TELL COURSE : WEEK 1

Hello everyone!

welcome to my first post in the fourth semester, in this and next posts, I would like to sharing about my study experience and what I have got in TELL course, I hope it will usefull for you all.

Introduction

On Monday, January 20 , 2020, it was the first meeting of Technology–Enhanced Language Learning ( TELL ) course in this fourth semester. At the first time, we discussed about the course itself, my lecture explain about what is TELL.

So, what is TELL?

      TELL is one of my course that I got in this fourth semester, this course explores participant views regarding the integration of Internet tools in language learning activities. The descriptive study has illustrated the perceptions of a class of senior high school students regarding language learning in a technology environment. Making students aware that learning English through multimedia technology demands new learning strategies and self-directed learning is a crucial first step. Some pedagogical suggestions are provided for effectively using computer networking in second- and foreign language classrooms. Technology is no longer a fringe course enhancement, of interest to only enthusiastic teachers, learners and managers, but rather, it has an importance for everyone concerned in language teaching. The area of technology-enhanced language learning is highly controversial; there are so many ways of looking at technology in teaching. This course explores opportunities that English teachers have created to help students meet English language literacy goals in technology enhanced language learning (TELL) classroom environments.

      After the explanation about TELL course, my lecture told us to enroll E-Learning, we must log-in by using students account, my lecture told that there will no mid semester and final test ( no paper- test ) but we must do some projects to get the final grade in this course. We also discussed about CALL à TELL à ICT à CMC. We discussed about digital native or we can say millenial ( people who are born in technology era ) and digital immigrant ( people who were born where the technology was not developed yet ). We also discussed about other topics such as OWAL ( Online Web Assisted Learning ), Web–Based English Language Learning, Internet-Based, CMC ( Computer Mediated Communication ) and further materials about using other learning platform based technology ( Internet-based ).
