CALL.

   I left this blog for good. three years since I last posted anything. How ironic my latest post is actually a homework. well, as a starter, what is CALL? "the search for and study of applications of the computer in language teaching and learning"  Levy (1997). this course gave me the motive to actually use technology for not only teaching but to teach with fun! I haven't been a fan of technologies used in Education. As a student, it's been always a struggle focusing on the lesson when my teachers used PowerPoint. This course made my life much easier. I realized it's never been the technology that gave me headaches, but my teachers lack knowledge of using technology probably. I learned throughout CALL that technology has a wide range of appropriate applications and multi-medias that can save a teacher's time to focus on things that a computer cannot explain. furthermore, this course gave me an idea on how to prepare an appropriate lesson for your students by the evaluation of technology. However,  I don't  seem to let go of the old school fashioned lessons. where the teachers used posters, pictures, and games on the board.etc. Maybe CALL is easier but for me, I think to rely on computers for everything in the lesson is too much. A bit of balance between old school teaching and CALL is more relaxing for the eyes, and it bonds the teachers with their students more. Eventually, I enjoyed this course very much, it was easy to absorb although I think my Dr has some hard feelings for me because I'm always late, but I managed to survive. just kidding, she's a bit harsh on me but she's a great Dr.
