Study Notes
Theoretical Knowledge - 1
- Popular terms include advantages and disadvantages of PPT/TELL, TPACK features and common terms, fonts, colors, pictures, layouts, and templates.
ICT in Teaching English
- Main focus areas include principles of designing PPT lessons, TPACK framework principles, pros and cons of ICT, PowerPoint game shows (animation, slides, functions), online tools (Kahoot, Duolingo, gimkit), video lessons (requirements, criteria), and AI tools (pros/cons, functions).
Technology in Language Teaching
- Computer-assisted language learning (CALL) emerged in the early 1980s, using computer programs for tasks like filling in gaps, matching sentence halves, and multiple-choice activities.
- CALL evolved, incorporating the internet and web-based tools, leading to the term Technology Enhanced Language Learning (TELL).
Attitudes to Technology
- Many people are wary of new technology, leading to the term "technophobe."
- The term "digital native" refers to people who grew up using technology.
- Conversely, "digital immigrants" are those who adopted technology later in life.
- Most people fall somewhere between these two extremes.
Benefits of PPT/TELL Lessons
- PPT/TELL lessons are visually appealing due to colors, pictures, and games, engaging students' interest and enhancing creativity.
- They are convenient for saving, editing, reviewing, and reusing knowledge.
- They reduce the need for reprinting materials and minimize the use of chalk.
Risks Associated with PPT/TELL
- Some educators might lack the necessary skills to effectively use PPTs and computers.
- Excessive focus on PPT activities might overshadow other interactive in-class activities.
- Overuse of PPT features (pictures, videos, effects) can potentially bore students.
- Technical issues such as equipment failure or file corruption may pose problems.
Aspects to Consider for Effective PPT/TELL Lessons
- Educators should use technology thoughtfully and not over-rely on it.
- Picked knowledge should be used efficiently for effective teaching.
- Combining traditional and technological teaching methods is crucial.
- Effective slides should be simple and avoid excessive use of effects.
- Maintain a clear outline and correct language use.
- Employ technology effectively instead of relying on it excessively.
Fonts, Colors, Pictures, Layouts
- Use clear, legible fonts like Arial, Calibri, and Helvetica.
- Choose fonts sizes (titles 40-50 pt; text 18-30 pt) suitable for viewing distance.
- Use contrasting colors for text and background for better readability.
- Stick to a consistent color scheme.
- Incorporate high-quality, relevant images to support content; avoid using images solely for decoration.
- Ensure you have the necessary rights for using images. Use royalty-free/Creative Commons images or original content to avoid copyright issues.
Layouts
- Consistent layout gives presentation a cohesive professional look.
- Avoid overcrowding slides to ensure clarity and maintain white space.
- Use sufficient white space to allow focus on key points.
- Utilize pre-designed templates for quicker start-ups.
- Custom templates provide greater control over fonts, colors, and layout.
TPACK Framework
- Interplay of technological (TK), pedagogical (PK) and content knowledge (CK).
- Technology (tools, applications) can be useful for imparting content and pedagogy.
- The framework stresses the importance of content and pedagogy, and technology supports these.
- Technological Knowledge (TK) involves teachers' knowledge of and experience with technology.
- Pedagogical Knowledge (PK) involves teachers' knowledge of effective teaching methods.
- Content Knowledge (CK) involves teachers' in-depth understanding of the subject matter.
- Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) concerns combining content with teaching methods and adjusting for student learning styles.
- Technological Content Knowledge (TCK) is the understanding of how technology and content interact.
- Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK) outlines how technology impacts teaching and learning.
- Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) represents the intersection of all three domains (technology, pedagogy, and content).
Key Features of a PowerPoint Gameshow
- Exciting presentation design (animation)
- Efficiency and effectiveness
- Compatibility with devices
- Pedagogical approaches to utilize them effectively.
