We can see that the role of technology in education is continuously expanding from projecters to smart boards and enabling better interaction between teachers and students in the classroom.          

                                                            Every day we see that various aspects of technology becoming an inherents part of the educational experience for students, teachers, parents, and managements. So, here I am going write about My academic blog. This was my thinking Activity is given by my professor Dr. Dilip barad sir from Department of English Bhavnagar University.

Introduction

                          Using technology in education brings a huge change. It is a shift from Theosis to Praxix. Means with technology we can become more aware about the practical outcome rather than remaining only on the theoretical basis. Whatever we are learning must need some kind of practice. For example, earlier there were computer classes in  schools. But it was totally theory based, there were no practices on computer screen, even  the exam was given in the answer sheet by making charts of keyboard and other functional things. Hence, education fails because when student come in contact with the computer at job place they were not able to start it or work on it. With the moving of time technology and its use becomes the base of education. One cannot completely rely on old traditional method of teaching. The student learn easily with technical tools, like laptop, projector, mobile. They get things properly without much revision. If we see students who are learning in traditional method, then we can find that they are not able to catch things with one reading, but if the same thing is taught by showing them video then they can get it at one sight. With technology we can learn more things than with books only because technical tools can search worldwide example at the same time of our reading. Books were not able to do changes regarding the present time on the spot. These all things make technology useful in the education field. Sir as given his blog to manny videos like..

                   There is big difference between 'Using' and 'Integrating' technology. Using technology means sometimes teacher use technology for teaching but in integrating technology students also be a part of it, in other words we can say that integrating means a medium of teaching and learning. Through integrating technology students can build up their creative thinking. Technology is used to deliver information while in integrating, technology is used to construct and build knowledge. In using technology teacher teaching the contents and put his or her views while in integrating technology students also can put their views and ideas along with teacher. At last we can say that using technology is teacher center and integrating technology is student center.

warm - Up Session :- Technology And Education

Hello readers!

                          Here I would like to wrote about Technology in education. And the question on ' Can technology replace teacher? We can see that' Use of technology in education is one of those Methods that will help improve the quality of education in India. So lats start...

Introduction 

                        The covid - 19 has changed the view of education around the world. During the mid - march all the schools and colleges were shut down to save faculties and students from infection. It has been around lock down. Still we are fighting with Covid - 19. The doors of educational institutions are closed. But learning isn't stop. But with the help technology everything is possible, and our Department of English always follow process is going with the help of technology. So here I would like to wrote about the question " How can technology replace teacher? And the second" What shall teachers do so that they are not replaceable by technology? So lates write. 

" Can technology replace teacher?" 

      

                                About my opinion Technology cannot replace Teacher's. Technology is merely an augmentation to a teachers. It can help the process of learning, but it certainly cannot replace the role of the teachers. Technology can make it easy to get education by sitting at home but that education too is provided by a teachers. 

                      We can see that role of technology in education is continuously expanding form projecters to smart boards and enabling better interaction between teachers and students in the classroom. Every day we see that various aspects of technology be coming an inherents part of the educational experience for students, teachers, parents, and managements. 

                          Technology has the ability to enhumance relationship between teachers and students. When teachers effectively Integrate technology into subject areas, teachers grow into roles of advisors, cantent expert and coach. Technology helps make teaching and learning more meaningful and fun. But, as of now, it does not have the power of replace teachers because human interaction cannot human skills cannot be taught by technology. 

# What shall teachers do so that they are not replaceable by technology?

We can assume that teachers are replaced by technology in upcoming technological life. But without a teacher we aren't able to learn life skills. We can get much more knowledge through technology but not be able to gather life skills which is also very important.

                            Hear into the my task is there is one blog link and video and quiz by Dilip barad sir. He was include two videos and from satymev jayte TV program in star plus. 

                             Here this video is reflect to how the technology is helpful to our life. Many people are not idea about how to Teach in the online platform. Though the good network students can be able to learn and development their self. Teacher are teaching them from far distance and they are able to learn their rural areas. So technology can be very helpful to many of changes of the delay life. 

                                In this time we can see that many of Children's also know how to use technology like mobile, laptops, tablets, How to search in Google web and also Manny things. He is got salvation own his and go live through using technology. It all about to learn from mother's womb. 

Conclusion 

                       We know that technology cam be take place in education but not can replace teacher. Technology can make it easy to get educated by sitting at home but that education too is provided by a teachers.

Introduction :- the role of literature as a basic component. English teaching today has evolved around the primary emphasis on its viability as a communication skill to help acquire jobs, promote business interests or provide various forms of entertainments. Teaching language through literature  Another perspective that strengthens the argument of the advocates of teaching English without any affiliation with its literature, borders on the fact that the world today needs English for Special Purposes – for the understanding of scientific or technical vocabulary specific to different subjects of interest to the learners. English has been commonly attributed to the teaching methods as used and adopted by language teachers. Our main concern as teachers and teacher trainers is not to teach about language, but to develop learners’ abilities to make them capable of using the language for a variety of communicative purposes. But there is a difference between teaching about the language and communicating in the language. 

                     Teaching language through literature help teachers first to acquaint themselves with language use to develop their own competence and understand language as a social phenomenon, and not as an exclusive branch of learning. And another thing is that it transforms the classrooms as the stage in which there is real practice of communicative language. And also help teachers to consider language as entailing social acceptability in other words; they can look to classroom language as carrying resemblance with the outside language. And As a result, this would raise communication to the level of a social responsibility.

What is literature? 

                    Literature is a term used to describe written or spoken material. Broadly speaking, "literature" is used to describe anything from creative writing to more technical or scientific works, but the term is most commonly used to refer to works of the creative imagination, including works of poetry, drama, fiction, and nonfiction.

