THANK YOU TO THE FOLLOWING AUTHORS FOR THE FOLLOWING DATA THAT ARE ALIGNED TO
THE SUBJECT TECHNOLOGY IN LANGUAGE AND EDUCATION.
Students get excited when they learn, explore, and create online but it is also important
for them to be vigilant of potential security issues. Social media, software, and apps must be
modified to keep personal data settings private. There are strangers in the digital world who will try
to steal your personal information or the information of the people in your network. When such
encounters happen, tell your students to immediately notify an adult or if they are capable, change
their passwords and use two-factor authentication process. Students must also use secure browser
settings, spam filters, and anti-virus software. Avoid web sites that automatically install malware
and may potentially harm your computer.
LEARNING GOALS:
1. draw connections between concepts;
2. discuss the importance of communication skills in relation to becoming
a good digital
3. communicator;
4. relate the importance of understanding copyright and fair use guidelinesas a
teacher;
5. discuss the principles, outcomes and guidelines of the K to 12 curriculum
framework in English;
6. examine the curriculum guide and come up with an alignment matrix;and
7. explore and rationalize the use of ICT in teaching specific units/topics.
DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP
Digital citizenship can be defined as engaging in appropriate and responsible behavior
when using technology which includes digital literacy, ethics, etiquette, online safety, norms,
rights, culture and more.
The advancement in various technologies has bridged the gap of communication for billions of people
all over the globe. Interaction with each other using the Internet hasbeen growing rapidly that we create a
digital society. Because the world is one click away, citizens from different countries enjoy the
opportunities for entertainment, employment, social interaction as well as education. The concept of
digital citizenship flourished because of these opportunities. In using technology, we have to understand
how to act in a manner acceptable to the norms, rules, and laws of the digital world. As digital citizens,
you also have to know your rights and responsibilities.
Many students today use technology for different purposes. They spend long period of
hours in a day — either they are researching about their lessons, playing online games, or browsing
the social media. The demand on the use of Internet exposes them to the online community. One
can‘t help but think, ―Do these students behave appropriatelyin digital society?‖
To do that, here are six simple rules on becoming a good digital citizen from Costello
(2014), to wit.
1. Stay safe online. Avoid posting personal information. Keep your profile private,
manage your friends list and be careful who you trust online. If you ever feel
uncomfortable by unwanted contact do not respond. Take a screen shot, log off and report
it to an adult you trust.
2. Think before you post or text. A bad reputation could be just a click away. Before you
press the ―send‖ button, imagine the last person in the world that you‘d want seeing what
you post.
3. What goes around comes around. If you want your privacy respected, respect others‘
privacy. Posting an embarrassing photo or forwarding a friend‘s private text without asking
can cause unintended hurt or damage to others.
4. Spread heart, not hurt. If you wouldn‘t say it in person, don‘t say it online. Stand up for
those who are bullied or harassed, and let them know that you‘re there for them.
5. Give and get credit. We‘re all proud of what we create. Give credit for your sources. Illegal
downloading, digital cheating, and cutting and pasting other people‘s stuff may be easy,
but that doesn‘t make it right. You have the responsibility to respect other people‘s creative
work -- and the right to have your own work respected.
6. Make this a world you want to live in. Create, share, tag, comment, and contribute to the
online world in positive ways.
Ribble (2018) summarized these points into three: be safe, be social, and be savvyonline. In
his article entitled, The Top 3 Elements of Student Digital Citizenship, Robble reminds that as
teachers, it is our job to teach our students how to manage their digital footprint and to help them
become the best digital citizens they can be. To read more about this article, follow the link

digital-citizenship
Critical Thinking
Critical thinking is a 21st Century skill that requires solving problems presented before
us. It empowers the students to question the truth and the existence of things. Because of this skill,
students will find a way to verify whether the information is accurate or not, especially the ones
they read on the Internet. They don‘t just absorb a set of facts or figures but they always ask if
those are reliable or not. They discover for themselves relevant information that is helpful to
them. They ask questions to separate facts from opinions.
In an English class, critical thinking is exhibited when students become engaged in the
lesson by simply asking ―Why?‖ When students start to ask relevant questions, they cause others
to think critically as well. Questioning helps them prepare for a life of purposeful thought in the
future. On the contrary, the use of technology has changed the landscape of critical thinking
process for some students. More and more students are letting technology do the thinking for them.
It is best to remind the students that no matter how advanced technology is, it is still useless without
them telling what to do and thinking critically about the information.
Creativity
Thinking outside the box will make you stand out from the rest. Trying new methods and
strategies to make things done spells a big difference in the 21st Century. This skill allows
the students to flaunt their individualities in solving problems from multiple perspectives. It also
means that tons of possibilities can be achieved with creativity like trying something new they
haven‘t tried before or thinking differently than the normal standards. Creativity gives students the
liberty to figure out a better way to handle pressing concerns.
Innovation and invention will play big time in creativity as students express themselves in
productive ways. When teaching English class, creativity allows the students to attack certain topics
in unconventional ways. For example, you want your students to express their opinions
regarding flexible learning. You, as a teacher, may ask them to write on a piece of paper an essay
about the topic. But allow them also to venture into other ways like blogging, creating a video or
making an infographic about it. The key here is to provide other avenues for students to put their
creative process in innovative and progressive approach.
