A TAXONOMY ON ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHERS' USE OF ICT
 |
A big thank you to 106 teachers who recently completed my survey, a 'Taxonomy of English
Language Teachers' use of ICT in ELT' as part of my MA dissertation. I am
currently analysing the data and writing about it, although I have prepared a draft. I present some preliminary
findings below with full graphical representation, uploaded to SCRIBD. Follow-up qualitative
interviews will take place in the week beginning Monday, 23 July.
Please note: This is a unfinished draft of one section of an MA dissertation and does not yet include full referencing and omits responses to some questions. It does not include the sections which will precede it, such as the methodology section, nor anything to do with the qualitative analysis which will follow the interview stage. The text will change and formatting mistakes are still to be corrected. I would warn against misappropriating or misrepresenting the data - that's my job!! and I reserve the right to remove it at any time.
I am sharing this with anyone who is interested in the current use of ICT and Web tools in ELT, especially those that expressed a particular interest following their completion of the survey.
This is work-in-progress.
I would be interested to hear any comments.

ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with your MA.
I am particularly struck by the lack of support for teachers' professional development. Being 21 and still very new to the ELT world, I had kind of hoped that this was just a lack of welcome.
Then again, this kind of prepared me for that: http://qa.englishaustralia.com.au/index.cgi?E=hcatfuncs&PT=sl&X=getdoc&Lev1=pub_EAJ_26-2&Lev2=Broady
Personally I would think that the high teacher autonomy is quite simple - as professionals we guide others, encouraging them to take responsibility for their learning. We can only ethically practice what we preach.
I look forward to the interview.

Awesome findings Phil. I'm actually surprised that the mouth-to-mouth still is a significant communication channel at these current times. Keep up with the good work mate! Nico
ReplyDeleteThanks Nico. I have just discovered this prezi from David S White on the 'digital residents/digital visitors' paradgim, which I refer to in my literature review. http://tinyurl.com/ykyyjax
