1.0 Introduction
Computerized aided teaching system is similar to the experiential model of teaching. The adherents of experiential teaching are fairly adamant about how we learn. Teaching seldom takes place by rote. Teaching occurs because we immerse ourselves in a situation in which we are forced to perform. You get feedback from the computer output and then adjust your thinking-process if needed. Unfortunately, most classroom courses are not teaching systems. The way the instructors attempt to help their students acquire skills and knowledge has absolutely nothing to do with the way students actually learn. Many instructors rely on lectures and tests, and memorization. All too often, they rely on “telling.” No one remembers much that’s taught by telling, and what’s told doesn’t translate into usable skills. Certainly, we learn by doing, failing, and practicing until we do it right. The computer assisted teaching serve this purpose. If the teaching environment is focused on background information, knowledge of terms and new concepts, the learner is likely to learn that basic information successfully. However, this basic knowledge may not be sufficient to enable the learner to carry out successfully the on-the-job tasks that require more than basic knowledge. With recent advances in multimedia technology, computer-aided language learning (CALL) has emerged as a tempting alternative to traditional modes of direct teaching, the integration of sound, voice interaction, text, video, and animation has made it possible to create self-paced interactive teaching environments that promise to enhance the classroom model of language teaching significantly and effectively.
1.1 Background Of Study
Early aided teaching, base on computer base learning/training often attempt to replicate autocratic teaching styles the role of the teaching system was assumed to be for transferring knowledge, as opposed to system later base on computer supported collaborative teaching (CSCT), which encourage the shared development of knowledge. As early as 1993, Graziadei William described an online computer-delivered lecture, tutorial and assessment project using electronic program that allow student and instructor to create a virtual instructional classroom Environment in service and teaching (REST), In 1997 Graziadei, W. et al, published an article entitled Building Asynchronous and synchronous teaching learning environment
1.2 Statement Of Problem
The problems that necessitated this project include:
- The difficulties people face during teaching.
- The vast scope of English language.
- Inability of some people to understand English language pronunciation.
- Improper ways of enlightening people on English language
- Lack of conducive environment for teaching.
- Time wasted in impacting English language knowledge to the people.
- The need arise for the development of software for computerized aided teaching system on English language in order to solve these problems.
- Purpose of this study is to develop Computerized aided teaching system on English language. The program will assist people to know more about English language.
1.3 Significance Of Study
With the growth in information technology, the study offers numerous examples in software tutor. People do not need to depend totally on English lecturers to know more about English language but slot aided teaching system software on English language to listen to it. Time wasted in educating people on English language is reduced to the bare minimum as the software help to facilitate work. Individuals on their own can also buy the software in order to know more about English language.
1.4 Aims And Objectives
The aims and objectives of this project are listed below:
- Increase the awareness and understanding of the value of aided teaching system on English language in our society.
- Achieve efficient and reasonable regulation of Computerized aided teaching system.
- Interact with appropriate government agencies on reimbursement and technology assessment policies
- Expand the global acceptance of the Computerized aided teaching system
- Improve regulatory harmonization of the global market for Computerized aided teaching system
- Develop software that will assist people in knowing more about English language.
- To eliminate time wasted when educating people on English language.
All these contributed to show that the Computerized aided teaching system are now been influence by information technology.
1.5 Scope Of Study
This project work is narrowed to Computerized aided teaching system on English language for schools and individual use only
1.6 Limitation Of Study
Owing to the scope of this project work as stated above, this project work is limited to the Computerized aided teaching system on English language.
It is important to mention here that time was a major constraint in the course of fact finding. It is also wise to mention here that some information we need to work with were not collected because of the unwillingness of the some medical personnel in reviewing such vital information needed for this project work.
1.7 Assumption Of Study
One of the major assumptions made in this project work is that manual methods of enlightening on English language are times ineffective, time wasting and high level of energy dissipation.
It is also assumed that with the level of development in information technology, there is a serious demand to join this trend of information technology.
It is also assumed Computerized aided teaching system on English language software will enhance and facilitate educational work.
1.8 Importance Of Study
The research study is aimed at elimination and eradication all manual system if teaching English Language, the project will help initiate effective and wonderful performance in English for the benefits of leaders of tomorrow.
Moreover, this research work will be of great benefit to the future researcher on the same problem because of approach to the fact findings not as passive exercise rather all information were examined critically and challenged.
