Текст научной работы на тему «The role of multimedia technology in teaching the English language»

Cholga shohi to 'n kiygizibdi. Он одел старику атласный халат. He presented him a satin robe.

Here the word "shohi to'n" is replaced with "satin robe", but this word gives the meaning of "dressing gown". The word "to'n" is better to be not translated, i.e. its meaning could be presented in brackets, because this word is national Uzbek cloth [3, 114].

Chol chanqovini bosish uchun daryo labiga suv ichishga boribdi. "Схожу-ка я реке и напьюсь " - подумал он. "I'll go the river and quench my thirst", he thought.

The above translations do not conside with the original. Because, the usage of direct speech instead of indirect one, besides that some words should not be translated as in the example "daryo labiga" "to the river" it can be replaced by the following "to the bank of the river", furthermore "chol" should not be translated as personal pronoun "he" and "он" in Russian it has got the equivalent in English as "old man". This method of translation is called lexeme altering in the given case the author did not use this approach.

To sum up the cases we find out in translation should be approached as the real issues. As it has been said above the translation is the bridge between nations and it serves to bound the souls of people with each other. One of its features is to introduce the culture treasure, custom and traditions of various countries.

Abstract: this article shows the advantages of multimedia technology in today's education,

and science also offering some modern styles in learning English.

Keywords: language, teach, change, learners, activities, developing, education.

Today there is a lot of teaching ways the English language. Some English lessons are taught by computer, internet, smart phones and multimedia technology. Multimedia technology is the best way to teach the English languages. Moreover, you can see many opportunities of multimedia technology. With the develop of science and technology, the use of multimedia technology in language teaching has created an important methods and exploring English language teaching models in the new age.

Nowadays, as the use of English is increasing very fast day by day in the world, the teachers of English feel that they need change in their language teaching methods. For this reason, they are working hard without stopping. Teachers also use more multimedia technology than other technologies. They use some kind of audio, visual, some interesting pictures about English and

animation to the learners in order to improve student's interests and these effects all learners deeply hard to learn English. Multimedia technology plays a positive role in improving activities and energize of students and teaching effect in the classrooms. For the time being multimedia technology is developing so fast that all learners are learning very quickly [1.42].

For this reason, it is important for language teachers to be aware of the latest and the best equipment and to have all information of what is available in any given situations. For the time being all teachers teach pupils, students by using multimedia technology. Consequently, it is very important and useful to teach them. Teachers can use multimedia technology to create more attractive and encouraging language classes. There are many techniques which are necessary in different forms to English language teaching situations that now threaten "to undermine the classroom completely as a place of study.

Some methods are useful for testing and further education; some for teaching business English, spoken English, reading, listening or interpreting. The main principle of teaching must be appreciating new technologies without taking over the role of the teacher and without limiting the methods of traditional teaching principle. There are many different reasons why all language teachers and learners must know how to make use of the new technology, the new technologies have been created and are used so quickly that we cannot avoid their attraction and influence on all of us: both teachers and learners are making profit by multimedia technology.

As the multimedia technology becomes more rapidly available to all of us, it seems appropriate that the language teachers should integrate it into their lesson and are planning in the same way, they are teaching with video some interesting activities funny games in order to create students interests. Students are surrounded by multimedia technology and this technology can provide interesting and new modern ways to increase language teaching because the use of technology for teaching and learning is moving their institution in the right direction [3.65].

In this way, the teachers of English can take full advantage of technology to teach English learners to learn foreign languages. Now there some kind of the important advantages of the use of multimedia technology. These are: the use of multimedia technology, "connected to the target culture" multimedia technology supply the students with more information than textbooks, and helps them to be familiar with essential information about English and real-life language materials, which can attract the students to learning learners not only improve their listening ability, but also learn the culture of the target language. Having the abundant information through the use of multimedia technology, the students can be equipped with knowledge about the culture of the target language. This technology brings about an information sharing chance among students and makes them actively participate in the class activities that support the students to learn the language more quickly and effectively [2.79].

