Hi!

ICTs are not only digitalised or digital ICTs, also language, writing and print are ICTs, and cultural expressions are done with ICTs. The development of ICTs through history is an ongoing decrease of informational friction - we can communicate, also culturally, faster, cheaper, more accessible with digitalised ICTs. But what is characteristic for just digital ICTs are the processing of information besides human brains but as service to humans. Computer-generated music as an example. So ICTs are deeply involved in teaching and learning culture through history, and are today producing cultural expressions themselves. So your question is complex but full of possibilities.

Dear Farangis Shahidzade

ICT can provide diverse options for taking in and processing information, making sense of ideas, and expressing learning. Over 87% of students learn best through visual and tactile modalities, and ICT can help these students ‘experience’ the information instead of just reading and hearing it. Mobile devices can also offer programmes (“apps”) that provide extra support to students with special needs, with features such as simplified screens and instructions, consistent placement of menus and control features, graphics combined with text, audio feedback, ability to set pace and level of difficulty, appropriate and unambiguous feedback, and easy error correction.

DEAR @ Anders Norberg, @ Faisal Khalil

GREAT VIEWS, THANKS

ICT can split the programmed instruction of knowledge (e.g. for self-testing) and creative didactics of learning (e.g. for project or field work), i.e. the teaching culture can focus on real life learning and memorizing routines can be done by didactical ICT systems (multimedia artificial cognition). The teacher can be freed from a lot of 'pedagogical robot work'. However, I know the reality, my youngest daughter is now preparing for her high school degree.

Generally speaking, ICT offers important gateway mechanisms which help students improve their tech savvy performance in order to explore the virtual world. This so called serendipity learning enables them to discover the idiosyncratic nature of cultural differences existing among languages implicitly. Indubitably, separating language teaching from crucial issues of culture is not plausible and ICT can certainly play a vital role in familiarizing learners with cultural areas of overlap and conflict.

Just it provides updated information to teacher and students feel easy to learn through it.

Hi!

Comment to Stephen I. Ternyik

ICTs, not those digitalized old ICTs that only decreases informational friction, but those more characteristically digital that also process information, can allow a teacher to become a more human teacher, increasingly freed from tasks where she/he works as a robot. Why dont have a robot or algorithm to do that? Here we have applications as learning analytics and adaptive learning, but a good example can also be autocorrected tests and work tasks. They have ecisted for a long while, but mostly in mechanical, stupid kind of testing (Multip,e choice standard alternatives, etc). But now comes MIT Automated Essay Grader as only one example, correcting and grading student answers on essay questions after the teachers instruction / template. So the teacher can do something more crearive, something more human, as giving personal feedback to students and helping them create music or solve complex problems instead of mechanical, brain-killing correction a nd grading. Ant the ICT does this correction and grading in a much more even and just way than a human can. many of these thoughts comes from the onformation philosopher Luciano Floridi at Oxford Internet Institute, that I apply on ICTs and education. He says in some place that it us exactly the stupidity of ICTs that allows us to become more human in our professions. Check my conference paper on applying information philosophy on education, if interested.

With ICT we can reflect cultural aspects of a particular country in our classroom through displaying movies or dramas that include cultural inputs. It is a very good way for teaching culture

ICT is the main driver of change in today's societies. The tremendous development of science and technology has moved the world from the information economy to the knowledge and culture economy. The backwardness of States is no longer measured by the technological backwardness resulting from economic gaps, but with digital gaps or digital backwardness. The concept of ICT for development is the use of ICT, such as computers, the Internet, mobile handsets and traditional media such as radio and television for human progress Social and cultural development, and more accurately, their use in education, culture, health, good governance and economic development. Finally, whatever is said about technology and its impact on man and human society, man remains the maker of this technology. But the question that arises is what Einstein once said when he said: "I fear the day when technology is superior to human activity. Then the world will have generations of fools."

Dear Researcher,

Teaching culture in Foreign Language Learning (FLL) is imperative to develop communicative competence of the students through contents. Using ICT advances the students to visualize and conceptualize the culture with help of audio and video devices.

Regards,

How can ICT help in teaching culture?
