ESL-Kids....

Hi and assalamualaikum everyone...^_^
I would like to share with you guys a website link that might help you a lot in teaching not only as teacher but as parents too..i've uploaded a few exercises for kids where you can easily download it and do some practice at home. This is the link that I am interested to talk about http://www.eslkidstuff.com/OnlineGamesMain.htm#.UkUsuIbrxtQ





       This is the brief view about this website. This website's goal is to share materials with teachers out there and suitable as it provides the material for teachers. This websites not only teaching grammar but it also contains material that suits writing for every level of proficiency. In addition, this website provides games that teacher can use in a classroom. There are immediate feedback given when students do the exercise. Just like any other blog that I have scrolled through, this website have a printable worksheets, but it is also provides songs, games,and flashcards.



       Learners and visitors only have to click on desired activity and proceed with the activity they had chosen. As an example if i want to play language game, I can just click on game and select which game I
prefer the most and compete with others.  

       While I went through the website, it reminds me on my teaching material few years back. I have a CD on an Educational game that i got from a cereal box. I displayed the game on the white screen i the computer laboratory. The students enjoy doing it but the limitation is I only manage to ask a few students to come to the front and try the game.

      The website present learners with something different from their ordinary boring classic method. Instead of only having a competition between the schoolmates or classmates, students can change their perception as the player that try to defeat you is someone outside of Malaysia. The games provided is an online game so that students can compete with others.


       
       The activities provided in this website suits the visual, auditory and kinesthetic students as this website contains a lot of colouful and interactive materials. learners under this category prefer to deal with something they can see, touch and listen too. this website not only have visuals, it also provides song.


        Yes, this website fulfill the criterion for evaluating a CALL program where the activity is the potential for language learning. This website provides the interactive materials such as The Missing Letters where students may evaluate their performance or knowledge using the exercises given based on the score that they have collected. Furthermore, students may increase their vocabulary by listen to simple songs provided.


          Yes, I would like to use the application in my future work because I did not adore a plain and boring classroom. By bringing such materials in my classroom, students will get more excited towards the lesson and slowly become responsible towards their learning process.

CALL..


CALL.......



Hi and assalamualaikum...
My name is Nur Sahidah Bte Abdul Hamid.

 I am from ED2208A.

I am a novice in blogging but for basic computer skill, I am not yet an expert but I am learning to be one.

I only have the knowledge on basic computer software like Microsoft office, Photoshop and video editor.


Yes i have experienced the online learning but it was years ago and I am looking forward to experience it again.

During my practicum, i used power point with mobile pictures and animation and most of my materials was taken from the ESL web. It was a success as form one and form two students were attracted by the animation and they understand the lesson easily.My students had so much fun during the lesson.

 The use of computer and technology in language teaching is very useful because the chance of creating an interactive classroom is higher. Besides, using technology can save you a lot in providing materials for the lesson and time management.

I hope I will discover more about computer technology in teaching and I hope that I am able to apply it for the future to make my lesson interesting and fun.
