Computers in Education
Recently, computers have become very helpful in the classroom. More schools have
computer technologies and the Internet to help their pupils to learn new and interesting
information. It is useful not only for the teaching of such subjects as physics, maths, chemistry,
biology and geography, but also for practicing foreign languages, especially English.
There are different ways of using computers in the English language classroom. First of
all, most of the material on the Internet is in English. Pupils can see examples of real-life
communication, find out about the use of the grammar and vocabulary they are learning in their
lessons and find many online articles in a quick way. Secondly, pupils learn a lot about people
and places. In addition, they can read texts on the websites, play videos, solve quizzes and join
discussion groups. These are only some of the options available for pupils.
The Internet can also be useful for teachers because it gives them many ideas for making
their lessons attractive. It has popular dictionary sites, web pages with information about
English-speaking countries and attractive collections of exercises written by other teachers from
various parts of the world. In other words, it helps teachers to make their lessons more
challenging and interesting for pupils.
It is not very difficult to make pupils use the computers for learning purposes. Most
pupils would love to have at least one lesson a week to surf the Internet.
