Unit 5
ICT and English language teaching and learning
I learned about CALL (Communicative and language learning), teacher gave a text and assign me to read and summarized that there are 3 points. First, integrative CALL focus on using multimedia computers and internet. After that developing teaching communicative more, that is Behavioristic CALL is repeat drill. Computer as a tutor, computer as a tool and computer as a speaker the answers but it's not communicative enough. Then they use communicative CALL focus forms more than the forms themselves, teacher tech grammar implicitly rather than explicitly etc. Moreover the Internet has two types such as The World Wide Web is if students want to know the things that they want to know they can search or publish their information on The world Wide Web. Next, Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) there two things such as " asynchronous " (not simultaneous) such as email etc. And " synchronous " (synchronous, real time) one - to - one communication and one - to many communication such as messenger etc. Therefore teacher told me about benefits of using Web 2.0, it's more colorful, sound and video to students inspiration.
In addition, Teacher told me to found the applications that help to learn English language. I found that there are many applications that teachers help to learn, start with Twitter.
Twitter is an online news and social networking service where users post and interact with messages, "tweets", restricted to 140 characters. Registered users can post tweets, but those who are unregistered can only read them. Users access Twitter through its website interface, SMS or a mobile device app. Twitter Inc. is based in San Francisco, California, United States, and has more than 25 offices around the world. Teacher Pamela Deloatch assign tasks by using twitter and think that twitter useful for students because they can contract with foreign friends and they practice reading and writing English because twitter use only English language etc. Next, "Youtube"
YouTube is an American video-sharing website headquartered in San Bruno, California. The service was created by three former PayPal employees – Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim – in February 2005. Google bought the site in November 2006 for US$1.65 billion; YouTube now operates as one of Google's subsidiaries. Teacher Kristen Hicks tough his syudent by using Video on youtube and found that students more fun and assign the tasks by uploading students' video on youtube and teacher, friends or other can comments under their video. Therefore, teacher always asign students to watch others video especially native speakers' vedeo to practice listening skill. Youtube very motivate students because it has both pictures and sounds. Next,"Email"
Electronic mail (email) is create by Ashwin,Luqman,Ganesh,Hafiz and Sanjay. Email is a method of exchanging messages between people using electronics. Email first entered substantial use in the 1804s and by the mid-1970s had taken the form now recognized as email. Email operates across computer networks, which today is primarily the Internet. Some early email systems required the author and the recipient to both be online at the same time, in common with instant messaging. Today's email systems are based on a store-and-forward model. Email servers accept, forward, deliver, and store messages. Neither the users nor their computers are required to be online simultaneously; they need to connect only briefly, typically to a mail server or a webmail interface, for as long as it takes to send or receive messages. Teacher James M. Hassett assign the tasks and gave students to sent by Email and teacher can speak with student outright if they online and sent information if anther online he/she will see. Next, "Blogger"
Blogger is a blog-publishing service that allows multi-user blogs with time-stamped entries. It was developed by Pyra Labs, which was bought by Google in 2003. Generally, the blogs are hosted by Google at a subdomain of blogspot.com. Blogs can also be hosted in the registered custom domain of the blogger (like www.example.com). A user can have up to 100 blogs per account. Teacher Macie Hall assign students to write their idea in their blogger and teacher found that blogger help to develop students' writing, students can discuss outside classroom and motivate students because they can decorate their blog. And the last, "Facebook"
Facebook is an American for-profit corporation and an online social media and social networking service based in Menlo Park, California. The Facebook website was launched on February 4, 2004, by Mark Zuckerberg, along with fellow Harvard College students and roommates, Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes. Miss Yuriya told about advantage of facebook in learning English language that students can speak in facebook don't shy, students have long time before post each comments, students can check grammar before post, the sentences in facebook not good but students can remember the words, students can join the groups that they interest if they interest they will attend to practice English, Students have many native speaker and chance to practice English, Facebook make students to interact others, Facebook motivate students to learn language, Students can join Enflish groups to practice correct English and students know about idium becouse people always post.
I think the article about Computer and language learning, it's very difficult for me til I learn this summer. I don't know why? but I can't to find any main idea and not only me but my friend also, she can't to understand like me.
I edited by telling teacher that I can't to understand and beg her to explain and help me to understand and she help me to get more and can write this blog.
I think when I find the applications that help to learn it,s easy for me because I can't find the article that I understand and I like. Then I can describe that to teacher.
Although, something it's hard but I felt fun, excited and understand more than studied in large classroom.
