Technology in Language Education: Benefits and Barriers

Tecnologia na Educação de Línguas: Benefícios e Barreiras

A variety of e-learning technologies are available for use in educational programs. In many parts of the world, education ministries and universities have invested much effort into increasing the use of the web in all its forms (for example, e-books, simulations, text messaging, podcasting. wikis, and blogs) to meet the demands of competitive markets and to bring a variety of learning choices to their learners. It has been reported that the advent of new technology has a positive influence on both learners and teachers (Mansor 2001).

Uma variedade de tecnologias de e-learning estão disponíveis para uso em programas educacionais. Em muitas partes do mundo, ministérios da educação e universidades têm investido muito esforço para aumentar o uso da web em todas as suas formas (por exemplo, e-books, simulações, mensagens de texto, podcasting, wikis e blogs) para atender às demandas de mercados competitivos e trazer uma variedade de escolhas de aprendizagem para seus alunos. Foi relatado que o advento de novas tecnologias tem uma influência positiva tanto nos alunos quanto nos professores (Mansor 2001).

Researchers (Friggard 2002; Miner 2004; Timucin 2006) have demonstrated that technology boosts the development of teaching methods as well as students' knowledge. Lam and Lawrence (2002) claim that technology provides learners with regulation of their own learning process and easy access to information the teacher may not be able to provide. The potentially positive side of incorporating technology has encouraged foreign language educators to apply its advantages to enhance pedagogical practices. However, the integration of technology in the classroom cannot be devoid of problems. Several studies have documented the advantages of technology for language learning. While the advantages of technology use are often reported, it would be naive to expect technology use to transform language teaching or learning without first encountering and overcoming some barriers.

Pesquisadores (Friggard 2002; Miner 2004; Timucin 2006) demonstraram que a tecnologia impulsiona o desenvolvimento de métodos de ensino, bem como o conhecimento dos alunos. Lam e Lawrence (2002) afirmam que a tecnologia fornece aos alunos a regulação de seu próprio processo de aprendizagem e acesso fácil a informações que o professor pode não ser capaz de fornecer. O lado potencialmente positivo da incorporação da tecnologia encorajou os educadores de línguas estrangeiras a aplicar suas vantagens para aprimorar as práticas pedagógicas. No entanto, a integração da tecnologia na sala de aula não pode ser isenta de problemas. Vários estudos documentaram as vantagens da tecnologia para o aprendizado de línguas. Embora as vantagens do uso da tecnologia sejam frequentemente relatadas, seria ingênuo esperar que o uso da tecnologia transforme o ensino ou o aprendizado de línguas sem primeiro encontrar e superar algumas barreiras.

Findings from empirical research and the literature showed that technology integration in language teaching is advocated for a variety of reasons. Awareness of the barriers to and advantages of technology in enhancing teaching certainly has implications for teacher education. Further, teachers new to technology-based learning and teaching need to understand their changed roles and responsibilities in the new modality of learning and teaching. At the same time, teachers need to bear in mind that it is pedagogy, not technology that determines learning effectiveness. To make a successful transition from traditional pedagogy to technology-enriched instruction, teachers need to alter their teaching approaches to achieve effective teaching.

Descobertas de pesquisas empíricas e da literatura mostraram que a integração da tecnologia no ensino de línguas é defendida por uma variedade de razões. A conscientização das barreiras e vantagens da tecnologia no aprimoramento do ensino certamente tem implicações para a educação de professores. Além disso, professores novos no ensino e aprendizagem baseados em tecnologia precisam entender seus papéis e responsabilidades alterados na nova modalidade de ensino e aprendizagem. Ao mesmo tempo, os professores precisam ter em mente que é a pedagogia, não a tecnologia, que determina a eficácia da aprendizagem. Para fazer uma transição bem-sucedida da pedagogia tradicional para a instrução enriquecida com tecnologia, os professores precisam alterar suas abordagens de ensino para atingir um ensino eficaz.

(A) Timucin's research (2006) suggests that the introduction of technology in education has significantly exacerbated the existing problems in the education sector, leading to a decline in students' overall academic performance.

(B) Despite the overwhelming evidence pointing to the benefits of technology in education, it's crucial to recognize that its integration isn't without its share of challenges and setbacks, as numerous studies have highlighted.

(C) Lam and Lawrence (2002) argue that incorporating technology into education primarily benefits teachers, as it offers them an easier route to access supplementary information that they might not be able to provide otherwise, thereby diminishing the need for student-teacher interaction.

(D) According to various studies conducted by experts like Friggard and Miner, it's widely acknowledged that technological advancements have substantially hampered the traditional teaching methods and have led to a decline in students' comprehension.

(E) Mansor's study in 2001 emphasizes that the primary motivation behind incorporating technology in education is to cater to the demands of the competitive market, rather than to genuinely enhance the learning experience for students.

Lam e Lawrence (2002) argumentam que incorporar a tecnologia na educação beneficia principalmente os professores, pois oferece a eles uma rota mais fácil para acessar informações suplementares que eles não seriam capazes de fornecer de outra forma, diminuindo assim a necessidade de interação aluno-professor.

(D) According to various studies conducted by experts like Friggard and Miner, it's widely acknowledged that technological advancements have substantially hampered the traditional teaching methods and have led to a decline in students' comprehension.

De acordo com vários estudos conduzidos por especialistas como Friggard e Miner, é amplamente reconhecido que os avanços tecnológicos prejudicaram substancialmente os métodos tradicionais de ensino e levaram a um declínio na compreensão dos alunos.
