A NEW LANGUAGE





Teaching very young children from an early age foreign languages has many advantages.
One of these advantages is that children are more creative and develop better social skills better.
But you should always consider that when you are teaching a child something new you can never make children do something they do not want to.

Therefore, the principle of teaching a new language is that the child must become familiar with it gradually. The teacher must begin by choosing an activity that the child likes or is interested in.

In my opinion, one of the most used strategies teach a second language is through songs, singing is an essential tool for learning and is an element of fun for students. Through the songs we can meet the needs and interests of children too.

A part from using songs to learn a new language, we can also do other activities such as repeating some words related to objects or pictures to stimulate the child to repeat them…

Once the children on have learned some new pieces of language we need create appropriate situation so that the children practise and thus encourage them to speak it. For example at lunchtime talk a bit in the second language, explaining what you are eating… so that the children are familiar with the vocabulary.

In my opinion, songs are a good way to teach a new language, since children feel they are playing white they are learning too fun while you learn.

THE COMPUTER AS A NEW INSTRUMENT OF EDUCATION





New technologies form the basis for universal communication today. Through them we can access the latest information and there are also real time. This has influenced education, both at school and at home, methodological changes in the teaching-learning processes. The use of ICT in schools is necessary and replaces former practices and resources.

The computer is a new teaching tool. It is used as a research tool and it is quality very motivating and attractive to students of different educational levels.

So the teacher has to acquire a new role and new knowledge.
Teachers have to teach their students how to use the Internet, its advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, teachers must promote an education in accordance with our time, by making new teaching proposals and introducing the necessary tools for this purpose.

A factor to take into account is the family environment.
It is vitally important for parents to be able to use computers and show their children now to make good use of it.

The purpose of computer is promoting: the stimulation of creativity, experimentation and manipulation, respecting the pace of student learning, fostering teamwork and research.

For people with disabilities, we could consider that computers can not be it necessary, but or on the contrary, they are indispensable.
It depending on several factors, according to the economic and cultural development of each family, the type of disability and degree of deficiency and so on.

However, I also think we should not lose the use of resources such as the old pencil and paper. These, like the computer, are important in education and society. I therefore believe that both would have to be worked equally, since they are equally important. But it is noteworthy that each of these resources has important advantages.

We can say that new technologies are now considered relevant, because, they are the basis for future learning...

Is the computer going to be a barrier or a facilitator for learning?
