The use of Illustrative technologies in teaching English

to primary school learners.

In this modern society , the advent of new technologies has altered both our
life and our outlook to the world. It has been very substantial to adapt quickly to
the new system, in order not to be behind for the people who live in luxury
lifestyle.It is undeniable true that it is very tough to get well acquainted with the
latest innovations and how to operate them both quickly and efficiently .That is
why nowadays almost every branch of society or educational system requires good
understanding of new electronic devices .Additionally, they make teaching
procedure easier and more interesting so as to grab all levels learners. Especially.
It is more beneficial to utilize illustrative technologies in teaching English to
primary school learners ,whose attention span are very short and inclined to
interesting pictures or frames , which enable them to understand theme more
clearly and easier . Moreover it is absolutely vital to conduct English lessons for
primary school learners by using illustrative technologies , because it is easy way
to make young learners interest to the new language . 1 As First President I. A.
Karimov had declared in the program speech “Harmoniously development of
generation a basis of Uzbekistan”: “… all of us realize, that achievement of the
great purposes put today before us, noble aspirations it is necessary for updating a
society”. The effect and destiny of our reforms carried out in the name of progress
and the future, results of our intentions are connected with highly skilled,
conscious staff, the experts who are meeting the requirements of time.

The world in which we live is changing rapidly and the field of education is
experiencing these changes in particular as it applies to Media Services. The old
days of an educational institution having an isolated audio-visual department are
long gone! The growth in use of multimedia within the education sector has
accelerated in recent years, and looks set for continued expansion in the future.

Islam Karimov : The first lecture of ‘’ Oliy Majlis ‘’ Improving and enhancing the
quality and importance of education- 2010
 As you know technology can not be effective in the classroom without
teachers who are knowledgeable about both the technology itself and its
implementation to meet educational goals. While technology use in in the
classroom is increasing , improving learning through its application should remain
the goal. Trying to use technology more very crucial for young learners and kids
to be comfortable with it because they are going to be using it and accessibility
were heightened in during the teaching process.

In the last 5 years the English education in middle school in Uzbekistan is

well invested and assisted with various equipments. In contrast, the original
objective has not been achieved at the desired effect. The government, schools,
families, and students spend a lot of time working on improving scores, but hardly
gain practical skills. English education today has gone into the vicious circle.
Educators need to consider how to perfect the education system to improve
students’ practical ability of English. Therefore an efficient way should be used to
make the class vivid. Multimedia teaching will bring students into a class where
they can interact with the teacher and the subject. Multimedia teaching is more
intuitive than old ways; teachers can simulate situations in real life. In many
circumstances teachers don’t have to be there, students will learn by themselves in
the class. More importantly, teachers will have more approaches to stimulating
students’ passion of learning
The live lecture in the digital theater is concurrently broadcast to the remote
distance-learning site. Even home-based students may join the live session. The
ways in which users or participants in multimedia sessions access multimedia or
connect with others have important consequences for the storage and transmission
systems. For instance multimedia learning material can be accessed directly from a
server during a class or downloaded to student machines prior to a session. The
demands on a connecting network are very different in each access mode. Students
learn to make use of multimedia as an aid to retrieving information from multiple
sources such as digital libraries and multimedia servers that could support
computer-assisted learning environments. Students learn to develop multimedia
materials, especially as a component of project-based learning that is rooted in
constructivism and in cooperative learning.
In spite of being post graduated student ,I have undergone a good experience
working as a teacher for primary school learners during my practice period. I have
confronted several interesting situations, which remain unforgettable events
during my life . I utilized several illustrative technologies such as pictures colorful
frames , laptops and cards in order to have young learners interest in my lesson.
From my point of view it helps teachers to make the lesson both easier and more
interesting by using these technologies and they stifle young learners from being
passive during the class. All in all it is advisable to conduct lesson via these
modern technologies whereas, they enhance both the quality and effectiveness of
the English lessons.
