Examples of Call, CMC, and Drill and practice

Call (Computer-assisted language learning)

Good examples

http://www2.nkfust.edu.tw/~emchen/CALL/web_CMC.htm :It provides resources for each skill: listening, pronunciation and speaking, vocabulary, reading, writing, and grammar.

http://www.englishdaily626.com/ : It provides activities for almost all the skills: reading, listening, vocabulary and grammar. But it does not provide speaking and writing activities.


Drill and practice

Good example:

http://www.englishclub.com/ :In this website you can find everything that you want about grammar, vocabulary, speaking, reading, writing ,etc.

Bad example:

http://www.elearnenglishlanguage.com/ingles/aprendaingles.html : It is an incomplete website because it only has grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation .


CMC (Computer Mediated Communication)

Good example:

Asynchronous example
http://www.hotmail.com/ . the students can send e-mails to a teacher and then they can receive feedback.

Synchronous example
Msn . It is very useful because you can talk to at least two different people at the same time, and you can receive feedback immediately.

Bad example:

http://sharedtalk.com .It could be dangerous because you can talk to strange people.
