(LECTURE) Weblogs in ELT

LECTURE: 23 March 2009

Fielder (2003) defines weblog as a 'reflective conversational tool for self-organized learning' which nest captures the constructivist spirit with which the tool can be used for fostering autonomous, self-directed learning approaches.

WHY BLOG????

1. Blogging creates a 'social semantic web', (Downes 2004), where content and identity are bundled together.
2. presents them with opportunities to converse with people outside the classroom in a meaningful way
3. create a sense of ownership
4. situated in an authentic, flexible, and upredictable social context,
5. create a sense of community that would be less likely to emerge in a conventional classroom setting - Nardi Schiano, Gumbrecht & Swartz (2004)
6. engage people in collaborative activity, knowledge sharing, reflection and debate -William & Jacobs (2004) p.232

ADVANTAGES

1. authentic communication context
2. motivating factor
3. learner autonomy
4. access to infomation
5. class management

DISADVANTAGES

1. lack of participation from readers outside the classroom
2. technical and financial problems
3. IT and internet literacy
4. escessive volume of infomation
5. pedagogical requirements
6. preparation time

Flash Software

for Task 4, if anyone interested in making flash courseware, i have the installation CD. you can ask from me if you are interested. another program which u can use to make the courseware are:

- HotPotatoes (this one okaaayyy la!)
- Autoplay Media Studio (this one senang but no variety)
- Adventure Maker (sesuai if u want to make 3D arcade game which i think is impossible to be made within few weeks unless you're so smart! hehe)

Oh! Sama lah pulak!

the first website stated by Bedely had been used by me... but it's okay.. Miss Jenny Pang said we can evaluate the same website kan? is it? betul ka? haha.. tp sy suda siap 4 days ago lagi... never mind!

The Advantages of Using Computer Assisted Language Learning

1.Introduction

In the last few years many teachers using Computer-assisted Language Learning (CALL) has increased. Although the potential of the Internet for educational use has not been fully explored yet and the average school still makes limited use of computers, it is obvious that we have entered a new information age which is established.

In the early 90’s education started being affected by the introduction of word processors in schools, colleges and universities. This mainly had to do with written assignments. The development of the Internet brought about a revolution in the teachers’ perspective, as the teaching tools offered through the Internet were gradually becoming more reliable. Nowadays, the Internet is popular in foreign language teaching, both educators and learners are embracing it.

2.Objectives

The aim of this paper is to inform both educators and learners how computers are helping them and analyze the advantages of the utilization of computer in language learning. When the advantages of using computer in language learning understood well by teachers, learners and all stakeholders of language learning, it will be very useful to help learners improve their language learning. Furthermore, there is a belief that....

Computer-Assisted Language Learning: A story that goes long back

Computer-Assisted Language Learning: A story that goes long back
By Kiraki Spanou

I. Introduction

The term "Computer-Assisted Language Learning" or "CALL" is used to describe any kind of language learning activity that makes use of computers. CALL has existed for about 40 years and has undergone a series of stages that are directly connected to both the levels of advancement of the technological means and the type of methodology prevalent at each stage.

In the early days, with the large mainframe computers, the task of creating language software programs was rather daunting, as developers needed to have a deeper knowledge of programming languages. In more recent times, though, computers have become more "user-friendly" and, therefore, easier for the non-specialists such as language teachers, to use, enabling them to create more complex applications with relative ease. Nevertheless, apart from the benefit of making the task of program-authoring easier, the extraordinary speed of computer development has led to a constant introduction of new technology, which has rendered the teachers' task of evaluating it properly quite difficult (Levy, 1997).

This article deals with both the technological developments in the area of CALL and with the stages that CALL methodology has gone through since computers were first introduced in language learning.

II. Technological developments in CALL

Computer-assisted language learning has enjoyed about four decades of history while the microcomputer had not even been invented during the first twenty years. CALL has gone through numerous stages being influenced primarily by the dramatic developments in computer science. What was initially available only to the few, has nowadays become widely accessible to most students. In this article, the history of CALL has been divided into two periods: the first covers the decades of the 1960s and the 1970s and the second covers the more recent developments of the 1980s and 1990s.

a) Beginnings of CALL (1960s & 1970s)

This is the period when large-framed computers were used and CALL appeared only in the form of experimental projects carried out by universities, which prepared the ground for future developments.

Penduduk Malaysia Ketagih Hiburan, IT

Malaysia muncul antara 10 negara utama menggunakan aplikasi multimedia bagi mencari pemilik teknologi hiburan dan tabiat penggunaan penduduk global.

Dalam kajian oleh Syarikat Nielsen ke atas 52 negara mendapati rakyat Malaysia merupakan pengguna Internet rakus dan berpengalaman, aktif dalam membuat turun dan melayari kandungan media dan hiburan secara percuma dalam internet.

Pengarah Urusan Kumpulan Pengguna Nielsen Malaysia, Paul Richmond, berkata penduduk Malaysia adalah ketagih hiburan dan teknologi kerana menikmati sejumlah besar hiburan dalaman, muzik, permainan video dan media digital.

“Penduduk tempatan ketagih pada Internet dengan melayari dan muat turun kandungan media digital secara kerap,” katanya dalam kenyataan di sini hari ini.

Dalam soal menikmati media digital, Malaysia menduduki tangga kelima dan kesembilan dalam muat turun kandungan dari Internet.

Menurut hasil kajian tersebut, 53 peratus penduduk Malaysia malayari atau menyaksikan filem secara penuh, klip video, acara TV dan video muzik manakala 41 peratus telah muat turun pelbagai kandungan sama dari internet sepanjang bulan lepas.

Kajian itu juga mendapati 89 peratus penduduk Malaysia memiliki sekurang-kurangnya sebuah peti televisyen manakala 87 peratus mempunyai sekurang-kurangnya sebuat komputer peribadi.

Oleh demikian, kajian itu menunjukkan bahawa jurang digital antara ekonomi yang muncul dan maju tidak begitu jauh manakala negara Barat merupakan pengguna banyak dalam perkakasan komputer dengan peralatan generasi depan menjadi popular di pasaran membangun di Asia, kata Richmond. - Bernama
