 OPEN-ENDED TOOLS AND THEIR USES IN
TEACHING AND LEARNING LANGUAGE SKILLS

As described by Palmer (2015), teachers need to demonstrate 21st century

characteristics to be able to meet the demands of the 21st century learners. This
characteristics in the context of language teaching are briefly presented for
teachers to:
1.Create a learner centered classroom and make instruction personalized because
learners have different personalities, goals, and needs;
2.Facilitate the students productivity skills so they can produce, when assisted and
given the chance, movies that are helpful to enhance their language proficiency;
3.Learn new technologies since technology keeps on developing and learning a
tool once is not an option for teachers;
4.Go global to allows students to learn languages, cultures and acquire
communication skills virtually;
5.Be smart and allow the use of devices as aids to language acquisition;
6.Do blogging;
7.Go digital to help promote the “go paperless” advocacy.
8.Collaborate with other educators and students.
9.Use web chats to share research and ideas and stay updated in the field.
10.Connect with the like-minded individual through using media tools.
11.Introduce Project-Based Learning to allows students to develop their driving
questions, conduct research, contact experts, and create their projects fo
sharing with the use of existing devices present.
.
12. Build positive digital footprint that aims to model appropriate use of social
media.
13. Code as it is today’s literacy which helps boost students writing skills as the
feeling of writing a page with HTML is amazing.
14. Innovative to expand their teaching tool box for the sake of their students by

Using word in Scaffolding Student Learning in a Language Classroom.
To appreciate the value of Word application in scaffolding student learning, we have
to explore how this are maximize by teachers. In education, scaffolding is use to
refer to various forms of support given to assess, guide, or facilitate the learning
process (World Links, 2008).
USING PRESENTATIONS IN TEACHING LANGUAGE SKILLS
Presentations, allow language learners to experience a world of real language
environment and opportunity in language courses, i.e. Filipino, English, Mother
Tongue and Foreign Languages. For instance presentation software applications
allow language learners to:
1.Present their language reports with audio, visual images and animations;
2.Develop and present their group projects using real-world visual presentations;
3.Present charts, tables, graphics, and others that are useful to facilitate students
understanding of any language concepts;
 4.Show data stored in graphic organizers that cannot be fully presented by a printed
material;
5.Develop digital stories or story book;
6. Show results of any survey, questionnaire and other forms of language
assessment activities;
7.Articulate and crystalize their ideas using special features of presentation
software apps;
8. Experince language learning process through the integrateion of contents in the
presentations;
9. Enjoy developing their project; thus, are highly involved;
10. Commit to the quality of their work, both content and form;
11. Present information in condensed form and focusing on salient points because
of the limited area in slide presentations; hence, avoiding digression and drifting;

in ways they feel
software activates the four macro skills:
comfortable.
1. READING - In our courses, students first read some of academic articles on a topic
of their choice, knowing that they will have to present their conclusion in class.
2. WRITING - When' composing slides, students have to condense the information
they have gathered to present only the main points. In this type of 'minimalistic'
writing, key concepts and words have to be retained, while the 'chaff' is discarded This
information reduction process is in itself a difficult but very profitable language task.
3. SPEAKING - The material that students have read, organized and summarized has
to be presented orally to convey a clear message to an audience of peers.
4. LISTENING -The class listens to the oral presentation. Listening to a nonnative
speaker is not easy, and visual elements facilitate comprehension.

BASIC INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN IN PREPARING

PRESENTATION
1. Setting Up the Presentation Class -It is not enough to simply tell students to go
and do a presentation. Students have to be taught the skills involved in giving a
presentation.
2. Organization of the Presentation - Proper organization of information is one of the
most important competencies that must be developed among students.
3. Presentation Skills - Its developing oral presentation is very important to consider
in developing oral presentations to spend time to consider the macro and micro skills
that are needed.
4. The Use of Visual Aids - Visual aids are an important part of oral presentations
because they provide support for both the speakers and listeners during the
presentation.
5. Performing Self-Reflections - The final stage of each oral presentation involves
students writing a self-reflection of their presentation.
 USING SPREADSHEETS IN LANGUAGE LEARNING
Spreadsheet programs are not only beneficial to business and mathematics courses
but are also beneficial to language courses. Apart from being built. around a grid of cells
that hold numerical data, it also 'contain text, dates, and other content that can be
presented in language courses for discussions. The following are essential ideas that
teachers may consider when employing spreadsheets in the language classrooms:
1. Reinforce learning scientific and mathematical languages that are also relevant in
language learning.
2. Add well-designed charts and tables to reports to enhance students' non-verbal reading
skills.
3. Allow students to create their own charts, graphs, tables, and the like, to develop and
enhance their language and spatial skills.
4. Give students completed chart and see if they can reconstruct underlying worksheet.
5. Require that language reports and research papers contain some type of chart to help
support their findings. Encourage them to look for samples form the World Wide Web.
6. Let students explore websites that have table presentation for language teaching and
let them discuss how these were used to facilitate the acquisition of language
competencies.
7. Let the students look for charts in language learning materials like textbooks,
workbooks and others and discuss why these were used.
8. Teach the language and principles of financial literacy and management as it is also
important to learn these concepts in the context of purposive communication and life
skills.
9. Explain numerical concepts by showing the relationships between numbers and their
concrete representation in charts and graphs. As language teachers, this is needed to
understand language researches with quantitative designs.
10.Demonstrate how spreadsheets are useful in preparing assessment and evaluation
tools for students' performance.
