Week 12

Three Phases of CALL

😻Behavioristic CALL

                  Behavioristic CALL is the first phase of CALL which was implemented in the 1960s. Programs at those times included repetitive language drills which were later refered to as "drill and practice". It was based on the model of computer as tutor.

😻Communicative CALL

                 Communicative CALL is the second phase which gained importance in the 1970s. It focuses on authentic communication and use of forms rather than the forms themselves. 3 different CALL models were used for communicative activities: computer as tutor (Taylor &Perez 1989:3), computer as tool (Brierley & Kemble 1991; Taylor 1980) and computer as stimulus (Taylor & Perez 1989:63). 

😻Integrative CALL

                 The third phase is called integrative CALL, which includes two important developments: multimedia and the Internet.

The Development of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL)

                 As for the development of CALL, Warschauer & Healey (1998) suggest that CALL can be generally categorized based on three teaching methodologies dominant in ELT: behavioristic CALL, communicative CALL, and integrative CALL.  

😀Behavioristic CALL is recognized as the first phase of CALL. Most of CALL programs in this phase entailed repetitive language drills-and-practice activities.  

😀Communicative CALL,The focus of CALL in this phase is placed on using the language or functions rather than analysis of language forms. But not in a drill format like in the first phase.

😀Integrative CALL,In this phase, the computer serves as tool, in which the computer does not provide learning material, but empowers users to actually use language. CALL in this period is regarded as a shift from the use of the computer for drill and tutorial purposed into a medium for extending education beyond the language classroom.  

Advantages and Disadvantages of CALL in Language Learning

😀The use of CALL to support in language learning provides students with the authenticity of the input.  

😀CALL, especially computer mediated communication or CMC, helps encourage foreign language learners to produce comprehensible output. 

😀CALL is able to provide learners with the kinds of information and support that they require to complete individual tasks and to respond to the diversity of learner needs even within a single classroom structure. 

😀Learner-centered classes can be promoted by CALL.

Educational CALL Programs and ELT in Thailand 

😀Tutorial programs are responsible for collecting, presenting and guiding information, teaching rules. Students can learn content through questions. When the students answer, they receive immediate feedback.

😀Drill and Practice is to review the content background knowledge.The questions will be repeated many times.

😀Demonstration is very helpful with selfdirected learning. students will be encouraged to learn by themselves.

😀Simulation or so-called problem solving is used, aiming to raise students’ critical thinking, discussion skills and writing abilities

😀Games are used to provide a rich learning and teaching environment.

😀Testing is a tool for assessment and a method to determine what students know and do not know.

✨Advantages

✶Corpora helped students to learn about certain language uses that were not available in any of the traditional tools. 

✶Corpora allowed students to examine these language features in context.

✶Corpora helped students get a broader view of language.

✶Corpora could help improve students’ language proficiency.

✨Disadvantages

✶Disadvantage is that some corpus software is not available for students

✷Students are confused because of the large amounts of search results that when searching any corpus.

✨Corpus-based Activities and Ideas for Material Design

Week 6

Modal Auxiliary in British English: 

A Corpus-Based Study of Modality Through British National Corpus

⭐BNCweb is the concordance software that accesses this copy of the BNC. With BNCweb, you can search the entire BNC, or limit yourself to just part of it.

⭐Objectives

         BNCweb will e specifically applied through chosen modal verbs in order to:

        1. shed some light on modal verbs of which meanings are difficult to make distinction on theoretical background.

        2. affirm that modalities can be interchangeable due to different contexts, such as gender, type of data, perceived level of difficulty and etc.

⭐Method Three modal verbs ("should", "have to" and "must") will be scrutinized by available functions ("distribution", "collocation" and "concordance") via BNCweb in order to offer empirical information, such as grammatical usage and discursive practice, of modalities in British context. Details of methodology in each function will be subsequently explained in results and discussion section. 

Week 5

Using corpus analysis software to analyse specialised texts

🌞Corpus as a collection f naturally-occurring texts in a computer-readable format which can be retrieved and analyzed using corpus analysis software.

                 In July 12, I learned about Weblogs for Use with ESL Classes.  I got a lot knowledge about  blog. I learned about blog that we can share own ideas easily. However, there are three types of blog according to tutor blog, learner blog and class blog.
                 Firstly,the tutor blog. There are five purposes for writing blog that are it gives daily reading practice to the learner, it promotes exploration of English websites, it encourages online verbal exchange by use of comment buttons, it provides class or syllabus information and it serves as a resource or links foe self-study.
                Secondly, the learner blog. There are manage by individual learners themselves or small collaborative groups of learners. This type of blog is appropriate for reading and writing classes. Furthermore, It also promoted idea when you exchange something.
                 Thirdly, the class blog. There are run by teacher and student. these are blogs that can make discuss between teacher and student from the topic that the teacher give to them. Furthermore, There  also can develop writing skill of the writer. Moreover, you can  discuss or exchange idea with the foreigners if you have friends  from  different countries.
