In Class Task -2-

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

The evaluation of CALL courseware, websites etc is important in order for teachers to investigate the certain important aspects such as the practicality or the effectiveness of the courseware to the students' level. If a courseware that is being used by the teacher in class is too demanding for the students' level, it might harm the students in aspect of which students cant follow the lessons well. The practicality of the courseware is the courseware can be used by any level of the students, not just for focus to the one particular level, for example, the courseware is meant for the advanced level students. Other than that, the teacher also can identify whether the courseware is valuable for their money, meaning here the courseware must be reasonable between the price and the contents for learning language.

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

Fist of all, thanks to sir for teaching me on how to use this JCloze. I love it so much, but still in the process of learning..ehe..for me, this software helps to give the effective feedback to students especially whenever the questions can provide the hints to the students. if the students do not have ideas to answer the questions, by looking at the hints, they will definitely can produce their own anwers. other than that, it will also create fun in learning language. The Hot Potatoes JCloze can attract students attention with the colours and pictures too. Students also can improve their computer skills by practicing answering the questions using this software.
