Last year, I went for an ICT workshop where the Mathematic lesson uses the MS Excel to teach the pupils on bar and pie graphs. It could be easily seen how that lesson would be engaging for the pupils as the use of Excel allows the pupils to visualise changes in the graphs when changes are made to the input data. Pupils learn how to communicate their results and data via graphical representations.
How about a language classroom then? How could ICT help? Language is a form of communication. Thus, anyone who uses IT as a form of communication would need to use the language. ICT could then serve as an authentic resource in the classroom in which pupils learn how language is used in the real world. At the same time, it also allows them to practise using the language in real life contexts.
