Reflection on Week 9

This article mentions some criteria for teachers to use CALL materials in teaching. All these criteria are very important for teachers to choose suitable materials for their students.

My students lack of interest in learning English. It is because they come from China and they lack of confident in using it. In fact, they are more concentrated when I use the i-books and i-readers in the lessons. Those materials are published by the publishers and they match the textbooks and the readers that the students are using. Therefore, the students are more interested in the lessons when I use the i-books or i-readers. On the other hand, there are some interactive games or exercises in the i-books. Students can catch up the sentence patterns easily through playing the games or doing the exercises and the learning atmosphere is created by doing them.

I really appreciate the invention of the i-books and i-readers. It is because they are very convenient for teachers and beneficent for students.
