In modern digital age the conditions of life, formation, training and teaching have changed. Everything have been changing around, and accordingly, the attitude towards learning must change. The content of education in a modern comprehensive school remains unilateral; state standards based on an objective approach are morally outdated. Many modern teachers point to the lack of a competent approach, focused on the individuality of the student. Education at school does not give the pupil a clearly expressed positive motivation to choose a life path, interests and prospects.
Now, in the 21st century, the role of international education is growing. To raise own culture, to develop and to go forward is a vital necessity for our century and country.
The same vital necessity is the study of foreign languages in order to keep up to date. Today, knowledge of English language opens a window into a large global world with its colossal flow of information and innovations.
At the present stage of the development of the society, the modernization of the content of education in Uzbekistan is not least connected with the innovation processes in the organization of teaching foreign languages. Therefore, the main goal of the modern teacher is to select methods and forms of the organization of learning activities of students who optimally meet the goal.
In recent years, the issue of using new information technologies in educational institutions has been increasingly raised. Since the main goal of teaching foreign languages is the formation and development of a communicative culture of students, the training of practical acquisition of foreign language, then the use of computer technology, Internet resources is the best approach in teaching.
It has been quite a few years since a computer entered our life, and we no longer imagine a modern lesson without the use of information technology. ICT becomes an integral tool in increasing students' interest for their studying issues and developing visual-figurative thinking. It is already known, that the use of ICT in the learning process has the potential to activate cognitive, intellectual and independent activities of students. Information technology makes it possible to significantly change the forms and methods of academic work.
Means of ICT used in the education system can be divided into two types: hardware (computer, printer, scanner, camera, video camera, audio and video tape recorder, etc.) and software (electronic textbooks, simulators, test environments, information sites, search systems Internet, etc.) [1]
At present time, the computer is an effective assistant, which allows to improve the quality of teaching and the effectiveness of assessment. Currently, the use of computers in the educational process is very important.
I want to focus on the use of computer presentations in the educational process. The use of presentations allows us to intensify mastering of educational material by students and conduct classes at a qualitatively new level, using instead of a regular blackboard projecting slide films from the computer screen to a large wall-mounted screen or a personal computer (laptop) for each student. Colorfully designed presentations (using animation effects, in the form of text, diagrams, graphics, and drawings.) solve the problem of using visual aids. For example, if you previously cut and paste pictures on the board, then now you can find pictures and illustrations with the help of the Internet and insert them on the slide right away. If there is a lot of pictures, then we can make a few slides.
At the lessons the introduction of new material, I use the following educational programs: great help in teaching phonetics, articulation, rhythmic intonation pronunciation skills, to increase the motivation of students to learn English is provided by the program «Professor Higgins. English without an accent»The interactive course» Round-up "(publisher Pearson Education Limited, Longman), consisting of several disks for different levels, is of great help in studying and fixing grammar. Exercises are arranged according to grammatical themes. Advantages of the course are the ability to check their answers and computer summarizing the results of the tasks. Interactive course «Way Ahead» (Macmillan publishing house). Six levels of this course include games, crosswords, and fascinating exercises for fixing grammatical and lexical material in a game form. Sound and graphic design of the program is interesting and exciting
Now let's move on to the issue of using the Internet for teaching English. Today, new methods using Internet resources are opposed to traditional teaching of foreign languages. To teach communication in a foreign language, you need to create real life situations that will stimulate the study of the material and develop adequate behavior. Now everyone understands that the Internet has tremendous information capabilities and no less impressive services. Whichever way we relate to the Internet, we have to recognize the fact that the worldwide network has become an integral part of modern reality. Many students have long appreciated all the advantages of the Internet and actively use its services in their educational activities, while for teachers the space of this world web remains mostly unknown, unfamiliar and to some extent frightening. What kind of help the Internet can provide depends on how we use it for solving some didactic tasks.
English teachers can use widely the resources of the global Internet.
Preparing messages, students «filter» a lot of information, if you need to listen to music, and most often watch photos. Such tasks for students can be used in the preparatory stage of the lesson, for example, in combination with the project method, allows students to practically apply their knowledge, skills and abilities. This is one of the forms of organization of research and cognitive activity, in which group activity is successfully realized that allows increasing the motivation for learning a foreign language. The point of such a work process is the student himself with the opportunity to freely express his opinion and practical use of knowledge in a foreign speech.
In my lessons I use the following educational Internet resources:
Fairy tales, stories, games, crossword puzzles: www.oup.ru, www.onestopenglish.ru, www.babyland.ru
When preparing projects — www.alleng.ru/englishjet.com/native-english.com.
Www.study.ru/online — On-line lessons, collections (lyrics, clever ideas, subtitles for films), tests, dictionaries, for the formation or improvement of grammatical and lexical skills
Www.mystudy.ru — English grammar, forum for students in English, tutors, courses, on-line lessons, on-line games
Http://englishforkids.ru — English for children — poems, fairy tales, songs, alphabet, riddles, proverbs, books, educational games, forum and much more
Www.efmf.ru — English for music fanatics — site for those who want to learn English with the lyrics of popular songs
Www.english-grammar-lessons.com — English International Lyon presents Lessons-interactive exercises in English grammar
Www.english-4u.de — english-4u — English grammar exercises, interactive practical exercises
Speaking about the effectiveness of using the Internet, it is necessary to mention about the increase of motivation to learn English. On the Internet a lot of online flash games have the interface of various children's games, familiar to each student, which only enhances their appeal for students.
I also use phonetic games on the site http://www.lovelylanguage.ru/for-kids/online-games. There is a good series of educational games «Learn English letters», which is called «Learning English Letters».
The use of the DLR (Digital Learning Resources) in pedagogical work enables the teacher:
– to present the material more understandable, in less time, with greater understanding on the part of the students;
– to find basic and additional materials for lessons and lectures;
– to save time for oral practice;
– to organize individual, pair and group work with class, simplify the control of students' learning activities;
– to increase the interest of students, their motivation, engage in the creative process. [2]
Thus, without the use of ICT in the teaching process, it is difficult to imagine modern English lessons. Their use expands the scope of the educational process, increases its practical area. The use of ICT and Internet resources in English lesson allows us to fully implement a whole range of methodological, pedagogical and psychological principles. The use of computer educational programs in English classes increases the effectiveness of solving communicative problems, develops different types of speech activity of students, and forms a stable motivation for students to learn foreign language activities in class.
In the 21st century, the society makes ever higher demands on the practical knowledge of English in everyday communication and in the professional sphere. The volumes of information are growing, and often routine ways of its transfer, storage and processing are ineffective. The use of information technology reveals the enormous capabilities of the computer as a means of learning. But we must not forget that the use of multimedia technologies can not provide a significant pedagogical effect without a teacher, since these technologies are only ways of teaching. The computer in the educational process is not a mechanical teacher, a tool that enhances and expands the possibilities of its teaching activity.
In conclusion, the use of ICT and Internet resources in English lesson is important today, because the teacher should be interesting for his students, by keeping up to date, improving their pedagogical skills and level of intelligence.
