Abstract

The teaching of English has gone through different methodologies and approaches over time. In the past, teachers would use basic tools like a green board and chalk in the classroom to perform their class. With the advent of technological resources, the professionals in the teaching of English have learned to integrate these helpful resources in order to facilitate their lives. Teachers of English as a Second Language need to find creative ways to help students to comprehend the complexity of the language in its different elements such as grammar, sound, and form. Since the end of World War II, English has become the universal lingua franca. Thousands of people learn it as a foreign or second language around the world. In the last decades, technology has progressed and improved in a variety of ways. With the development of technology, education has also seen a change in the teaching methodology. Modern teachers can plug a laptop to a flat television screen and present a video, images, dialogues, role-plays, listening exercises, movies, and all that can be done with this marvelous technological device.
