answers in the, chart if they cannot write their answers in verbal form.

Step 4 Finding Out What We Want to Know


To allow you to freely explore about what is in store in the world around
you, fill-in the second colunm of the KWL chart By answering the second
column, you will be able to think of other possible information that is beyond
the knowledge that you have about the big question. This activity contributes
to the development of inquisitiveness of students

Step 5: Finding Out the Answer from Experts


To be able to learn better about the topic and big question, get on
searching for an answer to the questions from reliable sources. Sources
may refer to your language teaèhers or from the library resources (digital or
printed), conduct interview with some teachers or other human resources
who may give an answer to the question or get information from your library
resources Record your interview data or literature review data

Step 6: Finding Out What We Have Learned


Finally, organize the results of your gathered data and write your answer
in Column 3 of your KWL chart.

3 Nature of Inquiry-Based Learning
Inquiry, in its simplest definition, is a process of asking questions. This
has spurred' the enumerable developments that we continue to enjoy in our
society today. It continues to usher the study of so many fields that enable
various scientists and experts to provide solutions to emerging issues affecting
the society in general. In the classroom, in particular, the process of inquiry
is a basic learning activity that every teacher is expected to facilitate. The
development of the ability to 'ask among learners is basic in the age of the
Fourth Industrial Revolution. According to the Future of Jobs Report duri

the World Economic Forum, the top three of the ten skills needed in this sage
are complex problem solving, critical thinking and creativity (Gray, 2016)
which all start from the process of asking.
inquiry-based learning (IBL) as an approach essentially involves tasks
requiling learners' active participation in finding answers to curricular
questions. The questions can run from very specific simple questions to
more complex questions in relation to the curriculum. Learners are given
opportunities to engage in self-regulated activities as they pursue their
investigation. Using this in the language classroom can facilitate the
development of communication skills as it involves activities such as writing
questions, deliberating on ways of finding answers to curricular questions,
and presenting outputs as evidence of inquiry among others. This approach
encourages students to work together in accomplishing their task.
• The process of inquiry starts from positing a question aligned to a
content standard in the K to 12 curriculum for English. Investigation proceeds
using various sources of information and presentation of outputs of the
students using a productivity tool. Depending on the required output, the
assessment tool that will be used should be given to the students before the
inquiry commences.

When to Use
Chisholm, and Godley (2011) purport that inquiry-based instruction (IBI)
offers an especially appropriate approach to learning about language variation,
identity, and power since IBI can provide students With opportunities to learn
about current issues in sociolinguistics through sharing and debating on a
personal experience with language from multiple perspectives.

Types of Inquiry
VIU (2020) presented four types of inquiry that can be used in
facilitating classes. These are:
1. Structured 'Inquiry - This lets the students follow the lead of the
teacher as the entire class engages in one inquiry together.
2. Controlled Inquiry - The teacher chooses topics and identifies the
resources that the students will use to answer questions.
3. Guided Inquiry - The teacher chooses topics or questions and
students design the product or solution. •-
4. Free Inquiry - Students are allowed to choose their own topics
without any reference to a prescribed outcome.

Module 2 - Integrating Active Learning Approaches in Language Leming


Lesson 1 - Inquiry-Based Learning and Research-,Based*Learning
61
Role of the Teacher
The success of IBL largely depends on the careful planning of the
teacher in relation to the curriculum. The language teacher needs to look into
the learning competencies that can be satisfied by a simple inquiry or more
complex inquiry. He/she controls and prepares the topic for investigation
and guides the learners by setting the questions to be explored. Learners are
allowed to design their own way of investigation and present their outputs
using technology tools that are afforded to them. When technology is coupled
with IBL, a gateway to information is opened and students can have access
to information at anytime and anywhere. It is assumed that the teacher is
knowledgeable of the sources, of information and whether the learners have
access to these sources. .
When designing an IBL, the teacher has to consider the following fields
proposed by Avsec and Kocijncic (2016):
1. Prior knowledge and capacity
2. Context - Learners require meaning from experience.
3. Content and learning materials
4. Process
5. Strategy of reactions and behavior
6. Course outcomes

Role of Technology
The internet'. or the World Wide Web offers lots of platforms for mining
information. It has become the most sought out source of information
because of the variety of tools that abound Language is no longer a barrier
in one's search for information. Depending on the unit of study in a language
curriculum, there are many free educational websites that are available for the
language teachers and learners. Due to the vastness of sources of information
from the WWW, any language teacher who is using IBL has the responsibility
to direct learners to websites that provide the proper information. The
technology tools that are made available for the learners, whether online or
offline, should support the object of inquiry-which is aligned to the learning
competencies in the K to 12 Language Curriculum.
It should be noted that the use of technology in IBL is just one of the
many other sources of information in the process of inquiry. This does not
exclude the other resources, human and non-human, in gathering information.
However, learners are undeniably familiar and probably more adept in
exploring the internet. Guiding them in locating online resources that are
relevant in developing their research and communication skills will let them
learn the importance of using educational resources in an explicit and implicit
way.

knowledge or experience. Language teaching and learning in the basic
education are not just about parts of speeches, grammar and other, contents
but more so on how these are used to deal with real-life experiences. Using
problem-based learning is one of the approaches that may bring forth more
meaningful learning experiences in and beyond the classroom.

Nature of Problem-Based Learning


Problem-based learning is an approach that involves a process of inquiry
and solving open-ended questions that serve as the main problem that the
learners will work on. The type of questions posited is focused on a specific
content standard and its application to real life issues. It also requires more
than one answer or solution. Learners are engaged in a collaborative task as
they work towards the solution to the problem. This learning activity is done
in small groups with each member assigned a certain task to accomplish. In
the process of engaging in PBL, they learn several skills such as problem-
solving, communicating, research, among others which axe essential in the
workplace. The end goal of PBL is to ensure that the target, the learning
competencies, are achieved in the process.
Ali (2019) described PBL as a process that is used to identify problems
with a scenario to increase knowledge and understanding. In her article, she
proposed the following five principles of PBL that may be considered by
teachers in planning or using the approach:
1. It is a power of independent and self-directed learning.
2. Learning happens in a group and teacher is a facilitator.
3. All groups have to participate equally.
4. Students' learn about motivation, teamwork, problem-solving and
engagement with the task.
5. Materials such as data, photographs, articles, can be used to solve
the problem. (p. 73)

Lo (2009, p. 208) proposed a six-stage process used in the adoption of


the online PBL:
1. Identifying the probleim—current issues that do notFave just one
answer or one definite solution;
2. Brainstorming—generate ideas; tackle the problem through self-
directed questioning; arouse students' intrinsic motivation;
3. Collecting and analyzing the information—assigning group
members to collect information; posting what they found and what
they learned; collaborative collection of useful information;
4. Synthesizing information—solving the problem through
synthesized relevant data; knowledge building;

66 Technology for Teaching and Learning 2


for Language Education - Englinh I Filipino
5. Co-building knowledge—presentation of the solution to the
learning problem/ issue; and
6. Refining the outcomes—giving of feedback and suggestions by the
instructor to help students improye; learning from other group's
presentation.

