UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS

Unlike countable nouns, uncountable nouns are substances, concepts etc that we cannot divide into separate elements. We cannot "count" them. For example, we cannot count "milk". We can count "bottles of milk" or "glasses of milk", but we cannot count "milk" itself. Here are some more uncountable nouns:

music, art, love, happiness, advice, information, news, furniture, luggage, rice, sugar, butter, water.

We usually treat uncountable nouns as singular. We use a singular verb. For example:

This news is very interesting.

Your luggage looks heavy.

We do not usually use the indefinite article a/an with uncountable nouns, we use them with countable nouns. We cannot say "an information" or "a music". But we can say a "something" of:

a piece of news

a bottle of water

We can use some and any with uncountable nouns:

I've got some money. Have you got any butter?

We can use a little and much with uncountable nouns:

I've got a little money.I haven't got much rice.

To quantify an uncountable noun we use a unit of measurement - a measure word. For example, we cannot usually say “two waters” because “water” is uncountable. So, if we want to specify a quantity of water we use a measure word such as “bottle” or “glass” in a structure like “two bottles of water” or “two glasses of water”. We call this structure a partitive structure. Later will explain it in more detail.

We can use the same uncountable noun in different partitive expressions with different meanings. For example, a loaf of bread and a slice of bread are partitive expressions with different meanings. A loaf of bread is what we call a whole unit of bread that we buy from a baker. A slice of bread is what we call a smaller unit of bread after it has been cut from a loaf. 

Week 1 Reflection 1

The use of technology in classroom today is becoming more and more present. It is helping to facilitate the class and making it more interesting. If the school has the equipements in order to use the technology, then it should.
A good teacher make use of technology and they know how to. They give the proper importance and make sure the students fully understand it. Teachers should have some knowledge of technology being used in their school. Even if the teacher may not have the necessary devices to demonstrate something, which needs the use of technology, today it is becoming easier by the use of mobile phones and their access to internet wifi. So a good teacher will always know and find a way to make use of the technology available.
The difficulty facing many teachers is the innovation of technology. The interview in the article, the EFL teacher Hakan Senturk said that he used many technologies such as Google Documents for writing. Some time before, the homework was written in a notebook and handed to the teacher to evaluate it. Today teachers use this new method of evaluating the assignments done by the students. This way it is liked by the students because they are using technology and preparing for the future. It is important that in a world of constantly changing so does the way of evaluation, as the teacher in the interview mentioned.
The technology I use in my classroom is a tablet connected by an audio box for the listening part in the book. At first it was difficult because the pupils were used only by the traditional way of teaching. First it was, read the book, answer the question in the book and sit down. When initially  incorporating the new technology they were somehow reluctant about it. Mainly this is because their teacher at school she/he didn’t have the technology needed. So the pupils were used to learn a lot of grammar and in a way miss out other aspect of language learning such as speaking, properly pronouncing the words. They don’t want to speak that much. By the use of technology, this has changed, in regards to listening activities, they have learnt different variation of English language. They have done this in school as well but not as often as they do it now.
As to the final question, will the technology replace teachers? I don’t think it can ever do that. Teachers teach the students, pupils how to make use of technology. Indeed they are faced with a generation that is born with technology, that have used it at an early age, it still can’t change the role of the teacher. The teacher will demonstrate how to properly use the technology to help the learning process. I agree with the teacher in the interview that it helps in the classroom, a supplement in our teaching.
