The Present Situation of Using Computer-assisted English TeachingComputer-assisted

23、English teaching is the trend of times that it is used by every primary school, middle school and university in our country. Except some schools of faraway village, because they dont have enough money, but more and more school are using computer in their classrooms now. “The number of teachers using

Although the potential of the Internet for educational use has not been fully explored yet and the average school still makes limited use

25、of computers, it is obvious that we have entered a new Information Age.” (Kuang-Wu Lee,2002)“For example, in the past decade, numerous academics have examined the application of computer-assisted English teaching in Taiwan classroom.

26、ormous potential of special interest is the realization that CAET may be especially useful in the Taiwan situation where writing students are ofter at a low level of skill attainment and class size is large.” (Li Ming, 1988)Because of the economic situations in different areas are different, it is i

27、mpossible that every primary school; middle school and university in our country.

29、puter-assisted English teaching.

Computer-assisted English tea

30、ching is the inevitably tendency of English teaching development. It has essential difference from traditional English teaching. The CAET emphasizes the improvement of teaching method and lead students to draw assistance from computer to learn English, combine with teaching content, teaching process

31、 and computer assist to obtain best learning result.4.2 The Special Features of Computer-assisted English Teaching4.2.1 Show Large Capacity of Non-sequential Messages.Computer can store an abundance of messages. It may include courses or knowledge connected with a certain object; learners can skin t

32、hrough all knowledge and choose the part that they are interested in to learn. At first, they can learn step by step or jump to any part teachers assigned.4.2.2 Students Can Control the Learning Context and Learning Speed Themselves.Usually, the CAI system permits to choose teaching content, when st

33、udents master the first part completely, computers prompt them to enter the next part. In this way, students learning progress will not be limited by time or place. They can control their learning speed.4.2.3 Teaching According to Each Students Reality.Through mutual activity, such as raising questi

34、ons, making judgment, the CAI system can analyze each students ability and learning condition, and adjust learning course automatically. By this way, computer can teach according to individual student and give them immediate feedback.4.2.4 Make Students Learn Enthusiastically.In CAI system, students

35、 control the speed of teaching and learning. Computers contain several mutual activities, such as sequentially raising questions.

36、e interrupted as in passive learning course.

Actually using a computer in an English class is as easy as using a re

37、corder. In very short time, many teachers handle it masterfully. They use it to deal with some difficult and dull jobs, such as recode the students achievement, check the objective exercises. Its practical and convenient.4.3 Computer Can Help Students to Read and Write.4.3.1 Computer Can Help Studen

38、ts to ReadIn English reading class, computer should focus on meaning and stress reading comprehension.Learners should have opportunities to work with whole, meaningful texts. Programs that offer learners a chance to process large chunks of related text, rather than bits and pieces of unrelated langu

39、age fragments, allow students to use and extend what they know about reading comprehension. Also to work with word-recognition programs that stresses the use of word meanings in conjunction with phonics and structural analysis. Care must be taken to make sure that, when programs feature the study of

40、 individual words and phrases, they are offered within a contextual framework that helps them make sense to the learner. Assessment programs for teachers should also be provided in meaningful context.In English reading class, computer should foster students active involvement and stimulate their thi

41、nking.Learners should have opportunities to discuss the purpose of the computer task or program as well as its nature. They should be aware not only of what they are supposed to do but also of why doing it is important, to make decisions that control or influence the computer task. Programs that bui

42、ld in opportunities for students to make choices and test predictions help them learn to think and act on their own rather than merely react to someone elses thinking, to monitor their own learning. Tasks that offer students opportunities to self-check and correct their own errors support the develo

43、pment of independent learners.In English reading class, computer should support and extend students knowledge of text structures.Learners should have opportunities to encounter a wide variety of text structures upon which to apply and refine their comprehension skill. A variety of narrative and expo

44、sitory structures should be provided. Commercially prepared, teacher-authored, and student-authored materials should also be included. Reading instruction can take place through all kinds of computer-based materials, not merely those designated specifically for that purpose, to experiment with text

45、in creative ways to suit their purposes. When students reorganize a story or an informational piece on the computer, they are employing and strengthening what they know about the structure of texts.In English reading class, computer should link reading and writing.Learners should have opportunities

46、to create text with the computer for sharing and use with others. When students input information into the computer for someone else to retrieve and use, they must compose with the reader in mind. This frequently involves making explicit use of what they know about what makes a text comprehensible.

47、Revision and proofreading strategies clearly involve the combined application or reading and writing skills.4.3.2 Computer Can Help Students to WriteComputer for writing help students with developing ideas, organizing, outlining, and brainstorming.
