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-a-vis the ICT tools and a
short description of how these were used.
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 record, and a reporter.
STEP 3: Reporting
To allow everybody in the class to learn from the small 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-leaning 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.
Various educators and researchers provided the following concepts and principles about
integrating technology in instruction:
2
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.
Effective integration of technology is achieved when students are able to select technology
tools to help them obtain information in a timely manner, 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.
ICT integration encompasses an integral part of broader curriculum reforms which include
both infra-structural as well as pedagogical considerations that are changing not only how learning
occurs but what is learned.
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.
Before you can successfully integrate ICTs in your language instruction, there is a need
to have a good grasp of what Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is all about.
3
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 (podcasting, audio and video players and
storage devices) and telephony (fixed or mobile, satellite, visio/video-conferencing, etc.)
4. Ratheeswari (2018)
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-a-vis the five events are specific teaching strategies, learning action; or experiences,
related media form, examples of non-computer based activity, and examples of computer-based
activity.

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 in the study
comprised three intact classes from a foundation course at a Saudi university. The three skills
addressed consisted of the use of past tense to describe past events and form wh-questions, as
part of grammatical competence, and writing a letter of complaint, as part 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’ perception 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, two 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.
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.
Interaction
with content
Pedagogy
Interaction

Social Interaction Technology

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 will 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 leaning 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 are
now connected world-wide. With the advent of computer-mediated 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 meaningfully, the social
design of the ICT-based learning environment needs to deliver a secure and comfortable space.
This will allow the learners top 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 21st 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.
7
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-pedagogy 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.
Having a society that is increasingly based on information and knowledge and with the
ubiquity of Information .and Communication Technology (ICT) for instruction; UNESCO was able
to develop ICT Competence Framework for Teachers (UNESCO, 2018).
8
This framework, which is a part of a range of initiatives by the UN and its specialized
agencies including UNESCO, aims to promote educational reform and sustainable economic
development anchored on the principles and objectives of the Millennium Development Goals
(MDG), Education for All (EFA), the UN Literacy Decade (TJNLD), 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 ale 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 do 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.

Learning Competencies
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 on 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 4 th quarter. It will be assessed
using journalistic standards for content and organization and related grammar
rules. Ultimately, students will appreciate the role of journalism in keeping the

Content Standard:
The leaner demonstrates understanding of how world literatures and other text types serve
as vehicles of expressing and resolving conflicts among individuals or groups and also how to
use strategies in critical reading, listening, and viewing, and affirmation ,and negation markers` to
deliver impromptu and extemporaneous speeches.
Performance Standard:
This learning plan aims to find cultural symbolisms used in a story. Deduce the meaning
of the symbolisms to understand the deeper meaning of the narrations. The students will first view
a video and read the story, "We Filipinos are Mild Drinkers" By Alejandro R. Roces. After the film
viewing, the students will find the symbolisms used in the story and deduce the meaning of the
symbolisms they found to get the deeper meaning of this short story. The students will identify
some gaps and/or points to improve from the video, according to their arguments, create a video
commentary of five members. This project will be done outside class hours.

Unit summary
In this Unit, you will compare and contrast the different types of poetry; know the elements
of poetry; apply the uses of word order and word formation in daily conversation; and the proper
usage of ellipsis, slash, capitalization and interjection. Moreover, you will be able to explore the
divisions of poetry and the difference of prose from poetry. But more than just activating your
intellectual ability, you are led to participate in a speech choir using verbal and non-verbal
strategies (hand, face, and body), enabling you to listen with understanding, speak precisely and
assuredly, and write coherently and clearly. Leaning will not be fun if there's no spice. Technology
is one of those spices, indeed. Some of the activities are creating a poem and will dramatize it
using a movie maker and describing yourselves through a poem with the aid of Microsoft word.
These will enhance your creativity, teamwork, resourcefulness, etc. Moreover, you will record
your speech choir (poetry recital) using verbal and non-verbal strategies. Also, you will answer
some of the quizzes through the use of different online venues like Edmodo and Schoology. You
will maximize the appropriate use of multimedia by listening and viewing activities such as
watching a video clip to support the existing information gathered during the discussions.