Benefits of Problem-Based Learning


Several studies have revealed positive impacts of PBL on learners as
they engage in the process. Among these are the following:
(Ghufron & Ermawati, 2018, p. 666—in n EFL writing class)
1 Promotes self-confidence and motivation
2\ Reduces students' nervousness during the learning process
3. Increases students responsibility in learning
4. Makes students easily learn the material through sharing of ideas
5. Promotes problem-solving skills
6. Promotes self-directed learning
7. Promotes active learning
8. Makes students explore many learning resources
9. Makes students develop positive attitude towards learning

For Baresh, Ali, .& Darmi, 2019—EFL students:


• Enhances fluency in communication
• Improves grammar
• Increases comprehension
• Enhances good pronunciations
and intonations
. Enhances self-confidence
• Increases range of vocabulary

For English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students, PBL:


• Enhances fluency in communication
• Improves grammar
• Increases comprehension
• Enhancps good pronunciations
and intonations
• Enhances self-confidence
• Increases range of vocabulary

The study of Lin (2017) revealed statistically that the PBL participants
showed more improvement in their reading comprehension than the non-PBL
participants. The study further looked into the PBL active English learning

Open-ended Tools and their Uses in Teaching and Learning Language


Skills
Open-ended tools or productivity software applications are ICT tools,
which help the teachers and the learners make their learning together
concrete, efficient, encouraging, and meaningful. In any teaching-learning
process, the use of these tools play .a vital role as it helps meet the demands
of the learners in the 21St Century classrooms. As described by Palmer (2015),
teachers need to demonstrate 21 51 Century characteristiás to be able to meet
the demands of the 211t Century learners. These characteistics in the context
of language teaching are briefly presented for teachers to:
1. create a learner-centered classroom and make instruction personalized
because learners have different personalities, goals, and needs;
2. facilitate the students' productivity skills so they can produce, when
assisted and given the chance, movies that arL'helpfiil to enhance their
language proficiency;
3. learn new technologies since technology keeps on developing and
learning a tool once is not an option for teachers;
4. go global to allow students to learn languages, culture, and acquire
communication skills virtually;
5. be smart and allow the use of devices as aids to language acquisition;
6. do blogging. This will give teachers real experience to se the value
- of writing for real audience and establishing their digital presence;
7. go digital to help promote the "go paperless" advocacy and to help
level up the language learning experience of the students through
digital discussions and alike;
8. collaborate with other educators and students to give opportunity for
the sharing of great ideas beyond a conversation and paper copy;
9. use web chats to share research and ideas and stay updated in the
field;
10. connect with like-minded individuals through using media tools 1ile
the social media;
11. introduce Project-Based Learning to allow students to develop thir
driving questions, conduct research, contact experts, and create their
projects for sharing with' the use of existing devices present;
12. build positive digital footprint that aims to model appropriate use
of social media, produce and publish valuable content, and create
shareable resources;
13. code as it is today's literacy Which helps boost students' writing skills
as the feeling of writing a page with HTML is amazing;
14., innovate to expand their teaching toolbox for the sake of their students
by engaging, social media for discussions and announcements and

15. keep learning.

To be able to demonstrate the characteristics of an ICT-engaged


classroom and teacher cited above, it is appropraite to discuss how the various
productivity software applications can be used in the language classrooms.

A. Using Presentations in Teaching Language Skills


Language teachers can use computers to create visually and audibly
appealing presentations that utilize a variety of media tools. By using
presentation software applications, students can also develop their project
outputs and reports to be able to share in the class or in the World Wide
Web. Both teachers and students can learn variety of skills in the process of
planning, developing, presenting, and evaluating their presentations.
In language, teaching and learning, presentation software applications
have a lot of uses. It can be used as a presentation tool in an innovative
skill integration task, and the other as a novel writing tool. In both cases,
students can use language actively for speaking, listening, reading, and
writing (Schcolnik & Kol, 1999). While it is true that presentation , software is
commonly used in business and other disciplines for presentation, this is also
a very powerful tool in the language classroom.

88 1 Technology for Teaching and Learning 2


for Language Education - English I Filipino
Presentations, allow language learners to experience a world of real
inguage environment and opportunity in language courses, i.e. Filipino,
nglish, Mother Tongue and Foreign Languages. For instance, presentation
oftware applications allow language learners to
1. present their language reports with audio, visual images and
• animations;
2. develop and present their group projects using real-world visual
presentations;
3 present charts, tables, graphics, charts, and others that are useful to
facilitate students understanding of any language concepts;
4 show data stored in graphic organizers that cannot be fully presented
by a printed material;
5. develop digital stories or story books;
6 show results of any survey, questionnaire and other forms of language
assessment activities,
7. articulate and crystallize their ideas using the special features of
presentation software apps;
8. experience language learning process through the integration of
contents in the presentations;
9 enjoy developing their projects, thus, are highly involved,
10. commit to the quality of their work, both content and form, because
they don't only present what their classmates hear, but what they also
see;
11 present information in condensed form and focusing on salient points
because of the limited area in slide presentations, hence, avoiding
digression and drifting;
12. innovatively communicate their ideas and express themselves in ways
they feel comfortable.

Specifically, the integration of presentation software applications to


language teaching, and learning is very beneficial in developing the students'
four language skills 1ff their study Schcolnik and Kol (1 999) were able to
present how presentation software activates the four macro' -skills:
1 Reading - In our courses, students first read some of academic articles
on a topic of their choice, knowing that they will have to present their
conclusions in class. They analyze the articles critically, compare and
contrast the 'ideas presented, synthesize nd evaluate. Finally, they
select highlights for inclusion in their presentations. This process
is comparable to the process students go ; through when reading to
write a. paper. In both cases, reading to transmit information requires
clarification of ideas and presentation of those ideas in such a way that
others will understand.

