IT which are the most effective in EFL class

  Everyone knows about the existence of the Internet today. It can be used for absolutely different purposes: for searching of some information, for the entertaining, for searching of new friends and even of a second half, for the exchange of some personal information and so on. One of the most effective ways is to use it for the educational purposes. It is very comfortable to learn English just sitting at home on your own chair near the computer. And it is comfortable not only to learn but also to teach.

   I think that every person who uses the Internet knows about the existence of the Skype. With the help of this program you can communicate with the other person, or even with the group of persons. There is no matter where you are or where they are. You can be in Ukraine and your friend may be in India, there is no matter. You will hear him and also see (if he has a web-camera). And it is an absolutely free service inside the Internet. There are a lot of sites in the Internet, which propose the services of tutor on absolutely different languages. You can study any foreign language with the help of the professional teacher. And you do not even need to leave the house. On the other hand, if you have a diploma and a good foreign language knowledge you can find a work as a tutor trough the Internet. The Skype can be also used for the communication between two persons, who want to train their foreign language speaking abilities.

 Another kind of activities for learning English is the system of blogs. We use it and personally I think that it is rather convenient, but predominantly for learning to write correctly and to understand the foreign language. But nevertheless it is rather effective when we speak about the group of students. The teacher can give and cheek the tasks, the students can see all the works and can comment on them.

 A few years ago a method of the 25-th shot was rather popular. You could reserve a video through the Internet which will help in the quick remembering of a great quantity of words. But the scientists proved that it is not effective.

 Not a long time ago I’ve known about the project «Second Life». It is a game but not a usual one. The person lives in the virtual world in the real sense of this word. It is like an RPG game but you can speak into the microphone and the other virtual but really exists person will hear and see your virtual hero in the real time. Moreover people can spend real money here. Every day people buy and spend here at least two million dollars! Some persons use this service for the promoting of their new songs, things or services. Other people meet here just for the communication. I think it is rather useful for the foreign language studying. It at least raises the motivation.

   In the end I want to remember about some already usual services. First of all there are the electronic vocabularies. They make the process of translation much quicker. Moreover, you can find rare free electronic on-line vocabularies. Some of them it is practically unreal to find in the shops.  The person can check his or her knowledge with the help of the special Internet sites. There are several tests. You can also find hundreds of foreign films with or without the subtitles. And of course bilingual books.

  Decide what is more comfortable and effective: to travel that to communicate with the foreigners, to visit several shops and libraries for searching of the vocabularies or just to use the Internet for these purposes. You are to decide.
