Week 13 : Quizzing Adobe Captivate

Learn the fundamental steps required to create and publish a quiz using Adobe Captivate 8. This brief overview covers all of the fundamental concepts and explains how grading and review works as well. More experienced users may also find helpful the explanations of new features that simplify and streamline the quiz creation workflow.

Week 12 Three Phases of CALL

There are 3 phases of CALL
     1. Behavioristic CALL is the first phase of CALL. It was based on the model of computer as tutor. Most of CALL programs in this phase entailed repetitive language drill and practice activities. In other words, computer was seen as a medium to deliver instructional materials to learners. PLATO system, which included vocabulary drills, short grammar explanations and drills, and translation exercises, is a good example for this phase.

     2. 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, computer as tool and computer as stimulus.

     3. The third phase is called Integrative CALL. It was developed in an effort to address some criticisms of the communicative approach by both integrating the teaching of four language skills.

Week 11 Advantages and Disadvantages of CALL in Language Learning

          First, the use of CALL to support in language learning provides students with the authenticity of the input. At this point, students can have an opportunity to interact one or more of the four core skills, namely listening, speaking, reading, and writing because they have to use or produce text meant for an audience the target language, not the classroom (Garrett, 1982) Teachers can use CALL to provide easy authentic access to a variety of language learning resources and multimedia components of dynamic and such as input in all areas of language that teachers could not offer without additional teaching aids.

          Second, in alignment with the output hypothesis as articulated by swain (1995), CALL, especially computer mediated communication or CMC, helps encourage foreign language learners to produce comprehensible output. That is, interaction through CMC learners to receive input, to use feedback to monitor their language, a to produce output that becomes input for other learners (Egbert).        

Third, since language learners have different purposes, and classroom teachers might not be able to have way of responding to their purposes. 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.

Advantages and Disadvantages of CALL

Advantages

• Interest and motivation

• Individualization

• Appropriate learning style

• Effective use of learning time

• Immediate feedback

• Error analysis

Disadvantages

• Less-handy equipment

• Economical factors

• Lack of trained teachers

• Insufficient speaking programs

• Inability to handle unexpected situations

WEEK 10 The elements of CAI

1. Texts

2. Sounds

3. Pictures

WEEK 9 Steps to design CAI

CAI design process. There are 7 steps.  

👉 1. Preparation

👉 2. Design Instruction

👉 3. Flowchart Lesson

👉 4. Create Storyboard 

👉 5. Program Lesson

👉 6. Produce Supporting Materials 

👉 7. Evaluate and Revise

Screen design of lesson. 

👉 Resolution of the monitor

👉 Using color

👉 The layout of the screen

WEEK 8 Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI)

"Computer-assisted (or aided) instruction" (CAI) refers to instruction or remediation presented on a computer. These tools improve instructional qualities. CAI's were also known as CBTs (Computer based training) when they were used to "train" individuals for vocations.

1. Advantage of CAI

- Motivate student to participate.

- Students can learn by themselves.

- Use multimedia for interested.

-reduce the time and ode for learning.

- Students can learn anywhere and anytime.

2. Disadvantage of CAI

- Limit number of program.

- We have to use time to construct the lesson.

- Creative thinking limit.

WEEK 7 Corpus for classroom: Ideas for Material Design

In this paper, two researchers aim at highlighting several ways through which corpora can be integrated in language classrooms to teach students of various levels.

Corpus-based Activities and Ideas for Material Design.
