2 Introduction: English is the global language, as it is the widely spoken language in the world. It has spread across the globe as it spoken as the second language in many countries including India. English language always has a privileged position in India. English is the key subject of medium of instruction in schools and colleges. It is always considered to be a high prestige to study in an English medium institution. Though the number of English medium schools and colleges have been penetrated in the nook and corner of the country yet it is challenging to get good English. Many students are scared to learn English and this consistently makes them loss interest in learning the language. To overcome these hurdle teachers must implement interesting and creative methods to make learners learn English in a better way. They should create interest among students. As the students show much interest in using new technology, the teacher can make use of the new technologies to develop the English language teaching. This can result in an effective and meaningful way in the classroom teaching and learning. The tradition of English teaching has been drastically changed with the remarkable entry of technology. Technology provides so many options as making teaching interesting and also making teaching more productive in terms of improvements. Technology satisfies both visual and auditory senses of the students. The use of English language has increased rapidly after At present, the role and status of English is that it is the language of social context, political, socio-cultural, business, education, industries, media, library, communication across borders, and key subject in curriculum and language of imparting education. It is also a crucial determinant for university entrance and processing well paid jobs in the commercial sector. Since there are more and more English learners in India, different teaching methods have been implemented to test the effectiveness of the teaching process. One method involves multimedia in ELT in order to create English contexts. This helps students to get involved and learn according to their interests. It has been tested effectively and is widely accepted for teaching English in modern world. The use of technology in teaching English language has brought a drastic change from the traditional teaching method. Use of authentic materials in the form of films, radio, TV has been there for a long time. It is true that these technologies have proved successful in replacing the traditional teaching. These technologies provides various options as making teaching interesting and the productivity will also be improved
3 Multimedia Classroom: The use of multimedia in the classroom cannot be denied in the present education scenario. In the usual traditional teaching method the teacher uses chalk and talk method, gives instruction, dictation, explanation and information by standing in front of the classroom. In this present scenario the technology plays an important role in the life of many youngsters so it is hard to deny the use of multimedia inside and outside the classroom. The development of technology is being helpful in all possible ways. So by bringing new technologies inside the classroom, the teaching and learning can be fun, interesting and happier one. Unlike the traditional classroom setting, the multimedia classroom setting has more space and plenty of room to spread work. All the equipments needed for teaching will be placed inside the classroom. The use of multimedia described here makes use of print texts, film and Internet to develop and enhance linguistics and knowledge. Through their interactions with multimedia texts on topic of interest, students become increasingly familiar with academic vocabulary and language structures. Using print, film and Internet as resources for studying provides students with opportunities to gather information through stimuli that will stimulate their imaginations, engage their interest and introduce them to the raw materials for analysis and interpretation of both language and context. Thus they greatly increase their overall knowledge base, as well as their English language and critical literacy skills, facilitating their performance in future college courses. Although various studies support the application of multimedia in the classroom, Liu, Jones and Hem street (1998) point out that the design of multimedia is useful when technology is to have any effect on learning. One of the main purposes of software in writing is to facilitate the development of academic writing skills for students through the use of the objects matter for writing assignments. The program is presented as a simulation game to interest and motivation. Students using the program found themselves in the virtual world of education. The Computer Internet Computer technology has given Internet, which has various uses. Internet has given the students a wide range of collection of English language texts. Before the general use of computers in colleges and universities to teach writing, students met in a traditional classroom were taught to write standard essay. Instruction was personified commonly by the teachers standing behind a lectern or by the teacher marking errors on student texts (Blair, 1997). The computer has given the internet in which the print and visual materials are 190
4 invariably bound. With the one touch of mouse the students can collect many authentic materials for learning English with the visuals such as pictures, slide shows, power point presentations and videos. This computerised learning gives additional benefits of students motivation and interest in learning the language. The students often spend much time in the language laboratories to learn the English language better as it the language to read and write from internet. This gives greater confidence in their ability to use the English language. However, the general uses of computers are rarely found in traditional classroom. For instance, students attend the regular classes that were taught to write the standard essay. With the technology use, the students do not only literate the ability to read and write but also to be able to understand music, video, hypertext and networked communications. Whitaker (1995) points out clearly that technology as something to expand human potential rather than substitute for it and which enhances the thought process rather than cripples it. A study conducted by Kasper (1997) illustrate that teaching English using multimedia such as print, film, video, Internet to students encourage them to write a critical analysis on assignments. Overall, the students achievement increased significantly 92 % of the students passed on departmental reading and writing examinations. In addition, their feedback on discussions is very positive. They express confidence in their ability to use English. They attribute this improvement to the multimedia model that the texts teach them English and provide helpful information in other courses and the film and Internet help them make material easier to understand because they see, hear, and read about the topic. Film: The film can provide the learners a visual treat. Here the students can understand both visual and verbal comprehension. By watching the film the students are expected to understand the expressions and pronunciation of the audio. It can help the students to develop their vocabulary as it will be fun and interesting in learning. The students can be made to watch novel videos. After viewing the film, the class can arrange for a discussion about the essay topics, themes, morals, techniques in the film. This can develop their communication skill. The Advantages of Using Multimedia in ELT: The use of multimedia technology featuring audio and visual animation effects in teaching English language greatly cultivates students interest and motivation in the study and their involvement in the classroom activities
5 The brainstorming activities, group discussions, debates in the use of multimedia in teaching English promote the students positive thinking and communication skills. The use of multimedia widens the path to gain knowledge by offering them abundant information than in text-book. Multimedia teachings enrich teaching content and make the best of class time and break the teacher-centered teaching pattern and fundamentally improve class efficiency. Multimedia teaching stresses the role of students, and enhances the importance of interaction between teachers and students. The use of multimedia makes the classroom teaching more lively and interesting. Multimedia teaching is flexible. This is student-centered process. The students can solve their problems which they face while learning with the use of internet itself. CONCLUSION Through the interaction with multimedia, the students become increasingly familiar with academic vocabulary and language structure. Connecting with the Internet will make the benefit of increased student motivation. Students are eager to begin class and often arrive early at the computer lab, logging on the Internet and beginning research on their own. They also often stay after class to continue working on the Internet. Overall, students develop greater confidence in their ability to use English because they need to interact with the Internet through reading and writing. Using multimedia provides the students to gather information through media that encourages their imaginations, interests. Learning process is the only life long process in one s life. But the only thing is that everyone desires the learning to be an easy one. The teachers should make the students to adapt to the changes. Multimedia has become an indispensible tool in English teaching classrooms. The new technology paves way for more innovative methods in teaching English
