Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) is often perceived, somewhat narrowly, as an approach to language teaching and learning in which the computer is used as an aid to the presentation, reinforcement and assessment of material to be learned, usually including a substantial interactive element. CALL may be defined as the search for and study of applications of the computer in language teaching and learning. Especially for teachers CALL is essentially a tool that helps them to facilitate the language learning process. It can be used to reinforce what has been already learned in the classroom or to help learners who require additional support.

Types of CALL Programs

·         CALL-specific software: applications designed to develop and facilitate language learning, such as CD-ROMs, web-based interactive language learning exercises/quizzes.

·         Generic software: applications designed for general purposes, such as word-processors (Word), presentation software (PowerPoint) and spreadsheet (Excel) that can be used to support language learning.

·         Web-based learning programs: online dictionaries, online encyclopedias, online concordances, news/magazine sites, e-texts, web-quests, web publishing, blog, wiki, etc.

·         Computer-mediated communication (CMC) programs: synchronous - online chat; asynchronous - email, discussion forum, message board.

Types of CALL Activities

·         multiple-choice & true/false quizzes

·         gap-filling exercise/cloze

·         matching

·         re-ordering/sequencing

·         crossword puzzles

·         games

·         simulations

·         writing & word-processing

·         concordance

·         web quests/searching

·         web publishing

·         online communication (synchronous and asynchronous)

Roles of the Computer in language learning and teaching:

- Computer as tutor for language drills or skill practice

- Computer as a tool for writing, presenting, and researching

- Computer as a medium of global communication

How Computers can be used in the Language Class

1) Teaching with one computer in the class

                - delivery of content (PowerPoint, word-processor, Webpages, etc.)

                - classroom activities/discussions mediated by the computer

                - Interactive whiteboard

2) Teaching in the computer network room (network-based language teaching)

                - task-based group work /activities

                - computer-mediated communication (CMC): asynchronous/synchronous

                - tandem learning

3) Self-access learning (independent learning)

                - drills and exercises

                - word processing

                - resource searching

4) Distance learning (i.e. individual learners working by themselves, at a place and time of their choice and, to some extent, at a pace and in an order also chosen by themselves.)

                - delivering online course content

                - CMC activities: email, discussion forum, chat rooms

                - tandem learning

                - community building

Assignment 2

ICT in Education

Some of the students do not seem to be interested in following the lesson. They might feel bored and talk to their friends in the class. It happens because they may feel that the learning process is not interesting so that they can not enjoy the activities in the classroom. To solve the problem above, the teachers can use the ICT tools in their learning process.

ICT is a valuable tool to enhance teaching and learning. For teachers ICT is a professional resource, a mode of classroom delivery, and a source of valid and valuable text types. For students, ICT provides opportunities to communicate more effectively and to develop literacy skills including skills in critical literacy. It is a valuable tool for researching, composing and responding, and viewing and representing in English. The existence of ICT has influenced us using it at home, workplace, and school. In school, ICT can lead to improved student learning and better teaching methods.

ICT have some advantages and disadvantages:

The advantages of ICT tools for education: 

1.      Through ICT, images can easily be used in teaching and improving the retentive memory of students

2.      Through ICT, teachers can easily explain complex instructions and ensure students' comprehension

3.   Through ICT, teachers are able to create interactive classes and make the lessons more enjoyable, which could improve student attendance and concentration.

3.

The disadvantages of ICT tools for education:

1.      Setting up the devices can be very troublesome

2.      Too expensive to afford

3.      Hard for teachers to use with a lack of experience using ICT tools.

The conclusion is, ICT is very important tool in education especially in teaching and learning process. Students are not only learning from teacher, but they can also accessing internet to gather knowledge and information.

Assignment 1

Management Information System 

This is a system that provides information needed to manage organizations effectively. Management information systems involve three primary resources: Technology, Information, and People. It's important to recognize that while all three resources are key components when studying management information systems, the most important resource is people.

Hypertext

Hypertext is the presentation of information as a linked network of nodes which readers are free to navigate in a non-linear fashion. Hypertext is basically the same as regular text that can be creatively link to each other. When we select an object we can see all the others that are linked to it. we can at many points skip from one place to another, go forward or back, get much more detail on the current topic, change direction and navigate in any way that we desire.

Hypermedia

Hypermedia is the generalization of hypertext. Hypermedia documents contain links not only to other pieces of text, but also to other forms of media - sounds, images, and movies. This means that browsers might not display a text file, but might display images or sound or animations. Hypermedia simply combines hypertext and multimedia.

For example, you are reading a text on the Japanese language. You select a Japanese phrase, and then hear the phrase as spoken in the native tongue.

Multimedia

Multimedia means that computer information can be represented through audio, video, and animation in addition to traditional media for example: text, graphics drawings, and images. Multimedia can be used for teaching different topics in math, informatics, foreign language learning, biology, chemistry, etc.

Now a days almost all use the internet for communication, for studying, for business and some for applications. The Internet can now be accessed almost anywhere by numerous means, especially through mobile Internet devices.
