Children nowadays is no longer the same as the children back then in 90's. They are exposed to a lot of things especially with the existence of INTERNET. They can get any information they want from there. So that's the sole reason i think the application such as CALL was built. it can ensure that the children stays interested in learning and did not get bored. They prefer something animated and more vibrant and colorful compared to the plain and inanimate like text book even though i still think that the best way to learn is by reading (my personal preference though!).
So CALL actually the best way to keep them interested. But what exactly call is??
Other than call there is a few things that can be considered as a very helpful medium in language learning and it is call the generic software. We usually didn't think that they will be a great help but sure they are!!
GENERIC SOFTWARE
- MICROSOFT WORD
- MICROSOFT POWER POINT
- MICROSOFT EXCEL
Next, the usage of the Internet as such WIKIPEDIA, ONLINE DICTIONARY and all of things related also can be a very helpful and from my personal point of view it really do help because its fast and easy. Nobody refuse fast and easy thing don't we?
Nowadays we also do have the CMC which is the computer mediated communication. Back then when the Internet was newly introduced to us there is the forum and all but it is rarely used as its develop, a lot of people start using it as in it is simpler and a lot more easier. As I said earlier nobody can refuse easy thing right?
If you are wondering what CMC is....It is the medium of communication that we used such as the
- Messenger, Whatsapp (synchronous - instant reply)
- Email (asynchronous - delayed reply)
Lastly, what I can actually say that through the years, computer and its content had help us a lot in term of doing our work, assignment, learning, teaching and a lot more but we do have to remember that not all the things in this world can be done by computers. No matter how great they are they still cannot comes out with a new idea, they are just what human want them to be.....
THANK YOU!!!!1
