Wykorzystanie tecnnicznych środków w nauczaniu języka angielskiego w łódzkich szkołach średnich
Streszczenie
The paper presents the results of the inquiry that was carried out
among the secondary school teachers of English in Łódź by the Department of
Applied Linguistics of the Institute of English, University of Łódź, four
years ago. The inquiry concerned the use of audio-visual (AV) aids in the
process of teaching English in secondary schools.
Majority of the inquired teachers use AV aids during lessons: the most
popular aids are tape-recorders and gramophones; film projector is used very
rarely. It is striking that head projectors are not used very often though
the schools seem to be well provided with the projectors. According to the
answers, the advantages of AV aids are (among others): bringing variety to
the lesson, increasing the pupils' interest and giving them the best models
of pronunciation. The most important disadvantages are: problems in achieving
pupils' full concentration on the lesson, lack of suitable materials
for AV aids and the fact that a teacher needs a lot of time to prepare a
lesson with the use of AV aids.
The inquired teachers claim they are well prepared to use AV aids during
lesson though they may have problems with operating more complicated
equipment (language lab, film projector).
It appears from the results of the inquiry that there are still difficulties
in supplying the schools and the teachers with suitable materials for
AV aids. It is also important that the students, prospective teachers of
English, should be instructed not only in operating but also the principles
of the use of AV aids in the process of teaching English.
