The Benefits of Using Computers for English Teachers

The Benefits of Using Computers for English Teachers


Computers are being used in classrooms for instruction in composition, literature, decoding, reading comprehension, spelling, vocabulary, grammar, usage, punctuation, capitalization, brainstorming, planning, reasoning, outlining, reference use, study skills, rhetoric, handwriting, drama, and virtually every other area of language arts. There are also programs specifically designed for preschool, primary, upper elementary, middle school, high school, and college students, as well as students in adult, English has a second language, foreign language, bilingual, and special needs classes.
Below are some benefits of Computer for English Teacher:
1.      Computers as Tutors. For English teacher computers be can individualize instruction, provide learning material at controlled pace, and record student progress.
2.      Computers as Tools. In this section for English teacher computers aid in reading, allow students to produce and format texts easily, facilitate revision of texts, and check for spelling errors. They store in a compact and easily accessible form all sorts of information that learners need, from style sheets to encyclopedic data.
3.      Computer as Ways to explore language. Teacher and student make the regularities, the beauties, and the difficulties of language something that students can examine and interact within new ways.
4.      Computers as Media. In this section computers make possible new modes of communication and "hypertexts," or "hypermedia," which allow the intermixing of tables, charts, graphs, pictures, sounds, video, and text. We can use it for making media presentation to increase the student interest and student outcomes.
5.      Computers as Environments for communication. They are a new social realm that permits new forms of meaningful communication and reconfigures the relationships among students and teachers.
As a teacher, actually English teacher we must be aware toward developing of technology especially computers. It is not possible to present a survey of computer use within each of these roles that is both comprehensive and brief. Instead, this report presents some representative uses as a way of suggesting possible directions. Because computer use is still rapidly evolving, the examples represent categories of applications, not necessarily formal research studies on classroom effectiveness. There should be more such studies, for the few that exist highlight the diversity of the impact, positive and negative, that computers may have.
