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!

THIRTEEN- After lesson, practice!

This week is probably the week we need to complete our lesson and also exercises for the topic we have chosen to be presented on this courseware. Lesson was pretty long and the explanations were detailed and compact to make sure students' of our target can understand. For practice, we've divided them into three parts according to the level of the game; easy, intermediate and difficult. Practice 1 will test on the categorization of the adjectives.

I'll share the link of the courseware in the next post. Thanks for dropping by!:)

FOUR- First Look on Podcast: A Review

Hi, everyone! I recently tried listening to podcast and I personally think that podcasting is almost-so-very similar to listening to a radio station on air. There's not much difference except that podcasting talks about certain topics and somewhat educational- it gives out information and knowledge. Radio, on the other hand usually used forto entertainment; by that I mean playing songs and some prank calls or event information. My first time using podcast via Spotify, I listened to this podcast by Mufti Menk entitled Hope with Effort . It was a good input for those who needed some motivation when their paths seem unclear and confusing. The delivery and content in podcasting play important roles in ensuring the listeners stay put and listen to it till the very end. The speaker must make the topic interesting and need to have a specific target audience. They need to say their points and explanations clearly so people will not confuse or misheard.
