Learning Reflections 12 Seminar in English Language Teaching
Today, We learned about "Computer Assisted Language Learning: an Introduction" by Mark Warschauer.

There are three phases of CALL

1) Behavioristic CALL
    -Based on the then-dominant behaviorist theories of learning
    -Entailed repetitive language drills and referred to as " drill and practice"
    -Practiced is Based on the model of computer as tutor : repeated exposure to the same material is beneficial, A computer is ideal for carrying out repeated drills, A computer can present such material on and individualized basis.

2) Communicative CALL
   -Based on communicative approach to teaching
   -focus more on using forms
   -teaches grammar implicitly 
   -encourage students to generate original utterances
   -does not judge and evaluate everything the students nor reward them
   -avoids telling students they are wrong
   -uses the target language and create an environment
   - never try to do anything that a book can do
   - Third model of computer in communicative CALL : computer as a tool, computer as a tutosr, computer as a stimulus.

3) Step toward integrative CALL: multimedia  and Step toward integrative CALL: the internet

I find easy that if we are familiar with the lesson , we will understand the contents easily.

Learning Reflections 10 of Seminar in English Language Teaching

        Today, we watched the video about effect of new technologies on English by David Crystal.

Then, we discussed about it with friends and teacher taught us about " Computer Assisted Language Learning: an Introduction by Mark Warschauer". Next,We have the midterm examination.

I found that technology has more influences to teaching and learning English. Moreover, it has both advantages and limitation.

I found difficult that I have no confident when I speak English because I always afraid about Grammatical and pronunciation. I have to more practice about my speaking.
