[…] information technology is an indivisible part of education in the twenty-first century. When used correctly in
the classroom, technology can allow students to experience situations and circumstances that the students of
20 years ago could only dream about. Through technology, books and figures can suddenly become alive and
applicable to the real world. In addition, information technology provides an even greater avenue for interaction
between teacher and students. At the English lessons different videos, exercises, games, listening drills may be
done. Information technology makes learning English available to a wider range of learners as well. (RODINADZE,
& ZARBAZOIA, 2012, p. 274)
According to Rodinadze, S., & Zarbazoia, K., 2012, judge the items below as (T) True or (F) False regarding the
ADVANTAGES of information technology in teaching the English language.
I. Information technology helps students as well as teachers in studying the course material easily because of
fast access. Studying the subjects with the help of online libraries and dictionaries has made grasping and
increasing knowledge easy for the students.
II. Information technology may facilitate learning or serve as the actual educational structure allowing learning
to occur. It benefits both traditional education institutions and online educational models in fundamental
ways. For example, multimedia presentations, knowledge-management softwares, apps, mobile devices such
as tablets, personal digital assistants (PDAs), lap tops, video conferencing, cloud computing, and collaborative
document editing are notable information technology services benefiting education that can provide teachers
with an endless choice to create more exciting and interactive lessons.
III. Students and educators utilizing cloud computing to store their homework can also modify the documents
access settings to allow multiple editors and contributors to participate in an assignment. This empowers
educators to design work assignments for teams of students working together and, in so doing, cultivate a teamwork ethos preparing them for the workplace. Now information technology has made it easy to study as
well as teach in groups or in clusters. At the English lessons with online resources they can be united together
to do the desired task.
IV. Teachers can enter grades and assignment updates online, rather than in a paper grade-book. Libraries with
a digital database in place of a traditional card catalog make their resources available for students to search
anywhere with an Internet connection. Staff members can find and send transcript information and other
records quickly by accessing a digital filing system, saving time and paper.
V. Information and communication technology opens the doors for better distance learning programs, allowing
those in disadvantaged areas to have access to the same education as the privileged. Because this technology
makes information accessible from nearly any location with a mobile device or laptop, courses can be more
flexible; meaning those with full schedules who may not have the time or opportunity to further their education
can choose to enroll in courses online and complete assignments on their own time.
VI. Interactive audio and video allow real time communication using phones and computers at the English lessons.
Voice over Internet Protocol enables a person's voice to be transmitted through an Internet connection. Voice
and multimedia presentations can also be delivered to a dispersed class with questions and answers taking
place in real time.
