Week 3's Reflection: Delicious CALL for All Teachers

This week has been an eyes, ears, and brain-opening week for me. Reading more about Computer Assisted Language Learning has ensured me that I am on the right track in my teaching. Incorporating the listening exercises with speaking, writing, and reading became easier with some examples I got from the website such as http://www.esl-lab.com/. Some people says do not invent the wheel, just observe, imitate, and modify. Using the available resources to enhance the oral and aural skills like listening and speaking using the web could be very helpful in the teaching process.

Another thing that I learn is that the human memory can be very limited but the technology may help to make it unlimited. I have visited many websites to support my learning and teaching processes but sometimes they are all  simply forgotten or not used because of limited memory. Using www.delicious.com as social bookmarking websites is a brilliant solution about keeping valuable sources address and sharing it to anybody.

Finally, I can say that this week has been a very delicious call for all teachers joining the course.

    Dear Herman,
    I was delighted to read your new blog post as it looks so delicious!!! I fully agree with you that the delicious "Delicious" is an indispensable tool in our work. At the same time you are quite right when you say that we have to support our classroom work with the resources from the Web. I think it's our inevitable future and better prepare for it now!

    Dear Herman,
    First of all i should say that your blog seems so alluring; I couldn't stop myself making some feedback about it. The texture and presentation of your blog reciprocate in such a way, if I use the idea of New Criticism, it does have organic unity.
    I agree with you that Computer Assisted Language Learning today has been pressing need of time; and the article by Maria Grazia Busa simply shows us more such possibilities. Delicious page seems so delicious that I wondered why I didn't have ideas on such a beautiful thing before. I had encountered several such problems before when I didn't have any idea about saving useful links. Thanks to delicious page and all the delicious ideas.

      Dear Prakash,

      Thank you very much for reading my blog and giving positive feedbacks. I am happy that someone appreciate the design and articles of this blog. You have a very good sense of art Prakash. You are also a very good critic. Busa's article is quite inspiring for us to implement CALL in our learning and teaching process. Anyway, besides using the delicious actually you can also do it by saving your bookmark in google chrome after logging in with your google account. However, delicious makes it much better by giving us the chance to share useful websites we visit.
      Nice sharing Prakash.

      Best regards

      Herman
