I CALL it digitalization..

Posted by Dwi Martan | Jumat, 04 November 2011 | Category: , |

       Nowadays, teaching and learning process has been equipped with a lot of new modern things. Digitalization happened in almost all of aspects in educational field. Digitalization means that technology is involved to help the teachers for conducting their teaching process.
            CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning) has become an ordinary thing in almost every class inside the schools. But there is one question surround up in my mind. Is it effective to enhancing student’s capability inside the learning process especially in speaking and listening aspect?
            Finally in the last meeting of Technology Language Learning subject, this question is revealed. The answer is ya, technology can help us to enhance learner’s capability of listening and speaking. Actually the most helpful thing is internet, because there are a lot of websites that can be a useful tool for learning speaking and listening. For example, in teaching speaking skill we can go to http://www.englishspeakingonline.com/. It’s  a website that provide examples of conversations. Here, teachers can ask their students to Listen to the correct pronunciation given by native English speakers,  then Repeat and record the phrase, and Compare your pronunciation to native English speakers. This website not only help student to practice their speaking skill but also help them to produce the correct pronounciation by comparing their record result to the native English speakers.
            From this meeting, i got some new inspirations to teach my students someday, and i know that digitalization is a new way to create a better learning process.

  1. "Actually the most helpful thing is internet"
    I do not agree with you, because sometimes it can be error. I just think that it is no good believing an internet connection. what do you think ?

  2. ok, let me state it again.

    actually the most "helpful thing" is internet

    here i emphasize "helpful thing" it means that internet is only a helpful tool for the teacher. so, it doesn't mean that teacher lean on the computer, but they only use it as a teaching aid inside the learning process. and don't ever give 100% of your trust to technology, because sometimes it can get an error.

  3. nah, I got your point. I second the motion.
    :D

  4. Hi, this blog looks very interesting. The spider looks dangerous, though. But more importantly is the reflective writing you share here, it looks good.
    The more you dig into CALL the more you'll get and probably be amazed by what new technology has to offer to language teaching and learning.
