Produktbeschreibung

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2024 in the subject Pedagogy - Media Pedagogy, grade: 2, , course: Technology for Language Learning, language: English, abstract: The application of a suitable teaching approach plays a major role in the teaching and learning process, including the teaching of Summary Writing. Summary Writing skill is one of the most essential and challenging skills to be taught in an ESL (English as Second Language) classroom. Student-teachers usually face a huge difficulty either in comprehending or summarizing the salient ideas in a given text. Due to this, they become unenthusiastic and rather act as passive learners. This study fundamentally aims to demonstrate that the use of CALL (i.e. Computer-Assisted Language Learning) is an effective technique to enhancing student-teachers' incentive and performance in Summary Writing. A comparative study methodology was employed where sixty (60) Level 400 student-teachers of Tumu College of Education in Ghana were randomly assigned to two groups (Early Grade & Primary Education), thirty each, and exposed to a set of activities and different methods, one of them CALL. The results were obtained through rigorous statistical analysis. From the analysis of their quiz results, the performance was clearly different between the two groups. The data gathered and carefully analyzed indicate very attractive scores in motivated classes with technological integration. In conclusion, it can be said that CALL is a motivating method and computers are valuable tools that should be used in second language classrooms to develop and improve upon student-teachers' Summary Writing skills.
