Innovative Methods of Teaching English Language to the Rural Students through Technology

Abstract

English is now the language of global communication. Thus, the work of English as second/foreign language teachers is becoming more visible, and teacher education for English as Second/Foreign Language (ESL/EFL) learners has gained prominence. The development of an interdisciplinary model of foreign language teacher education is described in this article. This innovative approach to language education aims to provide teachers with declarative knowledge and research tools on the one hand, as well as the ability to deal with a diverse classroom in a multicultural society on the other. English as a second language instruction has the potential to assist language learners in moving forward with a deep awareness and understanding of literacy development in both languages, as well as the knowledge that students' comprehension and verbal production are likely to be higher in the mother tongue than in the foreign language. Thus, ESL instruction would be tailored to the learner's level of foreign language acquisition, taking into account the fact that, even though it is not the learner's first language, many cognitive processes are already in place.