They have noticed 'A language cannot be taught. One can only create conditions for learning to take place, and by using multimedia, one certainly creates such conditions. All nine approaches to language teaching that were used throughout the history, grammar-translation approach, direct approach, reading approach, audio legalism, situational approach, cognitive approach, affective humanistic approach, comprehension-based approach, and communicative approach here are only brought together in multimedia and web usage. This is something that every teacher needs to have in mind when pondering over using multimedia or not.

In other words: Multimedia technology is very useful for both teachers and learners. If every teacher uses multimedia very well all learners learn the English language effectively. The main purpose of using multimedia technology in language teaching is to promote students motivation and learning interest in the English language. The use of multimedia technology can improve the students* thinking and practical language skills. Multimedia technology gives good effects of English language teaching.

Abstract: in this article it is discussed the importance of multimedia technologies in teaching foreign languages. Moreover it gives us brief information about the advantages of these technologies. The author states that Language is the mirror of every country. So in our country a great attention has been paying for learning foreign languages. In order to reach effective progresses, there different methods have been created, not only methods but also the new ways. One of these is using multimedia technologies in language learning process. It is a kind of learning or teaching system that using from this technology can be rather fruitful than the previous ways of teaching. Moreover it is a century of modem technology and there are given new technologies and duties by the new era to the modem languages teachers. Keywords: technology, dramatically, English, effective, hardware, amount.

Technology has got so many options as it makes teaching interesting and productive, because it has capability to attract the language learners. Because of these technologies, the tradition of language teaching process has been dramatically changed. As the English language teaching models change rapidly, there has been a significant growth of literature regarding the use of technology in English language teaching. However this paper is not going to refuse that old ways of teaching, they have their own place in language learning even though there have multimedia technologies. The main things that teachers should do is combining these both ways together and create more effective teaching methods. There are a great amount of opportunities for students to gain confidence in learning foreign languages, especially English, who learn for more just full. For them to keep learning languages and to gain more confidence, the world of multimedia technologies are the most productive ones. In here, multimedia technologies refer to computer -based interactive applications that use both the hardware and software and it allows people to exchange their ideas and information [1.142]. Multimedia technologies are considered as a combination of text, graphics, animation, video and sound. So by using them, one can use all of these at the same time and take pleasure from both learning and doing some interactive activities. Moreover, computer § based language learning offers a lot of sources for the learners who want to learn languages by themselves. For example, in CD-ROMs "Learn to speak English", "Speak English like a native speakers", Fun English" and "Triple Play" or such kind of materials are very favorable for the learner who wants to learn English.

Interaction with computers is "fundamentally social and natural". Simple controls provide easy navigation to any point of training program. While doing some activities learners have opportunities to choose both pace and direction of the course by repeating,

reviewing, advancing as many times as desired. Furthermore, multimedia programs help learners to correct their pronunciation by listening the native speakers' speech. They are offered to learn how to pronounce words correctly. Besides that following the native speakers' speech and imitating their pronunciation, helps them to speak both correctly and fluently [2.104].

And also, by using multimedia technologies, learners can be aware of a lot of information connected to target languages' culture, than other textbooks or resources They helps students to be known with cultural backgrounds and real-life language materials, which can attract the students to learning. By the help learners not only improve their listening ability, but also learn the culture of the target language. Having the abundant information through the use of multimedia technology, the students can be equipped with knowledge about the culture of the target language. It brings about an information sharing opportunity among students and makes them actively participate in the class activities that help the students to learn the language more quickly and actively.

However, it is not true to think that by helping multimedia programs , students can only improve their speaking or listening skills, but at the same time both grammar and vocabulary. There are so many activities belonged to these aspects either. Teaching grammar with the help of multimedia claims to be very useful and progressive, because, using structural models and some action- described pictures are more recognizable and easy to understand than explaining or understanding the whole grammar rules. They bring the learners attention not only learning grammar but also they learn how to use what they have already know [3.166].

As a conclusion, it is worst to mention that computer technologies and multimedia programs are getting one of the main parts of learning foreign languages. And the main purpose of using these technologies is to encourage the student* motivation and interests in target language. While using them both teachers and learners have to work on their selves. Teachers should provide their students with the most suitable programs, and make students to feel the beauty of the target language as well, students also should avoid of teacher- centered classes and feel themselves as there are not in a boring lesson, but one of the favorable and interesting one. So only helping of the multimedia programs we can reach these goals.
