Essential drawbacks of using multimedia affecting both students and teachers in language teaching classes

Abstract

Nowadays foreign language teachers are using technology in the classroom more often than ever before. Learners who use a high volume of technology perform as well as expected on the lessons, however technology can potentially have negative effects for students if used inappropriately. When training with the use of technology teachers should be aware of potential obstacles that technology can make to the educational process. Some of the negative effects of modern technology in the classroom lies in the fact that they can take away essential study time, they can be abused, and they can transform the educational experience for students in the game, which can miss the main point of the lesson. To fully understand creative education and the use of multimedia, it is necessary to realize that technology applications serve as an aid to effective teaching and learning, not a goal, and should under no circumstances dominate the classroom. In today's classrooms, teachers are forced to count every minute. If the teacher and students are inexperienced with technology in the classroom, precious time is often wasted on technical issues. In addition, the teacher faces difficulties associated with the presence in the class of students of different levels of training. In many schools, most students will have a computer and Internet access, but schools located in poor areas may have a large proportion of students with little or no computer experience.
