As part
of the Course work for the BEd programme of the University of Kerala, trainees
are expected to be familiar with more than half a dozen modern language
teaching methods. By the time the trainees complete their Practice Teaching, a
majority of them become familiar with the ways of engaging classes using
technological gadgets. But impressions drawn from trainees on completion of the
month-long spell of Practice Teaching revealed
that many were unaware of ways of integrating technology for the
different methods they were expected to be familiar with at
the end of the BEd course.
It is
an accepted fact that many trainees who complete the BEd programme will be
taking up appointment in institutions
that make a profuse use of techno-based instructional practices. So it becomes
imperative to familiarize prospective teaches with techno–based pedagogical
strategies for modern ELT methods.
Recently
while teaching BEd trainees, to address the growing need to become familiar with techno-pedagogy, a techno-based ELT methodology scrutinizing session
was organized in a workshop mode. The objective
was to develop in trainees the ability to identify appropriate digital learning
materials and techno-based pedagogic
strategies for teaching a given content.
* The ‘techno-based ELT methodology scrutinizing
workshop’ was found to be extremely useful....Perhaps you too can give it a try...
