Dear
participants and readers,
I
have visited my classmates’ blogs. I am very happy to see that most of them are
doing well, reading materials and sharing them. It is a mutual learning, isn't it?
Well,
I am too far away to comment on everyone’s blog, rather allow me this
opportunity to comment on Natalya Gulivets’ one.
In
fact, Natalya and I have the same understanding on the use of technology in
classroom. The world is quickly changing, especially in terms of technology,
the reason why a computer tool seems unavoidable in teaching field. As pointed
out by Natalya, the use of CALL in order to develop students’ listening skills plays
a predominant role!
Personally,
I have deeply appreciated information she wrote there: “There are dozens of websites that can help you
develop any skill in your students, for instance:
Speaking: Voice of America, Voice Thread, The Art of Storytelling,
etc.
Listening: Randall's
ESL Cyber ListeningLab, TEDTalks, VideoJug, etc.
Reading and vocabulary: BBC Learning English, Reading for Everyone,
etc.
Writing: About.com, English Club, etc.”
This is an occasion to invite my blog readers and visitors
to note these references which will help them. I believe that there are four
basic skills in language learning: Listening & Speaking and Reading &
Writing. Additionally, we need plenty of grammar and vocabulary. Did you dream
about improving them? Have you ever asked yourself where and how you are likely
to find teaching/learning materials? Don’t fail to visit the above links!!
My little contribution is that you may want to
visit: www.webenglishteacher.com; www.quizlet.com; webquest.org;

Enjoy!
