Analyzing Language Proficiency via Technological and Digital Platforms: A Case Study of Science Graduate Students

Ankita Satapathy, Ph.D.

Abstract

This study aims to improve first year science students' speaking abilities via technology. The guidelines and practices intended to provide aspiring instructors with expertise, attitudes, behaviours, and skills required for successful performance in the classroom, school, and larger society are collectively referred to as teacher education. Speaking plays an important role when it comes to language uses and probably is the most primary medium. It includes the linguistic description of spoken language, the social and environmental features of speaking as an activity, and the dynamics of speaking as interaction. Verbal communication is, in fact, an essential part of human life. When listening to a speaker, people automatically concentrate on their vocal qualities. People make tentative, possibly unconscious judgments regarding the character and sentiments of the speaker, and other characteristics based on auditory data. They create a discourse texture that strengthens and amplifies their message by manipulating speed, pauses, and changes in pitch, loudness, and substance.

Keywords: Digital Platforms, Foreign language, Educational strategies, Learning a second language, language proficiency.

Introduction

The distinguishing characteristics of technology in education and its effects on communication and instruction are highlighted in this paper. After a given amount of listening time, students often feel exhausted. But machines don't get tired. The growing need for smart classrooms is explained in this article. Students are engaged in the classroom when PowerPoint and whiteboards are used. Some types of technological uses to enhance the language proficiency of science graduates is discussed below.

Students can enhance their language proficiency through video tapes, scenes from well-known English movies may be shown without a script. After that, the students are told to recognize the words and writing. The scripts will then be shown on the screen while the scene is repeated. Students can learn English pronunciation, accent, and vocabulary in an entertaining way by watching both scripted and unscripted videotapes. They will be encouraged to freely repeat it at home with this tactic. Software for Communication Labs is available to improve LSRW abilities. Communication Labs Software allows for the integration of suitable software to improve LSRW abilities. Students will regularly interact with computers by using suitable software, which will improve their speaking, listening, reading, and writing abilities, all of which are critical in today's modern world. A person with listening skills can understand what someone else is saying. Effective communication of one's wants and thoughts to others requires proficient speaking abilities. To understand the information in the book, one must be proficient at reading. We can express our ideas through writing. Instead of creating boredom, the use of headphones in the lab increases student engagement with the material and promotes repeated practice. Students are given autonomy in the communication lab, which enables them to hone their skills apart from their teachers. Students can arrange the learning process to meet their needs and advance at their own pace. Students can watch technological developments in real time by integrating new software. Video Conferencing can also be used as a technique that allows a person to listen to the words of people who are in various parts of the world. It is a live broadcast of a show that is mainly used to watch a professor's lecture from a far off country. In conclusion, It is really beneficial for learners to comprehend world events and to actively participate in the speeches of notable individuals. The ability for students to ask questions and receive prompt answers is the most important feature of video conferencing. Students can also collect the recorded videos of the class. Students who miss interesting classes will benefit from this. Students will have access to documentation of the faculty's instruction. The videos are available to the students in their free time. This method enables students to repeat it as needed. English language learners have a plethora of possibilities on the Internet. The portmanteau "blog" is created by combining the concepts "web" and "log." Readers can leave comments and questions on the blog. The blog is particularly beneficial to new users because it facilitates their membership. The students might become members of a particular blogging community. Users can add MP3 files and videos to some blogs. Blogs that are compatible with audio can incorporate spoken word contributions. Other blogs might be connected to this audio blogging. In essence, a blog is an online journal where students can share their ideas, opinions, and thoughts. When an instructor is not in the classroom, candidates can be trained through blogging. The students are allowed to submit their questions and comments when the instructor publishes his essay or directions. The teacher may respond to the question on his blog. Blogging seems to be widely used.
