Information and
Communication Technology or mostly known as ICT are tools that can be used to
support and helps the teaching-learning process in education. Technological
tools such as computers, communications facilities and features have been
helping us a lot in increasing the quality of education. It makes the teaching
activities easier, it saves our time and energy because we can do it wherever
we are as long as we have the tools and the network access to the internet.
In the State University
of Makassar, we have some ICT tools to do ELF learning and teaching. One of the
newest platforms is SYAM-OK. This system allows lecturers to create classes and
register the students. The materials also can be uploaded there with the tasks
so the students can access it easily. The management of data and assessment
also easier to do with the existence of this ICT. Before this SYAM-OK, UNM
actually has been using LMS as ICT tools to make the teaching and learning
process more effective.
Using ICT in teaching
English is a new model that we have to adapt to this era especially as English
Education student. ICT is an innovative teaching tool which enhancing ELF
learning and teaching. Technology is able to be applied in teaching practices
such as by using a computer, internet, mobile phones, video games and music
players. Those tools that have provided by ICT are raising motivation and
language awareness. The technology also has to provide the teachers with many
ways to make teaching materials. ELF teachers only have to choose how they will
deliver their materials. There are many facilities and availability, for
example, the teachers are able to use more interesting presentation in
delivering the materials with the combination of visual and listening
materials, text with graphics and pictures. The implementation of ICT into EFL
provides flexible and diverse technological tools which are really having a big
role in teaching English.
The process of
learning ICT is by discovering it first after that we learn how to use it. If
we are already able to use it we have to understand to use the tools to reach certain
purposes so it can totally help us. The example of ICT tools that we can use
is Zoom, Youtube, and a lot of stuff that we can find on the internet.
