The Reason For Using Wikis in my Teaching The Reason For Using Wikis in my Teaching As the 21st century is - the century of modern technologies, a great number of people know how to use them and how to sorf on th Internet ando so on. also they know at least one type of Wikis - it's Wikipedia. A big amount of people rely on Wikipedia when they search any information or definition and mostly learners, students use Wikis. I also want to use Wikis in my teaching, as it is convenient for learners and they can practice, also using Wikis may result in progress of learners. Wikis fit in well with the practice of constructivist teaching and learning. Basically, if you believe that students learn better by actively participating in the learning process, generating their own “theories” about how language works, and practising language in collaboration with peers, then wikis are tool you cannot neglect. Wikis support different kinds of collaborative learning as they allow users to develop their own rough version of a text which can then be updated and edited by others. Checking, correcting and up-dating the wiki entries can be a potentially valuable way of learning to write in a foreign language, with help and support from peers, and also with a ready audience. What is more, Wikis have some advantages using in teaching. For example, They allow students to be actively engaged in reading and writing: correcting, editing, and up-dating; They are quick and simple to use and allow collaboration, independently of time and space, via easily accessible online spaces; They are flexible enough to incorporate multi-media content and so on. To conclude, I think that Wikis are very usefull and convenient to use as for teachers, as for learners. Wikis can help students become better organised because they can store their work in folders. In addition, wikis can also support teachers in their classroom management.
