READING Read the text carefully, and do the tasks that follow. From slates to iPadsLanguage learning then, now and in the future. Then. It’s 6 a.m on a Monday morning 500 years ag- time for lessons to start at a local grammar school. The main aim of the lesson is to study the grammar of Latin – the international language of the time (in Europe, at least) and the language of all university course. The pupils are all boys- if girls receive any education at all, they get it at home. The boys take out their slates- there will be no pencil and paper until the 19th century. They learn grammatical rules and translate sentences, and the boys have to speak Latin at all times. If they fail at all, their punishment is up to 50 strokes of the cane! Now.. No one knows how many peopple are learning English to day- one estimate is one billion people, or a third of the world’s population. Teachnology has become more and more important in how people learn: cassettes (which first became popular in the 1970s), CDs and video have brought “real English” into the classroom. Many classrooms have Internet access, video facilities, and interactive whiteboards. But in most cases, one thing hasn’t changed.there’s still a teacher! In the future.. Who knows what the language classroom of 2050 will be like? Many people think that textbooks might be a thing of the past very soon. And many classrooms won’t have cassettes or CDs in the near future. Will students use iPads or smartphones instead of pen and paper? Will computers replace teachers? Other people think that English might not be as popular as it ia now. Will Chinese, perhaps, or even a completely new international language designed by computers replace English? There is one thing that is for sure: technology will be at the centre of tomorrow’s language education. Note: slate(n): a small thin sheet of rock in a wooden frame, used in the past in schools for children to write on. Task 1: Decide whether the statements are true (T) or false(F). Latin used to be the language of all university courses in Europe. Students studied a lot of practical skills and knowledge with their slates. In the past, students studied in a simple setting and punishment was sometimes very severe. Modern educational devices will be used more in classrooms English will be the international language foe all countries in the world. Technology has played a more important role in education. Task 2: Read the text again. Match the sentence halves, and write the answer in each blank. Answer A B . Another language might replace English People started using audio cassettes Latin was the international language People started using pencil and paper. About one billion people study English.

Read the passage, and decide whether the following statements are true(T), false (F), or not given (NG) Electronic learning is a technology of education that implies self- motivation, communication, efficiency, and technology. E- learning is effective as it elimilates distances because the e- learning content is designed with media that can be accessed frm properly equiped computers, and other means of internet accessible technology. E- learning has its own advantages. However, the most important advantages lay in the reduction of time, efforts and cost. Furthermore, we can talk about the following advantages of E- learning with the increasing of communication between the student and themselves and between the student and the school a fast and easy way is needed to bring everybody together. Throughout different directions such as discussing forums, email, and chat rooms, researchers think that these things increase and motivate students to participate and react with the subjects in question. Another advantage of e- learning as that it makes all students feel equal. Since the communication tools give each student the opportunity to express his own opinion clearly and directly at any time without being embarrassed, in contrary to the traditional teaching halls which don’t have such a feature due to the bad distribution of the tables or because of shyness or other reasons. E-learning provides teachers with great facilities that are accessible out of working hours, that is because the learner can send the inquires to the teacher through the e-mail at any time, yet this feature is more useful and suitable for the teacher instead of being restricted at his desk. By e-learning the attendances is not necessary as the new technology provides the communicatin methods without the need to be available in a specific place or time With e-learning, students from many part of the country can have lessons with the well – known teachers. With e-learning, students can save a lot of time, efforts, and money. The discussing forums and chat rooms provides opportunities to exchange and share the point of views. This type of e – learning gives the complete opportunity to the student to express themselves clearly and directly although it also brings many problems to them. Students can get over their shyness by taking part in online communication. The bad distribution of the tables in the traditional teaching halls made students shy, and unable to answer the questions. Teachers will be restricted at his desk to work with computers in e- learning. By e- learning students needn’t come to class any more. Read the passage about benefits of an interactive whiteboards, and then answer the questions. What are the benefits of an interactive whiteboards? Imagine a whiteboard on which you can not only write but play videos, show interactive presentations and recall previously – erased information. That’s what an interactive whiteboard does using a special touch – sensitive whiteboard in conjuntion with a computer and projector to receive commands and display information. One of the most significant advantages of interactive whiteboards is that they enable far greater particication than traditional whiteboards. For example, interactive whiteboards can be used in conjuntion with individual devices that enable participants or an audience to answer questions or vote from their seats and have their responses collected instantly on the whiteboards. They also enable people to manipulate information in ways that wouldn’t be possible or practical on a regular whiteboard, such as tapping to perform calculations on the screen, reveal layers of information ,or moving information around with the tip of a finger. All of the information on an interactive whiteboard actually comes from a connected computer and is simply projected onto the whiteboard.This means whatever you do on the whiteboard can be recorded directly toa hard drive and even transported on portable storage. This enables you to recall and reuse the information, such as the results of a brainstorming session, any time. By contrast, data on a traditional whiteboard must be copied manually or lost when erased. There are a variety of visuals that can be used with interactive whiteboards. Videos can be uploaded from websites or previously saved files. Additionally, entire presentations can be uploaded onto an interactive whiteboard. You can display and manipulate complex images and graphics. All of this can create a more engaging presentation which can help keep the audience’s attention. Particularly for students, an advantage of interactive whiteboards is that they give students a chance to interact extensively with technology. Particularly, if students are allowed to use the whiteboards for their own presentations, the use of an interactive whiteboard can be a great way to introduce students to electronic devices and a variety of software. Why do interactive whiteboards enable greater participation in lessons? . In what ways do interactive whiteboards allow students to manipulate information? ....... How does an interactive whiteboard enable you to recall and reuse the information? How can you create a more engaging presentation which can help keep the audience’s attention?
