Here I am, once again, reflecting on this week's topic for ESP6013.
So, let's start!
Topic 3 is related to the previous topic, about CALL.
Last post, I just shared about what is CALL, so this time it is about how this CALL revolve into something more...useful to be used in learning language. That is quite confusing isn't it?
Well, before CALL is more on the types and where people can get CALL in daily lives, but in this topic, CALL progressed into something more practical. There are 3 types of progression based on CALL, which are Behaviouristic CALL, Communicative CALL, and Integrated CALL.
Behaviouristic CALL is widely used to train something (usually it's animal huhu), also called as 'drilling' or 'repetition', where you'll do the same thing over, over, over and over again until you remember it.
Just like training a dog! Wuff Wuff!
Next, we have Communicatice CALL, where it trains more on the language rather than something in grammar. So if the software is more on pronounciation, that is all you get to do. You listen and practice on how to pronounce vowels and all phonetics stuff.
Lastly, we have Integrated CALL. This is the most recent, and I'm sure even all the readers have used this kind of CALL before. You use something to learn language, and it included all media we have; like audio, video, animation, graphics, text, EVERYTHING! If you still remember about the CMC I shared about last time, that's also a part of Integrated CALL. You can have video, pictures, gif, text moving here and there,that way is more fun, right? Hehee ;)
I also learnt in my class that for you to learn any language in this technologucal era, nothing is impossible!! You have a lot of choices you can choose from; from traditional way to the modern way, just choose it! And never give up!
So, that's all for now!
See again later!