Module 3 - Using Open Ended Tools in Facilitating Language Learning


Lesson 1 -. Productivity Software Applicauons for Language Teaching and Learning
89
2. Writing - When' composing slides, students have to condense the
information they have gathered to present only the main points. In
this type of 'minimalistic' writing, key concepts and words have to
be retained, while the 'chaff' is discarded This information reduction
process is in itself a difficult but very profitable language task. While
writing a minimal list of points on the screen, students can organize
a suitable sequence for the points and divide the points into slides. At
the same time, students need to take into consideration slide layout. A
slide cannot be too cluttered, the size of the font has to be large enough,
and the location of the elements on the screen has to be balanced. All
these force'students to re-read, re-evaluate and re-write what they have
written again and again.
3. Speaking - The material that students have read, organized and
summarized has to be presented orally to convey a clear message to
an audience of peers. Just as they would in a purely oral presentation,
.students have to 'rehearse' the pronunciation of diffiu1t words, time
themselves, and make sure that they have all the English lexicon
needed for their speech. The added value of computer presentations
is that the repeated revisions of their slides (to be seen by all of their
peers) give students extensive exposure to the content of their 'talk',
helping them remember what they want to say and giving them more
self-confidence. Many students have had no experience speaking
in front of an audience in their native language. The computer mode
seems to minimize their tension and feeling of insecurity when having
to speak in English.
4. Listening -The class listens to the oral presentation. Listening to a non-
native speaker is not easy, and visual elements facilitate comprehension.
We give the listeners a task requiring them to write down three new
facts that they learned about the subject and one question to ask the
speaker at the end of the presentation. When listening for a purpose, the
listening is focused and thus perhaps made easier.
Other studies confirm that the use of presentation software
facilitates the acquisition of the four macro skills. Brooks and Gavin
(2015) stressed that most teachers recognize the spoken component
of presenting, as students are required to speak when giving their
presentations. Moreover, they are required to research and plan out
their presntations for a properly structured academic presentation. In
doing so, students are required to use their reading and writing skills.
Students also have the opportunity to practice their writing skills when
they are asked to give presentations that include some type of visual
component. When they are preparing for these presentations students
will have to write out the appropriate information on their poster or
in their PowerPoint slides.. Finally, students have the opportunity to

90 I Technology for Teaching and Learning 2


for Language Education - English I Filipino
practice their listening skills when they act as the audience members
for the other groups' presentations. If these students are given a simple
task to do during the presentation, or are expected to use the knowledge
disseminated through the presentation for a specific purpose, this will
allow them to use this opportunity to praëtice their listening skills. The
communicative nature of presentations also allows audience members to
improve their listening skills more than listening to a tape or a lecture
would because they are able to confirm their understanding by asking
questions and interacting with the presenters.
In preparing language presentations, there are various factorsi that must
be considered to ensure that the language competencies are aFso developed
and demonstrated. The following are some guidelines that Brooks and Gavin
(2015) shared in designing presentations:

Basic Instructional Design in Preparing Presentations


1. Setting Up the Presentation Class - It is not enough to simply tell
students to go and do a presentation. Students have to be taught the
skills involved in giving a presentation. This can include such things
as when to use eye contact, how to organize a presentation, how to
connect with an audience, how to use body language and manage time,
and how' to construct an effective PowerPoint presentation. Since oral
presentations involve multiple communication and language skills, it is
important to focus on the specific presentation skills that are needed to
present in front of others. These included things like voice projection,
eye contact and the use of gestures.
2. Organization of the Presentation - Proper organization of information
is one of the most important competencies that must be developed
among students. Hence, before beginning to work on developing
presentation, it is important to understand the genre of oral presentation.
There is a need to learn how to separate the presentation into
meaningful sections and present each section separately to reduce the
cognitive work that is required in the presentation.
3. Presentation Skills - Its developing oral presentation is very important
to consider in developing oral presentations to spend time to consider
the macro and micro skills that are needed These micro level skills
include the genre specific language items, such as the vocabulary and
grammar that students need to be successful in oral presentation. Thesç
items are important to the students for two reasons. First of all, they
allow, students to be successful when they are presenting in the class.
Secondly, the language and grammar that students learn in the course
of giving a presentation will be useful for them in other situations that
involve spoken English (Thornbury, 2005).

Module 3- Using Open Ended Tools in Facilitating Language Learning


Lesson 1 - Productivity Software Applications for Language Teaching and Learning
91
4. The Use of Visual Aids - Visual aids are an important part of oral
presentations because they provide support for both the speakers and
listeners during the presentation. Visual aids can be used to give more
details about the topic, help the audience members to understand what
is being said, and act as a concrete reminder of the message for both
the audience and the presenter. The type of visual aid used can vary
depending on the topic of the presentation. Visual aids help cater to
different learning styles and some of the students who are not savvy
at paper written presentations are motivated at using presentation
software applications. In language learning, it helps students who are
comparatively weaker at acquiring a language tQ be motivated to
participate in the presentation and become valuable members of their
groups, which helped to facilitate a more positive group dynamics.
5. Performing Self-Reflections - The final stage of each oral presentation
involves students writing a self-reflection of their presentation. Through
this activity, writing skills are further enhanced thgether with the ability
of the students to do self-reflection.

B. Using Spreadsheets in Language Learning


Spreadsheets are very helpful in introducing some lessons in
language courses. Through spreadsheets, one can teach with tables and
charts, make a table and a graph, compute students' grades. Spreadsheet
programs are not only beneficial to business and mathematics courses but
are also beneficial to language courses. Apart from being built. around
a grid of cells that hold numerical data, it also 'contain text, dates, and
other content that can be presented in language courses for discussions.

The following are essential ideas that teachers may consider when
employing spreadsheets in the language classrooms:
1. Reinforce learning scientific and mathematical languages that are
also relevant in language learning.
2. Add well-designed charts and tables to reports to enhance
students' non-verbal reading skills.
3. Allow students to create their own charts, graphs, tables, and the
like, to develop and enhance their language and spatial skills.
4. Give students completed chart and see if they can reconstruct
underlying worksheet. This goes a lông way toward helping them
to understand the relationships between the data and the chart.
5. Require that language reports and research papers contain some
type of chart to help support their findings. Encourage them to
look for samples form the World Wide Web.
6. Let students explore websites that have table presentation for
language teaching and let them discuss how these were used to

92 Technology for Teaching-and Learning 2


for Language Education - English I Filipino
facilitate the acquisition of language competencies.
7. Let the students look for charts in language learning materials
like textbooks, workbooks and others and discuss why these were
used.
8. Teach the language and principles of financial literacy and
management as it is also important to learn these concepts in the
context of purposive communication and life skills.
9. Explain numerical concepts by showing the relationships between
numbers and their concrete representation in charts and graphs.
As language teachers, this is needed to understand language
researches with quantitative designs.
10.Demonstrate how spreadsheets are useful in preparing assessment
and evaluation tools for students' performance.