• Why and What Literature Is Useful in Language Learning?

              Teaching Language Through Literature to use of literature as a technique for teaching both basic language skills example for reading, writing, listening, and speaking and language areas example for vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation is very popular within the field of foreign language learning and teaching nowadays and in translation courses, many language teachers make their students translate literary texts like drama, poetry and short stories into the mother tongue.

                Literature is used and different context. Example for focus on teaching language and language learning purpose vs. academic analytical purpose and linguistic orientation vs. literary critical orientation and learning how to study literature vs. studying literature.

             Literature offers a wide range of language structures, which can enhance our understanding of the range of language usages. This understanding a direct impact on the learner’s ability to learn and use language not for mechanical responses but for the expression and response of those thoughts and ideas which would have stifled  in the brain in the absence of rich language resources. Literature work in such a situation becomes a vehicle for language learning.

• Using Literary Texts in Foreign Language Classes.

           Literature is authentic material and most works of literature are not created for the primary purpose of teaching a language. But many authentic samples of language in real-life contexts example for newspaper or magazine and articles are included within recently developed course materials. Thus, in a classroom context, learners are exposed to actual language samples of real life and real life like settings. And students have also to cope with language intended for native speakers, they become familiar with many different linguistic forms, communicative functions and meanings.

Cultural Enrichment

              For many language learners.  The ideal way to increase their understanding of Verbal and non-verbal aspects of communication in the country within which that language is spoken - a visit or an extended stay - is just not probable. For such learners, literary works like as novels, plays, or short stories etc. a novel, play, or short story is an imaginary and it presents a full and colorful setting in which characters from many social and regional backgrounds can be described. The way the characters in such literary works see the world outside example for their thoughts, feelings, customs, traditions, possessions. Literature is perhaps best regarded as a complement to other materials used to develop the foreign learner’s understanding into the country whose language is being learned. And Also literature adds a lot to the cultural grammar of the learners.

Language Enrichment

               Literature provides Learners with a wide range of individual lexical or syntactic items. Students become familiar with many features of the written language, reading a substantial and contextualized body of text. And they learn about the syntax and discourse functions of sentences, the variety of possible structures, the different ways of connecting ideas, which develop and enrich their own writing skills. They improve their communicative and cultural competence in the authentic richness, naturalness of the authentic texts.

Personal Involvement

                    Literature can be useful in the language learning process owing to the personal involvement it fosters in the reader. Once the student reads a literary text, he begins to inhabit the text. He is drawn into the text. And Understanding the meanings of lexical items or phrases becomes less significant than pursuing the development of the story. And also the student becomes enthusiastic to find out what happens as events unfold via the climax. And he feels close to certain characters and shares their emotional responses. This can have beneficial effects upon 

Whole language learning process. At this juncture, the prominence of the selection of a literary text in relation to the needs, expectations, and interests, language level of the students is evident. In this process, he can remove the identity crisis and develop into an extrovert. Some of the other reasons for regarding literature as a potent resource in the language classroom. 

Universality

                  Because we are all human beings and the themes literature deals with are common to all cultures despite their different way of treatment example for like Death, Love, Separation, Belief, Nature ... the list is familiar. These experiences all happen to human beings.

Ambiguity

                 And at last ambiguity it is highly suggestive and associative, literature speaks subtly different meanings to different people. It is rare for two readers to react identically to any given text. And in teaching. This has two advantages. And the first advantage is that each learner’s interpretation has validity within limits. The second advantage is that an almost infinite fund of interactive discussion is guaranteed since each person’s perception is different and that no two readers will have a completely convergent interpretation establishes the tension that is necessary for a genuine exchange of ideas.

Using of Different Genres of Literature to Language.

Poetry 

                Teaching language through literature Poetry can pave the way for the learning and teaching of basic language skills. And it is metaphor that is the most prominent connection between learning and poetry. And because most poetry consciously or unconsciously makes use of metaphor as one of its primary methods, poetry offers a significant learning process. There are at least two learning benefits that can be derived from studying poetry. First is that the appreciation of the writer’s composition process, which students gain by studying poems by components. And second is that Developing sensitivity for words and discoveries that may later grow into a deeper interest and greater analytical ability. But some other benefits of poetry is the educational.

Short stories 

                Teaching language through literature a Short fiction is a supreme resource for observing not only language but life itself. And In short fiction, characters act out all the real and symbolic acts people carry out in daily lives and do so in a variety of registers and tones. The world of short fiction both mirrors and illuminates human lives (Sage 1987:43). The inclusion of short fiction in the ESL / EFL curriculum offers the following educational benefits example for following educational benefits.

Drama 

                Teaching language through literature a drama in a language classroom is a good resource for language teaching. And It is through the use of drama that learners become familiar with grammatical structures in contexts and also learn about how to use the language to express, control and inform. The use of drama raises the students’ awareness towards the target language and culture. In this context, the use of drama as a tool rather than an end gains importance in teaching a foreign language. And the educational benefits of drama are that.

Novel

               Teaching language trough literature a novel is a beneficial technique for mastering not only linguistic system but also life in relation to the target language. In novel, characters reflect what people really perform in daily lives. Novels not only portray but also enlighten human lives. Using novel in a foreign language class offers the following educational benefits that.

 Conclusion:-  at last literature helps students acquire a native-like competence in English, express their ideas in good English, and learn the features of modern English, and also learn how the English linguistic system is used for communication, see how idiomatic expressions are used, speak clearly, precisely, and concisely, and become more proficient in English, as well as become creative, critical, and analytical learners. Literature is not only a tool for developing the written and oral skills of the students in the target language but also is a window opening into the culture of the target language, building up a cultural competence in students.
