Week 6 : Internet as English language learning sources

     In this week we learnt about Internet as English language learning sources, internet provides a lot of information that can be used for our needs, including for English language learning. However, internet contains “good” vs “bad”, “correct” vs “incorrect” information. 

We must own “Information Literacy Skills” among them :

•     Access and evaluate infromation : Acces Infromation efficiently ( time ) and effectively ( sources ) , evaluate information critically and competenly.
•     Use and manage infromation : use infromation efficiently and creatively for the issue or problem at hand, manage the flow of information from a wide variety of sources, and apply a fundamental understanding of the ethical/legal issues surrounding the access and the use of information.

Type of searches engine :

·         Keyword-based : finding information based on keyword e.g. Google

·         Subject-based : finding infromation based on the subjects/topics, e.g.Yahoo.com

·         Real language searches : finding infromation based one the questions ( real-life question), e.g. Ask.com