Collaboration
Working together to accomplish a task best paints a picture of what collaboration is. Today,
the advent of technology makes collaborative works easier and faster. With justa click, you can take
a step farther in working with others. Interconnectivity allows us to share with others and learn
from them as well. Collaboration as a 21st Century skill will become more and more essential as
we move forward into modernization especially in the education sector.
With collaboration, students get to work with other learners despite differences in their
backgrounds, culture, gender orientation, and viewpoints. When these students arrive at a common
ground no matter how conflicting their opinions are, collaboration is practiced in a positive manner. It
is good to remind them, however, that the more collaboration they do, the more they learn about
their diversity and individual differences. In fact, none of their ideas on how to address a problem,
pitch solutions and decide the best course of action will be exactly the same as their classmates or
will be easily accepted by others. Thus, collaboration should require us to look at a second lens to
weigh opposing beliefs.In collaborative works, it pays to know that your ideas or opinions may not
always be thebest and the brightest.
Communication
Have you ever tried conveying your ideas to other people? If yes, you have already
practiced one of the 4Cs, that is, communication. But there‘s more to just sharing your thoughts!
Communication is a 21st Century skill that allows us to talk to one another to achieve
understanding. Communicating effectively must be our goal particularly in the age of text-based
communications. Because of modern technologies, we can now communicate with the help of
SMS, emails, social media, teleconferencing, etc. Those channels overwhelm us at times that we
get more miscommunications using them thanwhen we do in the face-to-face process.
In the English class as well as other subjects, our learners must be reminded that we
communicate to understand. When students communicate with each other, their message is as
important as the tone and the manner on how they say it. Students need to learn how to speak
directly to an idea and engage others in the communication process. Expressing oneself is more
important than impressing others when they are communicating. For example, when students are
in a group discussion, communicating without losing their point can help others expand their ideas
and inspire them to channeltheir inner thoughts as well.
The K to 12 English Curriculum Guide promotes communicative competence through
sub-strands of learning: listening, speaking, reading, writing, and viewing. When all these five
macro skills are provided to the learners, they will develop into effective global citizens who can
communicate and participate in school and civic life.
All languages are interrelated and interdependent. Facility in the first language
(L1) strengthens and supports the learning of other languages (L2). Acquisition of sets of skills
and implicit metalinguistic knowledge in one language (common underlying proficiency or CUP)
provides the base for the development of both the first language (L1) and the second language (L2).
It follows that any expansion of CUP that takes place in one language will have a beneficial effect on
the other language(s). This principle explains why it becomes easier and easier to learn additional
languages.
Learning requires meaning. We learn when we use what we know to understand what
is new. Start with what the students know; use that to introduce new concepts. They use language
to examine new experiences and knowledge in relation to their prior knowledge, experiences, and
beliefs. They make connections, anticipate possibilities, reflect upon ideas, and determine courses
of action.
Learners learn about language and how to use it effectively through their
engagement with and study of texts. The term ‗text‘ refers to any form of written (reading and
writing), oral (listening and speaking) and visual communication involving language
. The texts through which students learn about language are wide-ranging and varied, from brief
conversations to lengthy and complex forms of writing. The study of specific texts is the means
by which learners achieve the desired outcomes of language, rather than an end in itself. Learners
learn to create texts of their own and to engage with texts produced by other people.
The ultimate goal of the Language Arts and Multiliteracies Curriculum is to produce
graduates who apply the language conventions, principles, strategies and skills in (1) interacting
with others, (2) understanding and learning other content areas, and (3) fending for themselves in
whatever field of endeavor they may engage in.
1. Communicative Competence
Communicative Competence is a synthesis of knowledge of basic grammatical principles,
knowledge of how language is used in social settings to perform communicative functions, and how
knowledge of utterances and communicative functions can be combined according to the
principles of discourse. Communicative competence is classified into the following competencies.
2. Multiliteracies
Multiliteracies (multi literacy practices) recognize that there are many kinds of
literacy at work within our society. These include traditional literacy practices using texts as well
as new literacy practices using texts of popular culture such as films. Social literacy encompasses
how we communicate and exchange meaning in our society while professional literacy links with
the notion of literacy for school of the workplace.
The curriculum aims to help learners acquire highly-developed literacy skills that enable
them to understand that English language is the most widely used medium of communication in
Trade and the Arts, Sciences, Mathematics, and in world economy. Furthermore, the curriculum
aims to help learners understand that English language is a dynamic social process which
responds to and reflects changing social conditions, and that English is inextricably involved with
values, beliefs and ways of thinking about ourselves and the world we dwell in. Through multi-
literacy skills, learners will be able to appreciate and be sensitive to sociocultural diversity and
understand that the meaning of any form of communication depends on context, purpose and
audience.
Language Learning Process. Component 1 illustrates learning processes that will effect
acquisition and learning of the language. It explains the how of language learning and
therefore serves as guiding principles for language teaching.
Effective Language Use. Component 2 describes knowledge and skill areas which are
essential to effective language use (understanding of cultures, understanding language,
processes and strategies) which will be developed through language arts (macro-skills).
