1. UNIVERSIDAD MARIANO GALVEZ DE GUATEMALA TEACHING TECHNIQUESIV. LICDA. CELESTE LEMUS. TEACH THE FOUR SKILLS ACTIVITIES: READING, WRITING, SPEAKING AND LISTENING WITH TECHNOLOGY JANETH ESMERALDA MORALES PEREZ CARNET. 5076-06-16146

2. ReadingReading (comprehension skill) ListeningListening (comprehension skill) SpeakingSpeaking (production skill) WritingWriting (production skill) Reading comprehension is the ability to read text, process it and understand its meaning. An individual's ability to comprehend text is influenced by their traits and skills, one of which is the ability to make inferences. Definition of listening Comprehension: “Listening comprehension refers to the understanding of the implications and explicit meanings of words and sentences of spoken language.” Speaking is an interactive process of constructing meaning that involves producing and receiving and processing information. Writing is a form of communication that allows students to put their feelings and ideas on paper

4. Through daily activities, teachers provide learners with opportunities to develop each skill: students listen (to the teacher use the target language, to a song, to one another in a pair activity), speak (pronunciation practice, greetings, dialogue creation or recitation, songs, substitution drills, oral speed reading, role play), read (instructions, written grammar drills, cards for playing games, flashcards) and write (fill-in-the-blank sheets, sentences that describe a feeling, sight or experience, a dialogue script, a journal entry).  http://www.educ.ualberta.ca/staff/olenka.Bilash/b est%20of%20bilash/fourskills.html http://www.educ.ualberta.ca/staff/olenka.Bilash/b est%20of%20bilash/fourskills.html

5.  The four skills work in tandem when the activities that require their use are designed to support learners in the process of learning, creating and producing a specific product. Four approaches in particular are structured so that the four skills can be used simultaneously. These approaches are: the focal skill approach, content-based instruction, task-based instruction and the project-based approach.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0My_HH8wz a4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0My_HH8wz a4

6.  integrating technology with classroom practice can be a great way to strengthen engagement by linking students to a global audience, turning them into creators of digital media, and helping them practice collaboration skills that will prepare them for the future  http://www.edutopia.org/technology- integration-introduction-video http://www.edutopia.org/technology- integration-introduction-video

7.  All the students work on computers and the teachers are learning right along with the students. The teachers team teach, 4 in a classroom and at the same time are learning from mentors of the project. It is a really neat project showing how technology can change the whole dynamics of education.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu99aC8 YK4Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu99aC8 YK4Y

8.  Four skills activities in the language classroom serve many valuable purposes: they give learners scaffolded support, opportunities to create, contexts in which to use the language for exchanges of real information, evidence of their own ability (proof of learning) and, most important, confidence.

9.  The goal of the focal skill approach is studying in the SL in order to acquire it. This second language curriculum stresses the balanced development of listening, speaking, reading and writing by measuring competency in each skill and then focusing on the development of the weakest skill. Resources like those developed by the International Center for Focal Skills (ICFS) use placement tests to identify weak skill areas.

10. Integrating technology into classroom instruction means more than teaching basic computer skills and software programs in a separate computer class. Effective tech integration must happen across the curriculum in ways that research shows deepen and enhance the learning process. In particular, it must support four key components of learning: active engagement, participation in groups, frequent interaction and feedback, and connection to real-world experts.

11.  Information technology deals with the acquisition, processing, storage and dissemination of vocal, pictorial, textual and numerical information by a microelectronics- based combination of computing and telecommunications.  Example: Reading  http://www.myenglishpages.com/site_php_fil es/reading_science.php http://www.myenglishpages.com/site_php_fil es/reading_science.php
