Reflection 1：2/27

That day was my first class of CALL. It refers to Computer-Assisted Language Learning. The teacher taught us lots of general ideas about this course. She mentioned about that now we’re in the trend of Computer –Support Collaborative Learning and Computer-Mediated communication. The Internet has become the important part in our daily life. It connects everyone in every places. We always write e-mails to our friends or use msn and skype to chat with others. It’s more convenient to us. Even as teacher, blog is also the good way of assessment to evaluate students’ performances. Students can record something down and give some feedback about what they have learned. Besides it is the spaces to let students share some of their good learning experiences. Teachers can design their own teaching materials such as audiovisual that can give students stimulus. By doing so, it can let students feel interesting and the learning situation will be better than traditional way of classroom teaching. Some people may worry about that teacher will replaced by computer because learners also can learn any kinds of knowledge they want through the Internet. In my opinion, I think teacher will never be displaced. Even though some of us are intelligent, not everyone are genius. Most of us still need teacher’s help to guide and teach us that how to learn. Most teachers are experts that they experienced in teaching after all.
