RESC Badulla
Using Digital Media for Innovative Teaching of English
in the Present Sri Lankan Classroom Context
Introduction:
English
Language teaching and learning process is no longer only the traditional ‘Chalk
& Talk’ method of teaching. With the availability of new technology and
high tech-devices, it is needed to empower teachers of English in using the
available high-tech resources. That will help the country in the long run as
the future generation, without any doubt, will have to be equipped with modern
technology, irrespective of the field which the students will choose to
explore. However, in the present teaching-learning process it is not very common
to see the teachers use the digital devices in day-to-day teaching. We are in
the opinion that as teacher trainers we must promote the use of digital media
among the teachers as it brings a novel experience while being a motivational
factor for students in the classroom situation. So the activities lined up in
this workshop will focus the simple ways of using activities along with digital
devices. Most of the activities have been adapted to suit our context and a
number of online resources will be introduced to the participants. Furthermore,
this is a continuation of the session we conducted at the RESC Conference- 2015
