THREE- Computer, Search Engine & CMC

According to the Communicative Approach, there are three roles of a computer; as a tutor, stimulus and tool. I undoubtedly agree with this. A tutor allows me to learn without giving me the pressure and so doesI a computer. I can learn so many things without being judge on the answer that I give. I am in control of the choices and interaction that I make in answering the questions. On the other hajd, computer's role in acting as a stimulus is quite fun as well. It stimulates students' discussion, writing and critical thinking. Language learning is integrated into interactive games that helps to keep the enthusiasm going. On topthe ofand that, comouter can also act as a tool. The generic softwares in a computer like Word Processor and Publisher does not provide materials but they can help students to learn language using these softwares. 

Besides, I have also learnt about search engines and online database. Search engine is a web tool that allows users to enter keywords and find information on websites contained in its database. It is divided into four parts namely the Database, Web-Crawler or Spider, User Interface(UI) and Information Retrieval System.

CMC or Computer Mediated Communication was also introduced in Madam Azida's class. CMC is a form of communication or interaction between two or more people via separate computers through network connection. My kecturer taught us how to use Google Doc for Collaborative Learning and it turned out fun! 

In a nutshell, I enjoyed this lesson so much!

TWELVE- Smartbuilder: Lesson Design

Hi there! The first three pages of our courseware was approved and we were granted permission to proceed to our lesson! We designed this courseware learning specifically on the topic Comparative and Superlative Adjectives under grammar focus. We targeted intermediate level of students aging from 18-20 years. Hence, the lesson that we provided will be specific and detailed. Oh, before I forget- Madam Azida taught us to insert the 'button' onto each of the slides and again, she demonstrated it step by step in front. It was quite tricky at first but there are a lot of pages to be edited on this courseware, so like they say, practice makes perfect. Besides, we also learnt to insert background music to help enhance students' mind and not keep it boring. Our lesson plan oj courseware seems to go as planned. Please pray that we'll manage to pull this off, ya? Thank you!