Simply knowing the principles of ICT Pedagogy integration is not


enough to make learning efficient and meaningful. Moreover, an effective
and efficient technology-supported lesson does not only end with having a
well-designed learning plan. This means that there is a need to prepare all the
learning tools and materials articulated in the learning plan and these must
be ready for implementation. A plan not supported and implemented is a plan
that is void.
This module aims to ensure that after you were able to clearly
identify the coverage of your learning plan and after clearly identifying the
documents, materials, and presentations that you need to prepare, you will
be tasked to develop student sample presentations and teacher presentations to
support the implementation of your learning plan.
In doing the activities for this specific lesson, you will be able to come
up with well-designed presentations and documents. By these documents, you
will be able to make the teaching and learning of language motivating and
fulfilling.

Students as Digital Authors


As the quality of authoring software increases and as you are exposed
to online learning, it is but proper for you as would-be facilitators of learning
to explore and understand some principles and guidelines to help your future
students author or write digitally. Moreover, you may also facilitate some
online language courses for any distance learning or blended learning that
require digital authoring.

A. Language Learning Via Web Publishing


Language skills can be fully developed by allowing students
to communicate through the internet This may take place when the
students or the class will be required to post a story or other products
on a bulletin board or web page. There are two ways to contribute any
authored documents to the World Wide Web. First, with the advent of
ready-made websites that are meant to invite and encourage contributors
to share their authored stories, research, commentaries, and the like,
students may publish their work by submitting their products to these
websites. Second, the students may create their own web pages because
there are a lot of free apps for web page development or they may place
them on their institution's official website.
To help you submit your authored products in an existing website,
-you may scarch for these Sites that are designed to highlight students'
researches, narratives, -stories, literary works, and other academic
writings. The following are examples of existing websites that inspire
students to submit their authored products. To be able to submit to these
websites, it pays to explore their web sites and pay attention to their
submission guidelines.

If you decide td let your students' works to be hosted by your


institutions' official website, this can also be Today, there are a lot of
academic institutions whose website serves as their information dissemination
center for their customers and stakeholders. Barron et al. (2002) state that
there are two fundamental stages in creating a website or web pages. First, the
page files and all associated images, sounds, and so forth must be created in
the proper format and tested. Second, the files must all be transferred to a host
computer called a web server.

Barron et al. further state that web page files must adhere to a specific
format or language, called hypertext markup language (HTML). HTML 'uses
tags to define how information is formatted on a screen. In creating a web
page using HTML, students may find it intimidating but even elementary
students can do it. For language learners, using HTML may gradually expand
their horizons and enrich their vocabulary and communication skills.
You may search for the steps in developing a web page by using HTML

B. Enhancing Language Skills through Digital Storytelling


One of the most exciting ICT-based language tasks that can be
done to develop all the four macro skills is to create digital stories. This
language task meets the demands of today's learners living in a rapidly
changing world with opportunities and that are different
from the ones many of the previous generations grew up with. Today's
learners are more demanding and are willing to discover new ways to
apply, extend, and expand on existing knowledge (Kaminskiene &
Khetsuriani, 2018.)
Responding to these challenges, language classroom facilitators need
to migrate to a more flexible and modernized delivery of the language
curriculum. Doing so, leads to changes in the technological pedagogical
role of the teacher and the learner, so the language competencies of
today's learners will be developed beyond the use and aid of traditional
writing, tools. Contemporary language learning needs to create a new
culture of teaching and learning that focuses on how to develop the
ability of the students to listen, speak, read, and write in the digital age
In language education, storytelling is a common requirement
that aims to share one's stories, culture, knowledge, values, language,
and other. Storytelling is not something new because it has been one
of the oldest activities not only inside the classrooms but even in the
communities. Storytelling has been considered to have great contribution
to literacy development by improving learners' language, writing, reading
or listening skills (Kaminskiene & Khetsuriani, 2018.) At present,
storytelling is not just done face-to-face or through the aid of traditional
technologies. This can already be done digitally. Hence, the word digital
storytelling.

106 1 Technology for Teaching and Learning 2


for Language Education - English / Filipino
Numerous researches have proven that digital storytelling can bing
benefits to students and other individuals. In a research conducted by
Olivia and Bidarra (2017), they affirmed that digital stories are very
helpful because they help develop understanding individual experiences
and perception of real world among learners. Rong and Noor (2019)
cited some researches conducted in various countries saying that in the
basic schools in Oya state, it was discovered that digital storytelling
was able to improve kindergarten pupils' achievement in moral
instruction. Moreover, it was proven in Portugal that the use of digital.
storytelling among secondary schoOl students encouraged multimodal
literacy in education. Additionally, in southern Taiwan, research showd
that project-based digital storytelling technique improved elementary
school students' learning motivation, problem-solving competence as
well as their learning achievement. Lenette et al. (2019) in their paper
highlights the broader potential of digital storytelling particularly in
mental health research in collaboration with refugee participants. Their
research concludes that digital storytelling is a valuable and ethical
research tool to engage in collaborative research. This was proven by
their research that recounts how digital storytelling was used in a mixed-
methods study on settlement, to document the journeys of women who
entered Australia through the Woman at Risk program. McDrury and
Alterio (2000) claim that digital storytelling, as one of the ICT based
pedagogical tool, provides student-centered learning strategies based on
learners' engagement, reflection, project-based learning, and .the effective
integration of technology into instruction.
As an innovative and interactive approach to language skills
acquisition, storytelling is seen as ,a very responsive variation of the
traditional methods because it brings more meaningful and essential
learners' engagement into the language skills acquisition process. As
pointed out by Gils (2005), the employment of digital storytelling as a
pedagogical tool enables teachers to elucidate certain complex topics in
a simpler manner and create real life or problem-solving situations where
learners get actively involved..

The following are some of the existing storytelling tools listed and
described by Knapen (2018).

