Week 8: WWW and ESL teaching and Learning....What goes beyond them???

Hmm, the title of the presentation for today sounds boring to me at first....But then, after the explanations given by Nasa and Haizam, I was realized that I have not enough stored information in my 'precious brain'...HEHE

The title was not catchy enough to get my attention, but then it took me to the next level of thinking about the approaches and implementation used in typical classes in any schools around Malaysia, how WWW and CALL affect students' motivation, increase students' attention in class, and many other things. Then, I was suprised about myself that I could asked Nasa about the roles of a teacher in the class when implementing WWW and CALL...But, I had no chance to ask Haizam about which type of classroom instruction that give full autonomy and increase critical thinking skills of students in the class, it is either web-based instruction or traditional classroom instruction? Maybe I can ask them later in our 'kedai kopi' discussion, rite?

Therefore, now, I am exploring a new thing to test my own extra knowledge that I got from the presentation. What should I use if I want to teach English language?....Ermm, for now, I just can think about Bilingual Online Dictionary provided by Dewan Bahasa Pustaka.....HEHE..Maybe by using this online application, it helps the students to learn the language easily without using their thick dictionary....
