The quality of the education at the present time decreases. At some educational establishments brides are favored and young people do not want to study. The life is full of affordable pleasures and the children are too spoiled to refuse them. But the educational establishments strive to improve the situation, since there is a shortage of highly qualified personnel.
Devry University. Devry began in 1931 as a small school in Chicago to prepare students for technical work in electronics, motion pictures, as well as radio and television. Dr. Herman DeVry is the founder of the University.
Devry provides rigorous, career-oriented undergraduate and graduate degree programs in business, management, and technology. Students access the University programs through a system of more than 80 locations as well as through DeVry University Online. Devry offers degree programs in accounting technology, biomedical engineering technology, business administration, computer engineering technology, computer information systems, electronics and computer technology, electronics engineering technology, game and simulation programming, health information technology, network systems administration, technical management, and network and communications management.
People tend to complain that Devry has chosen the wrong direction in specialty trainings. They say that it is all about the Intellectual technologies and this aspect is not urgent. There are also complaints that the University does not enjoy popularity among employers. It is not considered to be a real school. Applicants are laughed at when interviewed. They have spent several years and thousands of dollars to get a degree and now they are laughed at. Is this fair? Some may say “At least you have the degree”! But what if this degree is worth nothing? On the employment these graduates are equal to those 70% of the Americans who did not go to college at all. There situation is even worse since they wasted money which are hard to earn.
Online education has its own drawbacks. You never know whether the institution receives your papers or it does not. It is the case with the Dervy University. Numerous students argue that their papers disappear and they are forced to rewrite them for several times.

There are some organizations that really can help and make our lives easier. There are many ways. These can be different kinds of grants. These grants are sums of money given by an organization, especially by the government, for a particular purpose such as education and so much more.

The Internet has often been described as the biggest communications revolution since not too long ago. The Internet is considered to be a prosperous community with many million of people exchanging information, ideas and opinions. For foreign language teachers it is the perfect medium. A foreign language teacher always gets an opportunity to access for quality, authentic teaching material. With the Internet all the teaching material can be quickly and readily available from the comfort of our desks.
The Internet in the process of foreign language teaching. An access to the Internet opens up a world of possibilities for both students and foreign language teachers. The Internet gives students an access to the world knowledge they often don`t have. The Internet puts them in touch with other students of the same language around the world. The students can send their homework to their teachers by E-mail. By using the Internet the students can take part in collaborative projects on a global scale. The Internet offers a variety of topics to satisfy a diverse audience. It`s very much motivating. Through the Internet learners are exposed to authentic language that is constantly updated. Besides, the Internet gives the students the opportunity to manage their own learning, to use it outside the class.
What are the reasons to use the Internet in language teaching? There are several possible reasons for using the Internet in language teaching. The main reason is that the linguistic nature of online communication is necessary for promoting language learning. Another well-known factor is that the Internet creates optimal conditions for learning to write, because it provides an authentic audience for written communication. Foreign language teachers know that the Internet can also increase students` motivation that is important for successful learning. There are many ways of integrating the Internet activities into the class work. The teacher and his students can investigate something in collaboration with foreign partners, can create research questions, work at publications. But every teacher has to find his own way, based on the goals of the curriculum, the needs of the students and the materials and technology available.

Communication or speaking may be defined as a major learning task. Students learn better if they have positive attitude to what they are doing. Interest is a crucial factor. Teachers get excited about the lesson when they feel that their students have communicated on a level that goes beyond going through the motions, when they have engaged with the topic on a personal level. Engagement can be triggered by anything from understanding and laughing at a cartoon to what life was when you were 8 years old.
The aim of speaking tasks. Speaking tasks, presented at the lesson, are not intended principally as a grammar practice. They are connected with the certain topic, certain vocabulary and grammar. Everything is aimed at turning input into output. Such tasks are easy to set up and enjoyable to use. Most of them encourage students to talk about things that matter to them. The students can play roles, exchange invented information.
What is linguistic risk taking? Personalized, authentic tasks challenge and engage students and this encourages linguistic risk taking. When students take risks they are experimenting, testing theories about how the language works. This is an essential part of language learning. A series of challenging speaking tasks focuses on learner`s own experiences and opinions. The choice within tasks encourages students to take charge of interactions. Teachers tend to refine and improve their set pieces: jokes and stories. Students do the same. When they have the opportunity to take risk, they become more adventurous and more precise in the language they use. The first time the students do a speaking activity, they are more likely to concentrate on the content; repetition of the task means that they have more time to process the language, increase the range of vocabulary and use more syntactically complex language. While taking linguistic risk students as well as teachers achieve the main purpose of speaking tasks – they develop fluency.