C. Enhancing Language Skills through E-mail Activities


Email activities are very good activities to develop language skills.
Through some e-mail activities that can be facilitated by 'a teacher, the
students are given the opportunity to practice, and demonstrate their
reading and writing skills. It may also enhance further their research and
ICT skills. Barron et al. (2002) were able to present the following email
activities that can be fully maximized to develop the various language
skills of students:

1. Pen-Pal Activities
This is the most common form of e-mail projects called
electronic pen pals or e-pals. Students can practice their written
communication skills and can become aware of other cultures
and pracfice fóTeign language skills. This can be done through the
following:

a. Belouga

be provided with opportunities to practice their mentoring skills apart
from enhancing their language skills.

3. Ask an Expert -
Email is a very powerful tool for students to use to engage
the experts in the field especially if the experts are far from their
institution. They can engage the Ask An Expert Website at http:/Iwww.
askanexpert.com .

4. Round Robin Stories


In a round-robin approach, a participating class starts a story with
one. paragraph. The story starter is sent to a predetermined class (class
one sends its story class two, and so on). Students work in small
groups to add a new paragraph to the story.

Publication Requirements in the Light of the Digital Age


While there is a ubiquity of productivity tools for students to maximize,
it is your responsibility as the facilitator of the learning process to ensure that
your students will be fully guided to observe several guidelines in publishing
their products. It must be noted that the development of high-quality digital
learning products and materials involves a complex combination of subject
matter expertise, instructional design knowledge, and technical skills - graphic

110 Technology for Teaching and Learning 2


for Language Education - English I Filipino

design, photography, audio, video, computer programming, etc. (Wilde, 2904).
With the engagements of all of this, it is very important to be mindful oF the
following: -

A. Copyright Laws
Copyright Law protects works of authorship. Hence, it is very
important for teachers and students to learn more about copyrights
laws and copyright acts to ensure that there will -be no copyright
infringements that will happen in the process of authoring of
publishing materials offline or online.

According to FindLaw (2020), the Copyñght Act states that works


of authorship include the following types of works
• Literary works Novels, nonfiction prose, poetry, newspaper
articles and newspapers, magazine articles and magazines,
computer software, software documentation and manuals,
training manuals, manuals, catalogs, brochures, ads (text), and
compilations such as business directories
• Musical works Songs, advertising jingles, and instrumentals
• Dramatic works. Plays, operas, and skits.
• Pantomimes and choreograDhic works; Ballets, modern dance;
• jazz dance, and mime works.
• Pictorial; graphic, and sculptural works. Photographs, posters,.
maps, paintings, drawings, graphic art, display ads, cartoon
strips and cartoon characters, stuffed animals, statues, paintings,
and works of fine art.
• Motion pictures and other audiovisual works. Movies,
documentaries, travelogues, training films and videos, television
shows, television ads, and interactive multimedia works
• Sound recordings. Recordings of music, sounds, or words.
• Architectural works. Building designs, whether in the form of
,

árchiteiural plans, drawings, or the constructed building itself.

FindLaw (2020) further states that Copyright Law is important


for multimedia developers and publishers for two reasons
a Original multimedia works are protected by copyright The
Copyright Act's exclusive rights provision gives developers
and publishers the right to control unauthorized exploitation
of their works
b. Multimedia works are created by combining "content" -
music, text, graphics, illustrations, photographs, software
- that is protected under copyright law. Developers and
publishers must avoid infringing copyrights owned by others.

from the World Wide Web. Some of these can be read in Appendix A.

B. Anti-Bullying Act of 2013


Republic Act No. 10627 otherwise known as the Anti-Bullying
Act of 2013 of the Philippines directs all elementary and secondary
schools to adopt policies to address the existence of bullying in their
respective institutions. Bullying refers to any severe or repeated use
by one or more students of a written, verbal or electronic expression,
or a physical act or gesture, or any combination thereof, directed at
another student that has the effect of actually causing or placing the
latter in reasonable fear of physical or emotional harm or damage to
his property; creating a hostile environment at school for the other
student; infringing on the rights of the other student at school; or
materially and substantially disrupting the education process or the
orderly operation of a school.
One of the most common problems encountered today, by internet
users is bullying online which we call cyberbullying. Consequently,
it is important for teachers to be very judicious and alert in advising
students as they publish their requirements online or as they
communicate or collaborate through the World Wide Web.

C. Republic Act 101751


This is known as Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 declaring a
policy that states that the State recognizes the vital role of information
and communications industries such as content production,
telecommunications, broadcasting electronic commerce, and data
processing, in the nation's overall social and economic development.
The State also recognizes the importance of providing an environment
conducive to the development, acceleration, and rational application
and exploitation of information and communications technology
(ICT) to attain free, easy, and intelligible access to exchange and/
or delivery of information; and the need to protect and safeguard
the integrity of computer, computer and communications systems,
networks, and databases, and the confidentiality, integrity, and
availability of information and data stored therein, from all forms of
misuse, abuse, and illegal access by making punishable under the law
such conduct or conducts. In this light, the State shall adopt sufficient
powers to effectively prevent and combat such offenses by facilitating
their detection, investigation, and prosecution at both the domestic
and international levels, and by providing arrangements for fast and
reliable international cooperation.

• prepare Ms that will enhance language learning utilizing
selected technology tools in delivering the learning plan;
and
• create appropriate IMs using technology tools in learning

Introduction
Instructional Materials (IMs) are very important because they contribute
a lot to student learning and teaching. It is never new to claim that IMs
help to improve students' knowledge and skills and teachers' management
of the class requirements. Much has been written to present th relevance
of instructional materials in general and for language teaching in particular.
Using instructional materials in language classes makes language learning
fascinating and authentic. It enables both the teacher and the student to
enthusiastically participate in the language learning activities; hence, giving
the students the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and the skills of
language aimed at in their lessons. By the use of well-prepared IMs, teachers'
self-confidence to deliver their lessons is also heightened while the students
are also given the opportunity to actualize their learning.
There are a lot of teachers who use traditional instructional materials to
enhance the teaching learning process. This module aims to present to you the
innovative ICT-based instructional materials that can be used to enhance language
instruction. The texts, charts, models, graphics, and other , objects usually
presented in printed materials will be shown using interactive ICT tools to enrich
TM development and presentation.

Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) can be significantly


useful as tools for language instruction In the Philippines, the languages
that are being taught are Mother Tongue, Filipino, English and other foreign
languages With the integration of ICTs in teaching languages, the need to
process data quickly and integrate voice, music, video, pictures, and text
into lessons can be fully addressed Esht (2017) claims that ICTs can be
programmed to tailor, instruction and tests for each individual language
learner.
To be able to use these technologies successfully as tools and materials
and to help in effective conduct of language classes, some principles on
suitability, adequacy, and efficient utilization will also be discussed in this
Module. The effectiveness of instructional tools in promoting students'
academic performance in teaching and learning is indisputable. It provides,
the much needed sensory experiences needed by the learners for an effective
and meaningful behavioral change (Ajoke, 2017). Slavin (2010) also added
that, well-planned and imaginative use of visual aids in lessons banish apathy,
supplement inadequacy of books as well as arouse student's interest by giving
them something practical to see and do, and at the same time help to train
them to think things out themselves.
In language teaching and learning, there are a lot of instructional
materials that can be prepared to enhance the teaching-learning process. These
instructional materials can be prepared with the support of technologies

122 Technology for Teaching and Learning 2


for Language Education - English I Filipino
Some of the common language teaching materials will be presented in this
module and the technological tools that can be used to prepare them are also
described Gone are the days when cassette tapes, radios, and televisions were
the only technologies being used to allow students to demonstrate language
skills for the English or Filipino subjects or courses. Today there are 'a lot of
instructional materials that are being used to enhance language learning that
are ICT-based.

Computer-Based Instructional Tools and Materials in Language Teaching


The numerous technology tools being used in language teaching are fully
supportive of the different types of instructional materials commonly used
in language teaching. Below are some computer-based instructional tools,
strategies and materials in language teaching

A. Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL)


Computer-assisted language learning (CALL) is a fundamental part
of English teaching methodology and it is a highly acknowledged means
in attaining learning objectives. Computers provide many opportunities
of exchanging ideas and information at both national and international
level Before this technology, students were not able to learn language
easily and they had to face many hurdles and difficulties. The classical
and traditional methods used by the old teachers couldn't help them to
learn foreign language effectively. The old teaching methods couldn't
fulfill the requirements of learning and learners. But now the advanced
and progressive technology of 'the computer has motivated the learners to
learn language effectively. The computer has become a valuable tool of
learning for modern students (Lohdi, 2019). Eslit (2017) also described
CALL as one of the many tools and techniques that can help improve
the students' langdage. competencies. He claims that this new technology
in language education has increased learner autonomy, creativity,
productivity-'and tm work. It has been used with interactive teaching
approach to tutor language learners through language drills or skills
practice It has also been used as stimulus for discussion and interaction,
or as a tool for writing and research
Abate (2018:) conducted a research on blending Content and
Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) and CALL. The research
found out that the use of simple but efficacious web tools during
lessons in CLIL approach improved learners' - competencies. Theweb
tools enable communication; facilitate access to knowledge, online
dictionaries and other learning resources and increase exposure to using
a foreign language. CLIL develops cognitional improvement, cultural
understanding without any substantial loss to content learning. The use of
ICT enhances effective student's motivation to learn languages. -

The use of CALL in today's language classroom has improved
a lot because of the new trends of technologies and because of the
various challenges and innovations in language teaching and learning.
In a research conducted by Paul Lyddon (2018), it was pointed out
that digital technologies have increased communications between
speakers of different languages, but the widespread use of online
machine translation has become a disruptive force for foreign language
education, as it permits intelligible exchanges between persons with
little or no knowledge of a foreign tongue. The research further notes
that as machine translation technology only continues to improve,
the entire purpose of foreign language learning, computer-assisted
or otherwise, may one day soon likely be called into question.. It is
therefore, recommended that while nothing is ever truly future-proof; the
sustainabthty of foreign language education may require a shift in focus
away from traditional language acquisition and toward social semiotic
awareness and multmiodal intercultural communication- This suggests
possible roles for digital technologies m sustainable language teaching

It is ,a website that features amazing poster templates and
has an easy-to-use custom graphics service.

3. Flashcards
Flashcards are indispensable instructional materials in language
teaching. These are commonly used in reading and in teaching lessons
in phonology and morphology. With the presence of free educational
websites, language teachers will not have difficulty in preparing their
flashcards. The following websites, organized by Softonic (2020), may
help you prepare your flashcards for your language classes:
a. Anki
https://anki.en.softonic.c/
Anki is a powerful, multi-purpose application. Flashcards
created using Anki can contain text.sound,Jmages, and
formatted documents in standard LaTeX.
b. Vocabla: English Dictionary
https://en.softonic.com!android!education-reference
Vocabla focuses on the study of words. To make
expanding your vocabulary more fun and addictive, Vocabla
introduces competitive elements, with achievements and
points in the rankings, just like in games. The unique feature
of Vocabla is an add-on for Mozilla Firefox, which allows
you to add words and create flashcards directly online.
c. Learn Spanish with EduKoala
https://en.soflonic.com/android!education-reference
Edukoala is pretty similar to the previously mentioned
app, but its uniqueness is in the way it lets you learn new
words every time you unlock your Android phone. In the
settings, you can choose to be challenged with words,
instead of the traditional code or swipe pattern, to unlock
your, phone. Edukoala will display a question and three
possible answers; answer the question correctly to unlock
your Android. It's an interesting approach, but as the
developer admits, it doesn't work on every phone, and
you'll need to download a different app for each language
you want to learn (the app offers English, Spanish, German,
French, Chinese, Italian, Russian, Portuguese, Hindi,
Japanese, Norwegian, and Greek).
d. Study Blue
https://en.softonic.com!iphone/education-reference

or draw something, and then add more information maritally
or verbally.

4. Slide
Among the various types of materials that are available for
projection, slides and film strips are the foremost visual aids. They
are of great value in teaching traditionally, slide projectors have been
used by teachers for their slide presentation. These slide projectors
have been used for projecting pictures from a transparent slide on a
wall or screen. Nowadays, innovative and stimulatingi presentation
applications are commonly used by teachers. These presentation
software applications have very good features that can make the
presentation of lessons near to seeing real objects and subjects. Some
of these are:
a. Microsoft PowerPoint
Segundo and Salazar (2011) in their research state
that PowerPoint this program has become the world's
most widely used presentation program and is a complete
presentation program that allows teachers to produce
professional-looking presentation in EFL classrooms.

b. PowToon
Semaan and Ismail (201 8) stated in their research that
PowToon is a web-based tool that offers a wide array of
media options, graphics, cartoons, and animated images
to create animated presentations that flow smoothly and
logically. It also features classroom accounts for project-
based learning PowToon can be used to teach any subject.
In 2014, Tracy Weber cited by Semaan and Ismail (2018)
described PowToon as a potential application to teach
language courses particilarly English. She said, it could be
employed in an English class to demonstrate knowledge of
Romeo and Juliet from a students' perspective; and even in
industrial arts class by demonstrating welding techniques.
PowToon paves the way towards teaching higher order
thinking skills like critical thinking, summarizing, and
problem-solving which are basic skills for a successful
global citizens in the 21s' Century.
c. Google Drive Presentation
Google Drive Presentation is a cloud-based presentation;
hence, it is always available because you can always access
it anytime there is net connection using your PC, Chrome
Book, Android etc.

