Comments on CALL

The best thing about the CALL taken, students have opportunities to communicate with studetns from Japan through the system of online chatting that students will understand more about Japanese culture. Also, students will have an idea how to communicate with others with different cultural background. I think it will be much better that students can have chances to have online chating with people from different countries such as Europe or South American...etc.

Learning the Reading Skills from CALL

In the past when I was studying in the high school, I was taught to learn the reading Skills from the textbook or any writeen material. However, I think it will be very boring for students. Thereofre, CALL is very useful for student to learn the reading skill. That's because it's different feeling between learing from the textbook and learning from the CALL. Therefore, it will be more exciting and enjoyable.

Video Conference

It's very fun experience to interact with students studying in York St. John's in Britian which I learned a lot about different aspects of culture and have an picture about studying in Britan. However, some of them speak English with thick accent which is hard for me to understand. But, I can tell they all speak good English since they have studied there for a long time.

As for the topic for the next video conference, I think it would be better to talk about national holiday. That's because the holidays set by countries have unique meanings and historys or legends which is more fun to hear it.

Hostboard

I would like to choose Hostboard for Mid-term Exam, becuse I think the website is good to use it and suitable for all the language learners no matter where they are placed due to a lot of information useful for learning. Therefore, I would suggest the website to the perosn who really wants to improve their language ability.

Video Studio

I think Mr. Wong is a excellent teacher that students can learn a lot from him. He introduced the how to fuction the Video Studio step by step without rushing through. As a consequence, today I have a clear overview of how the software, work to edit the video. The good thing about his teaching is that he provided enough time for students to practise what he had lecture, which is good for students to review the material. If the time is allowed, I hope we can have more time to listen to his lecture.

Criteria to evaluate the software

It's very important to have the criteria to evaluate the software. As a consequence, the teachers have an idea how to facilitate the students' learning if they want to use software to teach in class. Also, they are aware that how to adjust the activity using the software.

Class about Audio

In my opinion, he is a very good teacher. He explained how to use the software named Audacity clearly which facilitate me to understand more about how Audacity works than before. Also the software is easy to download which I don't need to be concerned with the issue of how to download the voice wanted. I really wish he could teach us more if the time is allowed.
