Teaching an English Lesson: Smart Phones of Students’ as Teaching Aids

Author(s) Dr. S.V. RAMESH KUMAR
Country India
Abstract The conventional English classroom in India has long been characterized by a teacher-centric approach, predominantly facilitating one-way communication. This paradigm of English Language Teaching (ELT) prevailed in Indian classrooms throughout the 1980s. By the 1990s, a transformative shift had occurred within the educational landscape, where the Indian English teachers began to integrate various teaching aids, such as charts and visual images, into their pedagogical practices.
As we moved into the 2000s, the advent of the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) methodology further revolutionized the approach to English language education. This innovative framework introduced a plethora of collaborative activities, including pair work, group discussions, debates, seminar presentations, peer teaching, and group tasks, which energized the English classroom environment. By the 2010s, a significant disruption swept through the curriculum of undergraduate English classes, fundamentally altering the approach to teaching. The omnipresence of smart phones emerged as a distraction, luring students' attention away from traditional teaching aids and engagement in class activities.
This article explores the innovative utilization of smart phones as pedagogical tools in the context of teaching an English lesson. It highlights a teaching experiment conducted in the English classroom for UG Semester-1 students at Govt. Degree College in Pakala, specifically during the academic year 2025-26. The focus of this experiment lies in integrating smart phones within the students' learning experience, utilizing these devices as effective aids in the instruction of English.
Keywords English Language Teaching, Communicative Language Teaching, Teacher centric, Student centric, Peer Teaching, Smart Teaching, Smart phones.
