Alejandra Carolina Amaya Valle



Week : 7 This week I read the articles “Using Internet-Based Children's Literature to Teach EFL (TESL_TEFL)” and “Using the Internet in ESL Writing Instruction (TESL_TEFL).”


Rate :5



Something I learned and that I immediately wanted to share with all of you was about the use of technology in skills such as writing, and reading. The article analyzes the big importance the internet bring us as a teacher helping as a teaching medium over the students are taught how to write different writing genres.

In this article is shown how to apply writting skills in order to make the writing more attractive, and authentic.

The author says something that caught my attention, he mentions that we have to take into account these strageries and not just spend the time having fun or playing but teache them how to improve this area of writing.

The article encourages teachers to look different strageries to make learners to get involve in this skill that is not easy to to apply it because for some students is boring and for others is a big challenge that makes them get frustrated..for writing is an important issue in which we can keep students interested using technology. Websites, blogs, e-mails, and letters are strategies to make students feel attracted to the writing skill. We can start by let them writing something about their, describe things, make cards, etc. We have the creativity to motivate students to learn writing in many ways by using technology. Remember that as a teachers we have the control to make a good use applying this beautiful and helpul tool called internet.

Finalley,the other article makes reference in the big importance that reading has. As everybody knows, nowadays, students are not interested in read on contrary, they prefer to read just the summary of books or whatever thing they have to read.The author says that our labor as a teachers is to look for methods to make students get interested in the literature. teachers have the challenge to create a habit in children, teens and adults. this could be with the help of animations, colors and all that can catch their attention.
