Hi Mr Jeff and everyone,
Firstly, I want to quote some of my expression on my daily reflections that our beloved professor Jeff have a devotedly manner and great patience to instruct student about the difficult and new CALL terms. I really highly appreciated that and I want to thank you again as I myself have really enjoyed your lessons from which I learned some useful and applicable thing such as uploading files to the blog or designing and using website EFL537.com. Thanks to Jeff's clear instruction, I have learned and practiced all the great functions provided in this Website.
I have used to internet for a long time but frankly, it is the first time I am myself owned and access to many accounts on many sites within a strong aim and in advance orders: Blogger, gmail, delicious, slideshares, twitter, ning... During the time of doing my assignments, I really like doing on Google document in writing information to share. With bookmark on Delicious, and Presentation on Slideshare, activity & quiz creation on Hot Potatoes as well are effective pages for my teaching Job. Especially audio recording and editing with creating mp3 files bring me a new relax in emotion.
Indeed all of us have been known that this term is short time. It only lengthens for two weeks of Fall 2009. Though, I do believe to report with you that you have leaded successfully in creation tasks for habituating us control, operate to valuable extra materials on computer - internet. It is not never simple and easy for me to set up all tasks of CALL without your enthusiastic assistance. And it seems to begin for the thing never ends when now and then, everyday I am familiar with using CALL in any time I access my computer.
Finally, I want to give some words to members of the following Vietnamese cohorts that all of you do not worry about CALL. Perhaps, this subject is a challenge for all of us. Naturally, I am sure everything can be overcome if you keep your eyes from the first operations of day 1 until last time. Step by step you should follow professor' instruction, read carefully and it is not less important part that all members of the cohort should share and do together in a warm atmosphere and in patience./.

Reflection of reading review 4
How will you feel? in the case, most of all your students have difficulty with communicating English language. Frankly, this is a remained problem of the desribing poor quality of teaching Speaking skill at schools or Universities in Vietnam. There are many ways to change in advance, such as, reading in speaking lesson, pictures or playing crosswords... But one more effective method is utilising technology into teaching method - Computer Assisted Language Learning and teaching.
Another word is similar to an article: “Using technology to teach speaking and pronunciation skills”. Very this instruction is a remarkable advice for our to follow that published on forum. This is an valuable instruction of Chi – Fen Emily Chen on EFL Reading list. In my university’s schedure, I like to teach Speaking skill very much. But my everyday lessons most of us only bring learner some monotomous activities without computer at class. Therefore, the learners always feel not comfortable and nervous when they are requested to say or pronounce. Using computer – internet has advantages for beginning level or for the more useful advance. My sister is also an English teacher at Secondary school. She has an opportunity to teach English with powerpoint. The lessons are taught with many beautiful , colorful contents and focus on exactly pronunciation. Correcting pronunciation is often the learners to say again by again. They are eager to speak , pronunce as well.
To summary, I want to emphasize that it is important role of computer – internet onto teaching language skills. Indeed the modern technology can help all of learners achieve in pronunciation and Speaking . Computer is used as a tutor, a Communication Medium, and an Instructional Tool./.

"Game online will develop EFL students' language skills". It is becoming a remarkable teaching trend for all teachers. This also resulted in some reflective opinions that has come to my mind after reading the article: "Language Learners & Computer Games" of author Graham Stanley on http://www.slideshare.net/begstanley/wiaoc2007-games-may-2007. Being an English teacher at the college, I wish to apply this method into my teaching strategy when many features of modern computer - internet technologies have been popularized explosively over the world.
The first is the value of foreign language learning in playing games. I have same ideas with the author that there are many different types of online computer games but not at all are allowed to teach. And there are many advantages of game online, such as, game for training,advertising, simulation,and game for education. The combining between learning and playing is used effectively since the players learn to play. That means is they are to learn a new literacy if they want to know how the game is.In my Vietnamese country, I find this way is only carried out at under schools- kindergartens.Most of children from 4 to 6 years old are familiar with multiple choice in active and colorful picture games. The teachers and children can watch and write as well as read loudly together about main words, short phrases that a particular task within the games needs. The teachers usually lead them to do with work in different group activities. They have to apply virtual words( specially Second life ), or use their imagination to complete the games... for instance.
In conclusion, I cannot pretend not to know the fact that there are much of communication in virtual English words. From game online, it is widely accepted that language has been used flexibly and effectively in the world of game with various typical actions and dialogues. Pleasure and emotional involvement are central to thinking and learning, including all four skills: Listening, Reading, Speaking, and Writing. It would be possible, applicable and benifitable to set up language teaching methods based on educational games at college. This can only be done when all the teachers understand and have enough interest to work together on this new topic in the very near future./.

Reflection of day 8
Hi my professor and all my classmates,
I find it industrious to access computer- internet from 8 a.m until now. It is for about 5 hours since I have opened my owned computer. I shared all information of day 8 through chat in room on line.We started lesson with an interesting chat part. I think this morning my professor make confusing with my nick name. It was fun when he thought me to be a guest.But no problem,perhaps it was only a joke.Then, all of us emphasized on giving some questions of today's task.Thanks Mr Jeff for your gradual helps. Now, I have already given some comments to my classmates'blogger(Thuy,Yen, Hatrinh).According to instruction, I created my account (nganhathinguyen)on Twitter.com. However, I have not yet added my account to EFL537.Anybody in class, who have done it,please show to me! For the wonderful life, I say many time: Thank you everybody.
