| Description | In last decades there has been an enormous increase in using technology in education. New modern devices developed for different spheres have found their usage in schools and very often have been still raising lots of controversial opinions and questions. Probably the most discussed one is if technology helps to improve the quality of educational process. If so, in what ways? Many Czech schools have spent large sums of money for equipping their classrooms with interactive boards. Can these help in teaching English and developing the learners’ communicative competence to fulfil the goal stated in the Framework Educational Programme (2007)? The contribution brings the first results of the research. It describes the process and results of the research on using interactive boards in teaching English at lower-secondary stage of elementary schools. The research focused on ways of using this modern device, on types of interaction and mainly tried to find out whether there is sufficient space for developing communicative competence. |
