How Technology Can Help Language Learning

Intelligence, according to Howard Gardner, is of eight types—verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical-rhythmic, visual-spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic. This is the first in a series of posts that explore and understand how each of the above forms of intelligence is affected by technology-mediated education.

Verbal-linguistic Intelligence involves sensitivity to spoken and written language, the ability to learn languages, and the capacity to use language to accomplish goals. Such intelligence is developed by three specific activities: reading, writing and interpersonal communication—both written and oral. The traditional tools that have been used to efficiently develop verbal/linguistic intelligence—textbook, pencil, and paper—are giving way to technology in many schools. E-books, Internet lesson plans, online assignments and word processing software, or a subset of the above, are now common in schools. Technology allows addition of multisensory (多种感觉的) elements that provide meaningful contexts to help comprehension, thus expanding the learning ground of language and linguistics.

Research into the effect of technology on the development of the language and literacy skills vis-à-vis reading activities of children has offered evidence for favorable effects of digital-form books. A study shows that digital reading materials have become common in developing countries in early childhood classrooms to support engagement in storybooks while enhancing the emergent literacy (早期读写能力) among children. E-books are also being increasingly used to teach reading among beginners and children with reading difficulties.

Technology can be used to improve reading ability in many ways. It can enhance (加强) and sustain the interest levels for children by allowing immediate feedback on performance and providing added practice when necessary. Recent research shows that students are able to improve their sight word vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension through computer-based reading.

Technology can also help in improvement of writing skills. Word processing software promotes not only composition but also editing and revising in ways that streamline the task of writing. Desktop publishing and web-based publishing allow the work to be taken beyond the classroom into a virtual world that allows more constructive interactions.

Technology enhanced oral communication is indeed useful in that it allows students from remote locations, or from all over the world to communicate orally through video and audio conferencing tools. For example, students of languages in Australian universities overcome the problem of insufficient contact with native language speakers by using online audio and video tools that allow the development of aural, vocal and visual-cognition skills that are important in verbal and linguistic education. Oral group discussions in the form of video conferencing can help non-native speakers of a language with natural language negotiation and cultural intonations in ways that have not been possible due to geographic isolation.

Computer definitely aided language learning and computer mediated communication enhance teaching and learning experiences in the areas of linguistics and language intelligence. Although there have not been comprehensive studies on the use of technologies to aid K-12 English-language learners, there have been many individual computer programs and other technologies that accelerate the acquisition of phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and reading-comprehension skills and other language building blocks.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】ranging / varying

【2】consisting / composed

【3】replacing

【4】expanded

【5】engaged / involved

【6】interaction(s)

【7】despite

【8】doubt / denying

【9】lack

【10】accelerate

【解析】

试题分析：通过阅读相关文章并完成相关的词语填空，考查学生对文章的理解和运用。在意思不变的情况下做词形的变化。

【1】ranging / varying 考查语境和非谓语动词的用法。这里的意思是：八种类型从语言到自然类的情报变化不同，用动词的-ing形式做状语。

【2】consisting / composed考查语境和非谓语动词的用法。________ of three aspects,是插入语，说明语言类情报的具体3个方面，consisting / composed of 意思是：由……组成。

【3】replacing考查语境和谓语动词的用法。句意：科技正取代传统的语言情报工具。是现在进行时，用动词的-ing形式做谓语。

【4】expanded考查语境和非谓语动词的用法。根据Technology allows addition of multisensory (多种感觉的) elements that provide meaningful contexts to help comprehension, thus expanding the learning ground of language and linguistics.可知，the learning ground of language and linguistics.被扩大用expanded。

【5】engaged / involved考查语境和谓语动词的用法。A study shows that digital reading materials have become common in developing countries in early childhood classrooms to support engagement in storybooks while enhancing the emergent literacy (早期读写能力) among children. 提示，短语get engaged / involved in 的意思是：参与。

【6】interaction(s) 考查语境和名词的用法。Desktop publishing and web-based publishing allow the work to be taken beyond the classroom into a virtual world that allows more constructive interactions.提示这里填interaction(s)。

【7】despite考查语境和介词的用法。due to 由于，这里用despite 的意思是尽管地域遥远，但是有了视频声频工具可以是远方的人互相通话交流。

【8】doubt / denying考查语境和名词的用法。There is no doubt / denying 毫无疑问……。

【9】lack考查语境和短语的用法。a lack of 缺乏

【10】accelerate 考查语境和动词的用法。Although there have not been comprehensive studies on the use of technologies to aid K-12 English-language learners, there have been many individual computer programs and other technologies that accelerate the acquisition of phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and reading-comprehension skills and other language building blocks.提示空处填accelerate。
