The Effect of the Use of Contemporary Technologies on Teaching New Terms in Literature

Abstract

Upon examining the historical trajectory of literature, it becomes evident that literary works often incorporate terminology shaped by contemporary age and technological advancements. An essential consideration lies in understanding the influence of technology on language skill development, learner achievement, attitudes, and motivation in literature education, particularly regarding the introduction of new terms. This study investigates the impact of modern teaching technologies on the instruction of new terms in Kazakhstan literature, analyzing its effects on students' achievements, attitudes, and knowledge retention. Employing a quasi-experimental design with a control group pre-test post-test model, the study involved 63 students in a literature department at a Kazakh university. The experimental group was taught new terms through the MoodleCloud program, while the control group received traditional instruction. Experimental applications in the study lasted 6 weeks. The research findings underscore a significant enhancement in students' achievements, attitudes, and retention when utilizing modern teaching technologies for literature instruction.
