Neuroscience and School Teaching of English as a foreign language
One of the most common languages in the world is English. In fact, over 400 million people speak English as their primary language. However, many international conferences take place in English-speaking countries only. English is also the language of science, technology, and education. Therefore, it is important for English teachers to be able to effectively teach it to their students.
Since it is one of the most commonly spoken languages on the planet, schools worldwide teach English as a foreign language to non-English speaking students. However, this teaching method has undergone drastic changes in recent years due to advancements in neuroscience and bilingual education. Teaching EFL involves understanding how the brain processes information and learning strategies for each stage of development. As a result of these changes, the way we teach English as a foreign language is constantly changing to ensure effective communication for all students.
The teaching methods currently being used by schools involve making use of advanced technology such as artificial neural networks (ANN). ANNs model human thought processes and behavior by connecting neurons via pathways. This mimics how the human brain works and can help students understand and learn new concepts and skills. Other modern teaching methods involve using virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) to immerse students in foreign countries and cultures. This allows teachers to effectively teach English through immersive experiences that focus on communication and cultural awareness.
Understanding how the human brain functions is an integral part of neuroscience. One school of thought - called behaviorism - believes that humans are incapable of independent thought or behavior. However, neuroscientists study the human brain using advanced technology such as positron emission scan (PET scan) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Through these technologies, scientists have proven that humans are capable of independent thought and behavior with varying degrees of intensity. In addition, fMRI scans have shown that humans are capable of maintaining attention while processing different types of information. Essentially, schoolteachers need to be mindful when instructing their students in English language learning that they are addressing current cognitive development capabilities.
When teaching English language courses, schoolteachers need to keep their students' current mental capabilities in mind. Some believe that humans are not capable of independent thought; thus, many youths are impulsive when learning a new language. This makes them prone to making errors when speaking or writing in English. In order to address this issue, schoolteachers need to build sufficient time into their coursework so that their students have adequate practice time for every lesson. They should also provide student leaders with sufficient opportunities to practice with teachers throughout the school year so that they can improve their English speaking abilities.
As humanity communicates globally, understanding how the human brain processes information is vital for effective communication and education. Advanced technologies have made it easier for us as a species to connect with people around the world- but those connections only happen if everyone understands what each other is saying and hearing. Ultimately, neuroscience proves that humans are capable of independent thought; thus, schoolteachers should be mindful when instructing their students in English language learning that they are addressing current cognitive development capabilities.

OdpovědětVymazatthere will be plenty of issues with privacy, ads everywhere, pay-walls, chatGTP, issues with soft skills, severe globalization, net neutrality, better world trades, fall of individuality, breaking boundaries within countries, fall of creativity, eradication of the school systems as we know them, rise of piracy, rise of tech literacy - Bekai, Balešová, Černý, Říha
OdpovědětVymazatI think that the internet as we know it will kind of cease to exist in a way that the bots instead of humans will be in charge of it. The Artificial Intelligence a.k.a. AI, at least in my own opinion, will take over the things that are written here, the ads that we´ll be seeing, even the people we´ll be communicating here will be mostly bots. Even now through cookies we´re being monitored so that the internet knows what we´re searching for, what we need etc. in order for the people paying for these technologies that inspect us to get profit. I share this idea with my colleague ms. Anna Marie Petrová.

I think that in like 20 years the landscape of the internet will be majorly different that from today. The AI will take over jobs like designer, music editor, writer, painter and search engines. It can create alot of beautiful things but also alot of dangerous ideas. The main concern of use of AI is in un/conventional war. So it can detect missiles and create major conflicts in matter of seconds. We cannot make it more intelligent that us humans. That's why we have the turing test. We also strive for quantum computers and the combination with AI will be deadly. In today's time we have supercomputers like Google and one in BlackRock company that is used to buy shares in profitable companies by a extremly diffucult prediction. We also need to account for major development in cybernetics/robotics. We will have propably walking robots in 30 years that will roam our cities and deliver food and clean streets for us. Many lower paying jobs will be replaced by robots. Because the running cost of them is much smaller that paying a full time employee. That's why our teacher suggested us to get some jobs that cannot be replaced by machinery/AI.
OdpovědětVymazatIn 20 to 30 years into the future, the school system as we know it will no longer exist. Nothing will be recorded on paper or any other psysical object. Every document will be kept on some form of a cloud and the whole process of education will take place in the world of virtual reality where everything is interactive. Teachers will no longer be needed, as students will be taught by self-learning AI. Thanks to the VR, students will be able to attend school from everywhere.
OdpovědětVymazatRapid growth is already beyond us all. We now either expect the arrival of new technology that will require new adaptation because it would make today´s technology obsolete. The possibility of us standing on top of the technology improvement curve is also very high. We cannot yet tell, only time will tell. We know that the main driving force in technology development is human comfort. ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ
OdpovědětVymazatThe ICT is an ever-evolving collosus of countless small additions, programs, tweaks and multimedia that together form the contemporary outlook (and use) of personal computers. We should not think of ICT as a constant, however. After all, mere ten years ago we used programs and social networks that are considered long dead nowadays. Who knows what the future will bring? Indeed, as beneficial as it is, ICT constantly evolves, and so too must we adapt in order to be able to "catch up" with the constant stream of novelties. As a whole, ICT is invaluable for departments like education, economics, the government & others. A tool to make our lives easier, but one that requires at least a moderate amount of our time and patience to learn.
OdpovědětVymazatThere is a possibility of using technology in the way of providing students with databases of the topics discused in class. The advantage is the ability to return to previously covered topics when there is a need to go back. But the goal of the database should not be providing students with everything but rather the basics needed to pass the class. This would provide a chance for the ambitious and talented students, but also it would create a safety net for those who may be a little behind or not interested in the subject. Apps suited for this are for example Quizlet.
OdpovědětVymazatAI is going to have a bigger impact. It is gonna be more advanced, which will cause problems
OdpovědětVymazatbecause teachers will have bigger difficulties knowing what work is done by the student and what is done by AI.
Todays' generations are going to be more technology savvy compared to generations before, which might make the education faster and more effective.
Also AI might take over the world and we will have to live underground and fight machines like in the movie Terminator. God bless us all. ✝️ Rund, Tomášek
In the future PC technology will be the most used over anything, at least until we come up with something even better. Normal people will no longer exist because everyone will have so much information and everything will be so automatic nothing will be the same as now.
OdpovědětVymazatThe ICT and overall implementation of internet allows for wider spread of information and possibility to find and gain new knowledge. By newly developing and learning ai we can develop with assisting hand and makes thinks more smooth for basic consumer.

OdpovědětVymazatI think, that students will rely more and more on artificial inteligence instead of trying to find informations on their own.