Module 4 - Producing Learning Resources Using Technology Toots


Lesson 1 - Characteristics of Appropriate Instructional Materials in Language Teaching
127
Since it is part of the Google's Software Office Suite
within the Google Drive, you can also easily share it to your
students in your language classes.
d. Slide Rocket
This is a web-based program that will allow you
to create presentations for your language classes. This
software is very similar to other presentation software like
PowerPoint and Prezi. Its notable features are its templates
which can be used to make presentations more visually
appealing.
e. Prezi
Just like PowerPoint Presentations, there are several
pieces of research that claim that Prezi is commonly used for
presentation in academic instructions. Houska (2013) stated
that Prezi is taking hold in some disciplines and circles.
Instructors, professional speakers aid students continue to
post presentations created though Prezi online for public
perusal. These presentations can be an excellent starting
point for tech-savvy instructors intending to reinvigorate
their classroom instruction or present material in a novel,
engaging format. In language teaching, the research of
Yusny and Kumita (2016) concludes that teaching grammar
utilizing Prezi presentation helps students improve their
grammar mastery. Additionally, it also shows that the
students have positive responses toward utilizing Prezi
presentation in grammar lessons. However, they emphasized
that the development of Prezi presentation in all education
materials should carefully adhere to the principles of
instructional design and must not overuse the features as it
could also lead to negative effect to the learners.

5. Work Sheets and Forms


A worksheet is not only completed on printed materials but these
can also be accomplished through the web. By the use of some word
processing software like Microsoft Word, a teacher can also develop
electronic forms.
a. Google Forms e. QuickTapSurvey
b. Monkey Survey Form f. Type Form
c. Paper Forms g. Cognito Form
d. Survey Planet h. Ninja Forms

6. Newsletters
A newsletter is a very useful material in language teaching and
learning. Preparing a newsletter will develop and build the vocabulary
and writing skills of students through drafting, revising, editing,
and publishing Students will become familiar with the process
of producing formal written documents, such as magazines and
newspapers. Through interacting with others in the class, students will
also learn how to work within a team. Moreover, the following skills
can also be developed:
• Receptiveness to language, reading, listening and
understanding
• Writing, spelling, grammar, drafting, revising and editing
• Imagination, confidence in using oral language and creative
skills
• Use of dictionaries and thesauruses to extend and develop
vocabulary and spelling

The following are also important factors to consider. when


preparing a newsletter (explorer, n.d.):
Accuracy: Ensure the facts are right (including how to spell
names). Always use the five Ws and H (Who, What, When,
Where, Why, How?).
Audience: Who will read the paper? Is your story of interest to
them?
• Research: Always check facts that you have collected - use
reference materials if needed.
• Images: Don't leave the images to the last minute - always
think how the image can grab the reader's attention- that can
be used with the article.
• Writing What is the WOW factor of the story? - Start with
a good lead. Remember that you want to grab the reader's
attention and then want to read more. Use the worksheet
below to assist with writing stories.

7. Pamphlets
A pamphlet • is a small, unbound booklet focused on a single

subject for educational purposes. Pamphlets are non-periodical. They


are written for the layman, simply and without excessive
jargon. Authors present text and images in an organized fashion to
communicate a clear message. Pamphlets can be folded in a variety of
ways. such as in half, in thirds, or in fourths (Lucid Press, 2020). The
sample technology tools that you can use to develop your pamphlets
are:

services (Lucid Press, 2020) Some applications that you may use to
develop your brochures are:
a. Microsoft Publisher
b. Canva
o Venngage
d. Visme
e. flipsnack

9. Cartoons
A cartoon is a simple picture of an amusing situation; sometimes
it is a satirical comment on a serious or topical issue. A strip cartoon
is a sequence of framed drawings, which tell a story. Both types are
to be found in newspapers, magazines and leaflets. In development
situations a cartoon is a method of conveying a specific message How
to use cartoons Cartoon pictures enable people to discuss sensitive
issues and so are useful for teaching and training Listening skills
in the language class can be extended and developed using cartoon
strips. You can read out a description of something, which needs to
be drawn in sequence, each part in a separate frame. Ask the students
to listen carefully, while you read the piece two or three times. Then
ask them to draw what they have heard. You could provide a template
with several ready frames for them to fill in. You could do this with
two separate groups and ask the students to discuss what they see in
the picture. You can then evaluate how well they have understood
the piece you read. Cartoon strips can be used to teach sequencing
to students. Find, or draw, a cartoon strip with between three and
eight separate frames. Cut out each frame and, rearrange them so that
they are in the wrong order. Stick them down in the new order and
make one copy for each group. Ask them to cut each frame out and
put them in the correct order. Before you do this, show the students
an example on the chalkboard of pictures in the wrong order and ask
them to put them in the correct sequence. The above, exercise can also
be used in a workshop or training session, using a topic related to the
subject of the workshop or session As it encourages discussion and
team decision-making, it can be introduced as an ice-breaker. The less
obvious the order, the more interactive the process will be as each
group may suggest different answers. This creates an opportunity for

130 1 Technology for Teaching and Learning 2


for Language Education- English I Filipino
each group to explain their answers and defend their position (Ajke,
2017). There are cartoon making software that can be paid online but
the following are free cartoon making software that you may use or
let your students use:
a. Animaker
b. Pencil 2D
c. Synfig
d. Inkskape
e. Pixton

10. Journals
Journals are records of personal insights and experiences of
students These can serve also as instructional materials to be used by
teachers to be able to manage the reflections and sharing of insight in
the class. Journal writing is a very good activity for students because
they have the freedom to write their thoughts and feelings about
their learning experiences. The following are some examples of free
technological applications that can be used to help students write their
journals digitally:
a Perspective App by Blrnky
b. Journey Journal App
c. Momento Journal App
d. Penzu Journal App
e. Diaro Journal App
11. Bulletins Boards
Digitally, a teacher can develop online bulletin boards where he or
she may post some language activities or information that are helpful
for the students' acquisition of the language competencies. There are
applications (Frlazzo, 2011) thai can be used for this purpose and
these are:
a. Wallwisher (now called Padlet)
This was the first online, application that enables you to
place virtual post-it notes on a virtual corkboard or bulletin
board easily and allow you to post text, images, and/or
videos on them.

b. Corkboard Me
This is now called NoteApp which is a Wallwisher-like, tool
The site enables you to embed your virtual bulletin boards.
Other features include real-time collaboration and a chat
room for the people collaborating.

