Halina's Conversational English

What do you think about THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION

We are observing  “a revolution in education.” We know that improving technology play a distinctive role in the evolution, and traditional foundations will face challenges in the future.

I have been looking for initial findings on the future of the 21st-century education.

As a passionate teacher, I am interested how do I best educate my the students?

It is not about what I teach, but about how I teach them.

According to the recent literature, on the subject, today’s education is behind new requirements and technologies.

There is a vibrant debate about preparing teachers to use new technics as well as how up-to-date educators might become more“future-oriented” and familiar with new skills.

I am interested in discussing these thoughts with others.

Certainly, we should take into account the varied nature of education, which is especially significant,  in developing countries.

I do not try to search for a universal remedy of worldwide education with not the same needs. It would be unrealistic.

Although, the future education will become more technically driven, I need to underline that new technology is not going to substitute students in a classroom.

More than that, it will neither replace the social life nor the progress learners they go through as part of their study.

The presentation is about how to communicate efficiently and the ways of improving communication skills.

My online activity inspired me to get reverting to my earlier research about effective communication.

From my view, connecting with the use of the Internet seems to be creating new questions about the way people communicate.

I am working to present a theoretical backdrop to the principles of the process of communication, as well as communications skills models.

My approach is based on the well-known model of the functions of language introduced by  Roman Jakobson. Although it is recognizable that Jakobson’s theory can be challenged on numerous grounds from a theoretical perspective, I have always been linked with his theoretical explanation of the purposes of linguistic communication.

“Jakobson and Halle’s initial statement of the principles of linguistic organization should be made available to all future generations of linguists. It builds a solid foundation for Saussurean thinking about linguisic oppositions and establishes distinctive feature theory as the basis of their formal treatment.”

Prof. Dr. William Labov, University of Pennsylvania, Department of Linguistics

Along with Roman Jakobson’s  functions of the language model, we can formulate some basic queries.

·       What is Communication?

·       The Categories of Communication.

·       The Communication Process.

·       Communication Channels.

·       Principles of Communication.

·       Interpersonal Communication Skills.

·       What is an online communication?

·       The Benefits of Blogging.
