There are a lot of teachers who use traditional instructional materials to enhance the teaching learning process. This module aims to present to you the innovative ICT-based instructional materials that can be used to enhance language instruction.

LESSON 1 Characteristics of Appropriate Instructional Materials in Language Teaching EXPLORE Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) can be significantly useful as tools for language instruction. In the Philippines, the languages that are being taught are Mother Tongue; Filipino, English and other foreign Languages. With the integration of ICTs in teaching languages, the need to Process data quickly and integrate voice, music, video, pictures, and text into lessons can be fully addressed. Eslit (2017) claims that ICTs can be Programmed to tailor instruction and tests for each individual language Learner. To be able to use these technologies successfully as tools and materials and to help in effective conduct of language classes, some principles on suitability, adequacy, and efficient utilization will also be discussed in this Module. 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 (Ajoke, 2017). Slavin (2010) also added That, well-planned and imaginative use of visual aids in lessons banish apathy, supplement inadequacy of books as well as arouse student’s interest by giving Them something practical to see and do, and at the same time help to train Them to think things out themselves.

Computer-Based Instructional Tools and Materials in Language Teaching A. Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) Computer-assisted language learning (CALL) is a fundamental part of English teaching methodology and it is a highly acknowledged means in attaining learning objectives. Computers provide many opportunities of exchanging ideas and information at both national and international level. The computer has become a valuable tool of Learning for modern students. (Lohdi, 2019). Eslit (2017) also described CALL as one of the many tools and techniques that can help improve the students’ language competencies. He claims that this new technology in language education has increased learner autonomy, creativity, Productivity and team work. It has been used with interactive teaching Approach to tutor language learners through language drills or skills Practice.

The research Found out that the use of simple but efficacious web tools during Lessons in CLIL approach improved learners’ competencies. The web Tools enable communication, facilitate access to knowledge, online Dictionaries and other learning resources and Increase exposure to using A foreign language. CLIL develops cognitional improvement, cultural Understanding without any substantial loss to content learning. The use of ICT enhances effective student’s motivation to learn languages. In research conducted by Paul Lyddon (2018), it was pointed out That digital technologies have increased communications between Speakers of different languages, but the widespread use of online Machine translation has become a disruptive force for foreign language Education, as it permits intelligible exchanges between persons with Little or no knowledge of a foreign tongue.
