英語教育講義⑭

        Today's class was about one of the methods of teaching which was CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning). In the early days, the computer plays the role of tutor so that students can study alone. Afterward, computers are regarded as a tool since several softwares are used quite often such as PowerPoint, and Word. There are some more benefits for students to use the computer to study. For instance, they could notice the mistakes by themselves while finding the error from other student's essays. There is another example is that the strategy of teachers how to improve the overall performance. It is different for teachers who need to control the whole class. In terms of that, they let the students who are good at speaking English to assist the teacher. It is a good way to make a group have a presentation. As a result, students could improve their level of English ability in a short-term period. From my point of view, I think these are effective ways to help learners to obtain English skills.
