Advantages of Interactive Learning Multimedia
5 Learners must be ready to acquire the points being taught To help the learners acquire the points of being taught, the materials
should be presented in the formula of i + 1. “i” represents what has already been learned and “1” represents what is available for learning. The learners need a
comprehensible input that they are already familiar and contain a potential to learn new elements.
6 Material should expose the learners to language in authentic use A comprehensible input that provides enough exposure of authentic and
comprehensible input is needed to facilitate the language acquisition. The exposure should be rich and varied and meet the learners’ proficiency.
7 Materials should take into account that the positive effect of instruction are usually delayed
Language acquisition is not an instant process but it needs a gradual process. In facilitating gradual process, the materials should recycle the
knowledge that has been learnt. Frequent and ample exposures in the instructed language feature should also be given to the learners.
8 Materials should take into account that learners differ in learning styles Each leaner may have different learning styles. Language learning styles
may include visual, auditory, kinesthetic, experimental, analytic, global, dependent, and independent.
9 Materials should maximize learning potential by encouraging intellectual, aesthetic and emotional involvement which stimulates both right and left
brain activities.
Materials that encourage many cerebral activities in the brain will maximize the recall of the new knowledge. Thus varied series of activities is
needed such as analytic, creative, evaluative, and rehearsal demands on processing capacity can lead to deeper and more durable learning.
10 Materials should provide opportunities for outcome feedback Feedback which focused on the effectiveness of the output and on its
accuracy can lead to output which becomes profitable input source. It is important for the materials to provide activities that intend to produce outcome than just
practicing language.
