Abstract

Recently, especially with the COVID-19 experience, the need to deploy technology in education has taken center stage. Before the pandemic, many teachers did not particularly consider the use of technology as a valuable resource for teaching and learning. However, this is rapidly beginning to change. Many languages programmed in the country are now experimenting with and utilizing technology in learning. Appropriate use of these new resources has effectively upgraded language instruction and learning. Much time, effort, and money has been spent researching and implementing new and existing technology to improve language training. Twenty-five language educators, in a focus group session conducted, feel that now is the time when the use of technological resources to enhance the learning experience will offer the highly motivated learner an efficient and flexible means of attaining basic communicative competence in language learning. The paper discusses how technology can facilitate learning in language teaching. The paper discusses the need to use some technologies for language teaching, like Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, YouTube, and Facebook, which can be easily accessible to computers, iPads, and Android devices. The research notes that with modern technology, one can learn without necessarily being in the physical classroom. Modern language teaching and learning technology makes learning easily accessible anytime and anywhere, provided internet connectivity exists.

Abstract

Information Communication Technology (ICT) facilitates teaching and learning especially in the 21st century where online/digital resources have taken over the globe. The polytechnic is designed to train students who form the nation’s manpower. This paper examined the challenges faced by Plateau State Polytechnic English lecturers in utilizing ICT for manpower development. The study was necessitated by the call from educators around the world for the incorporation and effective utilization of online resources in teaching and learning. In order to investigate the challenges experienced by lecturers in the polytechnic over the utilization of ICT in manpower development through the teaching of English, a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) was conducted on the departmental WhatsApp platform of the Department of General Studies of the polytechnic consisting of eighteen English lecturers. The study adopted Computer-Aided Language Learning (CALL) as its framework. The result of the FCD revealed among others that there were so many problems hampering the utilization of ICT in the teaching and learning in the institution. These challenges principally are related to data infrastructure, knowledge infrastructure and management infrastructure. The study concluded that there was need to put in place ICT facilities in the polytechnic for the lecturers to utilize in the teaching of English being the central language of communication in the development of the nation’s manpower. Key words: Challenges, ICT, Manpower, Polytechnic, Utilization.

Abstract

The development of any society to a large extent depends on the degree of the security of lives and property of the citizens. A secure environment encourages intellectuals who are the drivers of nation-building; it also ensures national development. In recent years, Nigeria has been witnessing serious security threats that seem to have overwhelmed the nation’s security network and this has slowed down development in the country. This paper in light if these present realities, examined how technological innovations such as the integration of proper Information Communication Technology (ICT) resolve the emerging security threats bedeviling the country.  Integrating ICT in the humanities can help increase the rate of development in the country and also help resolve the emerging security threats bedeviling the country. Data for the paper was derived from a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) conducted via WhatsApp with fifteen selected academic staff who are in the humanities at the University of Jos. The data collected formed the basis of the discussion in the paper. The theoretical framework adopted is Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) because it explains how technology can be utilized in language learning and evidently in the humanities to resolve challenging issues. The paper discovered that the humanities have not been fully integrated with ICT and have also not been effectively utilized in the quest for advancing development in Nigeria and resolving security challenges. The paper recommended amongst others the full integration of ICT in the humanities to expand the scope of the field to be utilized in resolving security challenges in the country.
