EDTECH Innovator Artifact technology's impact on language education
Rationale
The difficulties that Japanese language learners face can impact their progress. Using one's native tongue all the time is a common problem. It's common knowledge among Japanese educators that students speak their native tongue even when they're supposed to take Japanese classes. Because of this issue, pupils who are meant to succeed in class are hindered from doing so. Several tactics and approaches have been proven to work in the classroom that educators can use to achieve their goals.
How can we encourage students to use more target language than their native language and prepare them to apply what they learned in class in real life?
Outcomes
Analyze and comprehend what is said, read, or seen.
Learn about cultural behaviors and perspectives through language.
Identify, collect, analyze, and synthesize data from a variety of sources.
To get the most out of learning and speaking a language, set goals and evaluate your progress along the way.
Tell a story or explain a notion or idea with the use of facts or concepts that you've learned.
Investigate, explain, and reflect with language to help you build your critical thinking skills.
Integrating New Technologies
Students learn more than the basics of grammar, spelling, and pronunciation when studying a foreign language. They focus on interpersonal, interpretative, and presentational communication, tying cultural practices to viewpoints, making connections, language and cultural comparisons, and the global community. With Flipgrid, students may film videos of themselves interacting in real-time.
Using Culture as a Way to Learn
As they learn the language, students should also become more culturally aware. The instructor infuses lessons with real-world cultural artifacts using Nearpod and HistoryView VR.
The instructor connects students to native speakers by having them do virtual exchanges. These interactions make students want to keep learning, but they also help them practice making phrases and sentences in the target language, which allows them to improve their skills.
Using technology in the classroom requires a careful touch. Teachers must use several activities to manage technology. Google Docs, YouTube videos, Quizlet, Kahoot!, Padlet, and the Flipgrid app are some of the student involvement activities. Engage students with these new applications and websites that provide visual learning through movies, organize student learning through group collaboration, and offer learning check-ups via games and online quizzes.
For every instructor, grabbing the attention of each student and delivering ideas clearly enough to leave a lasting impact are the most complicated challenges.