It`s a common knowledge that reading is not only the careful recognition and understanding of each word on the page. A good reader is able to reconstruct the exact writer`s message to analyze and to enjoy it. Reading is an essential way of learning any foreign language. Fluent and quick reading can also become a fun, because a person can absorb a lot of material in a short amount of time. Various approaches, methods, trends connected with developing reading skills have been studied by many scientists. All these scientific works have had the main aim – to change habits of slow reading. Foreign language teachers have the opportunity to help students develop their reading skills and teach them different methods of improving their reading abilities.
How to teach students to read as quickly as possible? A lot of different abilities influence speed of reading and understanding of the text. The ability to understand the text and guess the meaning of new words on the basis of their context, surroundings, their grammatical function and morphological structure is considered to be the most important for quick and fluent reading. No doubt that successful reading depends on the ability to predict what comes next. Is it possible to develop this ability? The answer is definitely “yes”. There are some principal strategies that may help. First of all you should keep in mind that reading takes effort, quick and fluent reading takes even more. That`s why you shouldn`t read in the same way that you watch TV. I mean in an ineffective, passive way. Successful reading should be active and attentive. It`s very good to read in thought groups and phrases, but not in single words, because it`s easier to pull the meaning from groups of words rather than from individual words. If you want to read quickly you should learn to read between the lines and work on the meaning of the text at different levels for understanding information and critically evaluating the idea. It`s also important to stop talking for yourself while reading, because talking will slow you down.
The effective use of dictionaries. A lack of vocabulary prevents students from being fast readers in foreign languages. They interrupt their reading to look up new words in a dictionary. Certainly, it`s necessary to find out the meaning of an unknown word. But the problem is that the students do it too often and it makes reading less effective and very slow. As a result of constant referring to a dictionary, like many useful tools, a dictionary can become dangerous. It would be incorrect to ban the use of dictionaries, that`s why a good foreign language teacher is to make his students realize that they can cope without dictionaries while reading and that it`s wasteful to look up every new word. So, students must learn to use a dictionary effectively and with discretion. A good foreign language teacher realizes that his task is to make his students advanced and confident readers.

Almost every home, office or school has a computer of some kind these days. Many people feel that these machines are now an essential part of our lives and they are quite right. I believe that education will continue to be one of the important areas for computer applications.
How can computers be used in the area of language instruction? Throughout the 1970-s and the 1980-s far-reaching claims were made for the potential for computers to improve education. The efforts of computer companies were concentrated mostly on working out special Computer-aided Instruction. Such a long phrase cannot describe all current applications of computers to the process of education. In practice computer-aided instruction stands for one possible use of the computer – namely, as a substitute teacher. Students sitting at computer terminals can receive instructions in a wide variety of subjects. As for language instruction, it can consist of vocabulary, grammar and spelling drills. The computer may provide words in English, for which the student is supposed to give synonyms in his native language. Each student can proceed at his own speed. If a student has difficulty with a given topic, he can branch out to another program and be provided with remedial instructional material. As a result the process of learning proves to be more individualized.
A machine or a man-teacher? The computer has certain attributes which in special situations makes it superior to the teacher. The computer has infinite patience and can simultaneously drill a large number of students. The completely impersonal relation between the student and computer appears to be an advantage. But no matter how helpful a computer may be it is only a machine, a useful addition to our fast-moving world of high technology. It must be remembered that computers are here to serve us, not to replace us.
