As the second decade of the 21st century begins, professional development on computer literacy becomes essential for teachers. Many educators are not yet aware of the variety of applications that new technologies offer or the way in which they can be used to encourage students to produce creative pieces of work. This seminar will introduce an array of internet resources that can be applied to the teaching of English and that can motivate students’ use of new technologies in a creative way to support their learning.

The aim of this seminar is to raise educator's awareness of the latest web 2.0 applications that can be used both in and outside the classroom, including blogs, wikis, social networks and, above all, the numerous interactive tools that may be applied to their lessons.

It is very common to hear teachers complaining, claiming their students do not listen to them. They are absolutely right! They do NOT listen to us! It is up to us teachers to catch their attention again.

THE USE OF INTERNET BY ESL TEACHERS IN BS AS

2008-11-16T10:39:00.000-08:00

The Internet has come to play a significant role in numerous aspects of people’s lives. The arms of the World Wide Web have reached the teaching of languages and the schooling of English in particular. Nevertheless, innumerable EFL (English as a Foreign Language) lessons are still taught using old traditional resources and not yet applying this new tool. We have carried out some research which purports to examine the extent to which teachers of English in Buenos Aires perceive the use of the Internet as an instrumental pedagogical tool. In order to collect data for this study, secondary school teachers from Buenos Aires and Great Buenos Aires were presented with a questionnaire which focused on the degree to which they considered the Internet a beneficial tool when applied to teaching. Other issues that we explored were the educators’ Internet expertise and the frequency with which they applied the Internet or Internet resources to their teaching practices. The results revealed that a large number of the surveyed educators are conversant with the basic Internet resources and most of them consider the Internet as a highly beneficial tool. Nevertheless, even though most teachers declared to be acquainted with a great array of Internet resources, a very small number of the teachers interviewed appear to make real use of these resources as part of their teaching on a regular basis.
