About me...?

Bismillahhirrahmanirrahim....Assalamualaikum people! 

(My First Entry => First Task for CALL's class today!)

Hello, I'm Noor Hidayah Bt Abd Halim from Butterworth, Penang. I was born in 1986 (let's test your arithmetic skill!). I'm the eldest child from 4 siblings. Right now, I'm a final semester B.ED TESL student in UiTM Shah Alam. So, this is the busiest semester for me...as I'm required to fulfill a lot of assignments and projects!

Well, this is one of the tasks to be completed for CALL's class...7 questions to be answered! Tough task?? I don't know, hopefully not...

How would I rate myself of my computer skills? I believe that I'm not that savvy about the computer...why?? I only learn necessary things about computer that are significant to my life partly because I don't like spending too much time in front of the computer...

Regarding the software and hardware that I know...well, I do have some basic knowledge about computer hardware like RAM, Hardisk, Motherboard and so on and so forth. As for software, I'm not really familiar with many software except for Microsoft's Windows...

Have I experienced learning via the computer?? Yes, I have experienced learning via computer in my formal education...my previous lecturer asked the students to post and answer tutorial questions in the I-Learn portal. As for my informal education, I go online to search information for assignments and held online discussion with group's members.

It is undeniable that computer technology helps teachers especially the English teacher in the language learning. I did not really incorporated the use of computer technology to my students during my practicum except for I asked them to go online and conduct a mini-research about a grammar item. It was a success as they managed to do it successfully. Apart from that, I also played them songs and showed them pictures / movies by using the computer...They did have fun with the lessons and managed to complete the given tasks, so it was successful lessons as well. 

The use of computer and technology is crucial for students. They help to create a better learning environment and attract students' attention to the lesson. However, due to the time constrain and shortage of facilities, the implementation of computer and technology within lessons cannot be carried out successfully.

My expectation in this course would be to discover new effective approaches on how can I really incorporate the use of computer and technology in language teaching although there are boundaries to it's implementation. 

My topic for Academic Exercise is on Students' Perception on Teacher's Written Corrective Feedback in Writing. I chose this topic based on my teaching experiences during practicum. I had difficulties in marking the students' essays because I did not know which aspect should I look into in order to correct their essays. Madam Zarina Binti Razlan is my supervisor and we plan to use the remaining time wisely and submit the paper on time..InsyaAllah...
