MODULE 4: Producing Learning Resources Using Technology Tools

MODULE 4
Producing Learning
Resources Using
Technology Tools
Learning Outcomes
At the end of the module, the learners should be able to:
• Identify various instructional materials (IMs) and
technology tools in language teaching and learning;
• Explain the characteristics of good/ appropriate IMs
and technology tools in learning language.
• Prepare IMs that will enhance language learning
utilizing selected technology tools in delivering the
learning plan; and
• Create appropriate IMs using technology tools in
learning language.
Instructional Materials
(IMs)
• Very important because they contribute a
lot to student learning and teaching.
• Using instructional materials in language

classes makes language learning
fascinating and authentic.
• By the use of well-prepared IMs, teachers’ self-
confidence to deliver their lessons is also
heightened while the students are also given the
opportunity to actualize their learning.
• The texts, charts, models, graphics, and other

objects usually presented in printed materials will
be shown using interactive ICT tools to enrich IMs
development and presentation.

Learning Outcomes
At the end of the lesson, the learners should be able to:
• Identify various instructional materials (IMs) and technology
tools in language teaching and learning;
• Explain the characteristics of good/ appropriate IMs and
technology tools in learning language.
• Create appropriate IMs using technology tools in learning
language; and
• Evaluate the relevance and appropriateness of ICT
resources in language learning.
Information and Communication
Technologies (ICTs) can be
significantly useful as tools for
language instruction.
• Eslit (2017) claims that ICTs can be

programmed to tailor instruction
and tests for each individual
language learner.
• (Ajoke, 2017) The effectiveness of instructional tools in
promoting students’ academic performance in teaching
and learning is indisputable. It provides the much-needed
sensory experiences needed by the learners for an
effective and meaningful behavioral change.
• (Slavin, 2010) Well-planned and imaginative use of

visual aids in a lessons banish apathy, supplement
inadequacy of books as well as arouse students’ interest
by giving them something practical to see and do, and at
the same time help to train them to think things out
• Before they used cassette tapes,
radios, and televisions were the only
technologies being used to allow
students to demonstrate language
skills for English, and Filipino,
subjects or courses.
Computer-Based Instructional Tools
and Materials in Language Teaching
The numerous technology tools being used

in language teaching are fully supportive of
the different types of instructional materials
commonly used in language teaching.
A. Computer-Assisted Language
Learning (CALL)
Is a fundamental part of English teaching
methodology and it is highly acknowledged
means in attaining learning objectives.
Computers provide many opportunities of
exchanging ideas and information at both
national and international level.
• Lohdi, (2019) The computer has become a
valuable tool of learning for modern students.
• Eslit (2017) also described CALL as one of
the many tools and techniques that can help
improve the student language competencies.
• Abate (2018) conducted a research on
blending Content and Language Integrated
Learning CLIL and CALL.
B. Language Instructional Materials
Supported by Technology Tools
Ajoke (2017) cited that different

types of instructional materials in
teaching English as a second
language.
1. Instructional Charts
Charts can be seen on printed materials
but their presentation can be enhanced
and are presented in 3D or 4D form with
the aid of technology. Charts can help
language learners read with
understanding data and concepts that
are not presented in text forms.
Microsoft Word
Does not only allow you
to create documents but
it also has a provision to
allow you to create
charts or graphs that will
add to the visual appeal
of the presentation of
your text.
Microsoft Excel
The main feature is to
create charts and graphs.
For language learners, a
simple chart in Excel is
more comprehensive
than to see a lot of
sheets and cells full of
numbers.
Microsoft
PowerPoint
Offers various tools
that can make your
presentation
interactive. One of its
features is to present
charts in a slide.
iOs, Android, and
Windows Phone and
iPad Chart Maker Apps
These are Numbers, Viz, 3D
Charts, Chart Maker, Graphing
Calculator HD, Roambi
Analytics, and Graph.
