Reflection for week 8 and 9

Hello everyone,

For these past 2 weeks i have been expanding my search on English Online Teaching.I have found many different ways in teaching English on the web.There is one feature that i found that English teachers and students can use to teach or even learn through this software.This software is called 'Podcards'.Students are able to download mp3 files or materials to their ipod or computer and they are able to listen to it wherever and whenever they want too.This is pretty cool way to learn or teach English as it offers a "valuable practice to improve learners' listening skills and give teachers additional classroom material"(eslpodcards.com).The other good thing about it is that its free to download and use and also the number of downloads are unlimited.

One other website that i found quite useful for learning English Online is Teachitworld.com. This website includes a link on teaching ideas where teachers are able to share their ideas on how to teach to other teachers, provide whizzy lessons(activities and resources) for students,audio files.tropical lessons and so on.I think this website is well recognized especially among teachers as it gives them new ideas for their classes.

I think overall we can see that Language teaching is developing in many ways especially in English and i think people find it easier to learn a language epecially English online instead of attending classes or teaching in a classroom environment.Im gonna try to find more features that are being used now and in the future of online teaching.I shall keep u all updated=)i will also link the websites that i have mentioned so that you could all have a look.=)

cheers
