Week Three
It was as amazing as the ones that were before. I learnt many useful things.
1- I read two articles about oral/aural skills and CALL. I liked Julia Gong's article about the advantages and disadvantages of CALL in teaching speaking. Two software programs in her article attracted my attention. The first is called SlIM . It can detect the student's oral mistakes, offer visual aids and written diagnosis. The other is called Conversations which offers a variety of conversations that allows the student to record for him/her self and later to compare with the model. I tried to get more information about those programs but couldn't. I'd be grateful if one of the audience could help.
2- Delicious is a nice website where we can exchange our useful URLs. I made an account there and shared some of the useful websites. Here is my page https://delicious.com/abunasr and visitors are more than welcome.
3- As usual my generous active colleagues offered a rich menu of useful websites.I liked most of them and I invite you to enjoy some.

And here is a real delicacy:

where students can write and record their stories based on a picture,share and send their stories , moreover it allows the students to make their own picture for the story. Bon appetit!

Hi Mohamed:
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure where those programs Julia Gong mentions are, sorry. Things do change very fast on the internet. If the specific ones she referred to are gone, something else will likely take its place quickly. Indeed you have had a busy week, and I appreciate your positive attitude towards being so busy.
