Everything Needs to Fight

Every human life must ever feel happy or sad.  Happiness and sadness come together. Though so whatever we feel should still be lived and grateful. Easy or difficult depending on human life itself, how they deal with each problem. My own example that is considered hard life  is when I struggled to get something I want to achieve. Just for my education to achieve my first degree, and for change my future life. I had to fight to live alone in Singaraja town to reach goals. Away from my parents and have no relatives here. But if I live with passion, and if I remember my parents hard work just for me, my passion grow up of course, such problems would not be too mean. Everything it needs to fight. Easy or hard core of life depends on the way we live all.

QUESTION : Why is it needed to integrate technology in ESL/EFL ?

Using technology as a supplementary tool to support learning among students is a teaching strategy that continues to gain popularity today.

The rapid development of technology and evidence presented regarding the effects of technology integration in instruction has made this approach popular in the teaching and learning process. Through the use of word processors, presentation software, multimedia, hypermedia, drill and practice programs, the Internet, and other procedures and tools, students from all walks of life are able to engage in instruction and the learning environment designed to meet their specific needs.

Language teaching is one area in which the application of technology has been encouraged. So far, technological equipment such as radio, TV, cassettes, CD-ROMs, DVDs, and communicative tools such as e-mails, chat rooms, discussion boards, and internet conferences are being used in language classes. technology such as movies and music can help instructors in language classes by providing them a good opportunity to develop and create different, enjoyable tasks for their classes. use of technology helps meet language learners communication needs as well as help them develop their language skills in the classroom. Using various kinds of technological devices gives language students the sense of freedom, motivation, and encouragement they need for learning.

Audio and visual technologies in the form of graphics, pictures, maps, and videos have been used in ESL instruction. Audio materials encourage listening skills while the visual presentation not only provide a focus of attention but also makes it easier for language learners to fill in any information they do not understand.

It must be pointed out that using both audio and visual presentations simultaneously lead to a higher effect when compared to a single presentation at one time .Together, these presentations attract the students‟ attention and help them understand the gist of the subject matter being presented. Audio-visual materials present students with a lot of information, especially in the form of cues such as facial expression, hand movement, and gestures which hold their attention and may encourage even the novice learner to focus on the message at hand.