C. Popplet
You can make an online "bulletin board" with virtual post-
its" (called "poppletf. Except for the fact you have to
register to use it, Popplet is just as easy and, in some ways,
easier to use with a lot more functionality.
S Spaaze
This is similar to the others on this list; with registration is
required -

e- Group Zap
This app joins a long list of online virtual "corkboards-" It
has some nice features, including the ability to convert your
board to a PDF and being able to "drag-and-drop" images
and documents from your files.
f RealtimeBoard
This is an online whiteboard that seemed like a decent tool
for real-time collaboration. It's easy tQuse, and lets you
upload images from your computer or by its URL address.
They offer free "Pro" accounts to educators.

Characteristics of Effective and Efficient Instructional Tools


Simply using technology is not enough to learn a language. An effective
ICT-based instructional material is a well-planned and a well-designed one.
This means that the preparation of the lMs must be planned very well and it
must be ensured that they are developed to meet the learning objectives of the
language class. In addition, English language competencies should be given
importance during the planning, in-service training and in the making of ICT
strategic plan, action plans and strategic intervention materials for English
language instruction. It is also highly recommended that teachers maximize
the use of teacher-made websites, OER (open educational resources) and.
software or mobile applications to encourage autonomous learning of students
at the same time utilize these tools in flipping the classroom along with
task-based language activities, content and language integrated learning and
project-based outputs (Beduya, 2018).
The following are the characteristics of an instructional tool that is
effective in the classrooms.
1. Enhances instrudional effectiveness
The instructional material must be able to facilitate the
increase of students' achievemeut in language classes. Through
the instructional materials, all students including those with special
learning needs and students at risks will be benefited and will be
helped to demonstrate the intended learning outcomes of their
language courses. With the use of technological tools, students'
progress is monitored and acted upon by concerned individuals like

132 1
I
the teachers, the parents, and the school as a whole. S

2. Promotes active learning


Instructional materials are expected to help promote active
learning. Through the use of interactive technological tools, learning
interest is stimulated and students' focus is redirected. By this,
students and teachers will be highly engaged in the learning process.
The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) cited
by Barron (2002) gave the following descriptions of a learning
environment that uses, interactive technologies:
Traditional Learning Environment
Environment
Teacher-centered instruction I Student-centered learning

Single-sense stimulation Multisensory stimulation

Single-path progression Multipath progression

Single media Multimedia

Isolated work Collaborative work

Information delivery Information exchange

Passive learning Active, exploratory, inquiry-based learning

Critical thinking and informed decision-


Factual, knowledge-based learning
making

Reactive response Proactive/planned action

Isolated, artificial context Authentic, real-world content

3. Develops critical thinking


Technological tools and instructional materials must be designed
and implemented in such a way that they help develop critical
thinking skillsamong the learners. According to Barron et al. (2002),
the structure and use of technology can promote higher-level thinking
skills. They further stated that some technological tools are designed
to encourage problem-solving skills.
4. Accommodates differentiated instruction
Studeits have diverse backgrounds and have diverse intelligences
and learning styles. They learn in different ways. They express
their thoughts and ideas also differently. Consequently, instructional
materials and tools must be of help to the teacher to facilitate his or
her classes considering the different profiles of the students. There
must also be an opportunity for individualized and independent
learning with collaborative and cooperative learning.

Module 4 - Producing Learning Resources Using Technology Tools


Lesson 1 - Characteristics of Appropriate Instructional Materials in Language Teaching
133
5. Motivating
The use of instructional materials is a big help for the teacher to
facilitate the teaching-learning process. The use of these materials
is expected to motivate the students to pay attention and actively
participate. With the ubiquity and variety of educational tools
available to language teachers, selecting the most appropriate and
best format. is very critical to stimulate learner motivation.
6; Multisensory
One of the biggest challenges among teachers is to prepare
for instructional materials that are multisensory. With he advent
of technological tools developed by very good programmers,
multimedia are available that allow teachers to just learn how to use
them the maxium in the teaching of their lessons.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL)


The concept of UDL is a very importat coimept in preparing
instructional tools in language teaching. The concept stemmed originally
from the IJD principles, as well as from research in neuroscience on
how the brain learns (Rose & Meyer 2002). According to Dalton et al.
(2019), universal design for learning applies the concepts of accessibility
and inclusion beyond physical environments, to design teaching and
learning opportunities in ways that are varied, accessible and engaging
for all students, including those with differing needs and/or disabilities.
In this way, appealing to the broadest range of diversity in our student
populations, the framework of UDL strives to remove discriminatory
practices, as the learning needs of most students are taken into account
when instruction is designed.
Professional practitioners and academicians were able to share their
thoughts about .UDL principles. These principles are very important for
us to appreciate how we can integrate the concept in our ICT-pedagogy
integration.
A. National Disability Authority (2020)
The National Disability Authority cited the following 7 Principles
of Universal Design which were developed by Ronald Mace and
group in North Carolina State University.

Principle 1: Equitable Use

Activity 2
Making Table, Graphs, and Charts Using Web-based Applications
Step 1: Exploring Apps for Making Table, Graphs, and Charts
Explore the different applications on developing charts, tables, and
graphs that were represented earlier.

Step 2: Using the Software Applications


You explore and learned how to use the software applications in
making graphs and charts, Think of your language lesson plan and
identify data that you have to present using charts or graphs. Develop
your graphs or charts for presentation.
In preparing your graphs and charts, you need to consider the
following:
a. your lesson objectives;
b. your target audience;
c. the role of the charts in conveying your message;
d. how you will present the charts; and
e. the best type of chart or graph with which to present the
information.

Step 3: Presenting Developed Graphs and Charts


You will be asked to pair with a classmate and share your graphs and
charts with one another. After this, share your graphs and charts with the
rest of the group.
During the graphs and charts sharing, try to compare your graphs and
charts with the other pairs and identify the best presentation and reflect
why such is the case.
To check further on your graphs and charts, consider the following:
a. Can you and your students easily understand the chart or the
graph?
b. Was the message that you wanted to convey the message
conveyed?
c. Are all the essential information provided by the charts and
the graphs?
d. Is the chart or graph positioned in the document properly?
