WHAT CAN THE WORLD WIDE WEB OFFER ESL/EFL TEACHERS?

As ESL/EFL teachers, we need to use several tools in order to do our teaching more understandable. Computers, for instance, are one of the most useful nowadays. As a matter of fact, we as teachers depend on such device in a certain way due to the help they provide us. World wide web which is the fast growth of the Internet which links computers all over the world into a single electronic communications network, according to the book, Methodology in Language teaching has become such the best source for ESL/EFL teachers.

Whenever a teacher is going to develop any topic he or she uses the Internet for having more creative options for developing it. On the Internet teachers can find all the topics they wish, all the pictures they need for any theme, and all the ideas that can help them for teaching. Moreover, teachers can use the several comments other people have uploaded through programs such as blogs, facebooks, bloogspots, wikis, and so forth. ESL/EFL teachers can use those opinions just to have a clearer idea about any stuff and thus the teachers can succeed in everything they do.

Furthermore, through Internet some organizations and some educative institutions can create websites and forums for teaching English as a second language. Indeed, such websites or programs are greatly helpful. In addition, nowadays there are some non presential English courses that help the teachers develop English classes for students who are not able to attend classes in an academy, so in that way teachers are teaching the language virtually and both the students and the teacher are taking advantage of the world wide web for an educative purpose.

also, we, as ESL/EFL teachers should be more conscious about the use we do of the world wide web because there is something really negative about using it, which is that teachers tend to take advantage of the source and they just look for some information on the Internet and they only copy and paste every single word they find there; nevertheless, they do not make any effort on their own. They do not even want to add any other deeper information. In fact, they get accustomed to just downloading information even if that information is not reliable.

Finally, a successful ESL/EFL teacher is the one that values and takes advantage of the amazing tools the World Wide Web offers to teachers so that he or she enhances his or her teaching process and his or her knowledge as well.
