Task 3

1. Why do you think evaluation of CALL courseware, websites, materials etc important?

My answer would be..using courseware, websites materials are important not just because it makes it easier for the teacher to browse for the latest techniques to teach the language but also the teacher could easily find the suitable materials to teach. finding the correct material is assential for effective teaching and learning as it is not only easy to find the suitable materials, it would also save time for the teacher to find other activities to do in class and also it is practical, intersting and the students would love it. and at the same time the students would generate their own interest in class and thus create interest in the language itself.

2. How do you think Hot Potatoes JCloze may help your students learn English?

personally, i would think that the students would find it interesting. from my experiance, i taught in a school just outside the town of Port klang, where sthe students competentcy in English could be considered as satisfying. they can verse in English but not very well and their exposure in English is not wide enough. they have no interest in learning the language and think that learning the language would only help them pass the exams. all i want to do was make them interested in learning the language content and not learning just to pass the tests. using Jcloze could help me in attaining the students intetrest and at the same time cultivate the interest in learning the language, opening their eyes in the possibility in learning the language and thus create awareness that the language is not just merely learned in the classroom to pass the exams but it is important to be used in the outside world.
