IT’S REALLY GOOD THAT WE MET :)
I remember that how I started to my first post on wordpress
how exciting it was
I was mixed up when I saw the topics. they seemed me like an alien
But now, at the end of the term, I can honestly say that, it was the most enjoyable lesson during this semester. I feel more comfortable now while I’m writing this post because I learned it
I have a lot of accounts for each tool and I have difficulty to remember all of them but I’m really happy because all of them works on education 
It’s really good to know the things that you learn will be useful in your teaching life. We need to know the tools in this lesson and I believe that it will be useful for me.
Maybe sometimes we seemed reluctant but you now we are KPSS students
and We have some deadly subjects 
Eventually, when I turn back, I see possitive things. and I hope I can use the tools that we covered during the term. And a huge thank goes to Sedat Akayoğlu teacher for his patience to us and for his cheerful teaching style…
So, It’s really good that we met Computer Assissted Language Learning

Final Thoughts On Call Course
Computer assisted
language learning course has had an immense effect on me until now. What l have
learned and what has changed my thoughts and knowledge about teaching English
depends on this course. My hesitation at the beginning of this course,
expectations and thoughts changed very much. Firstly, l have found out new
teaching ways of English, secondly how to cope with difficulties and eliciting
boredoom environment of class and finally lots of applications and sites (
which are free to register and use) that l can use in my teaching section.
Classical language teaching in classroom can be
monotonous, boring, and even frustrating, and students can loose interest and
motivation in learning especially shy and passive students. CALL can provide student ways to learn English
through computer games, animated graphics, and problem-solving techniques which
can make drills more interesting and rapidly. Its time saving and easy
application system also teachers to teach the course in a better way. Actually in
Turkey still lm thinking that nothing will change in education system but it
depends on teacher how to give the course. So we as young teachers should give
care our job and if we want to teach English or any other course to students we
should try new ways of teaching. New language, new pronunciation, new
vocabulary whatever comes to your mind consists effort to learn. It is
impossible to teach just in front of the blackboard with presentation of
grammer and some structures of language. Four basic skills should also be
taught to be effective. To do this we have learned a lot of applications and
sites in call course. Audioboo for example, is an important site to check the
pronunciation of students, by telling a story, suitable to their level, like us
a failure story or news they heard currently, you can give a lot of tasks like
these. But speaking program should be able to diagnose a
learner’s problem with pronunciation, syntax, or usage and then intelligently
decide among a range of options.
For writing,
you can make your students have a wordpress account and give weekly tasks again
like us, and check the punctuation errors, capitalization which is done mostly
in English or creativity and productivity of your students.For listening again
you can offer your students to listen some expert people on audioboo, ted talks
on youtube ect. and for reading there are a lot of applications as l know one
of them is e book reader application for mobile phones. Students in Turkey are
less desireful to read a book. With this application, it comes more interesting
and enjoyable to read. It pushes them to read more. Except that l have learned
some disadvantages of call course of course. Like verything call is also not
perfect. Students are open to adapt to anything they are given. Computer draws
attention and addict students to itself. There became laziness, passive students.
It is also necessary for teachers and students
to have basic technology knowledge before applying computer technology in
second language teaching and learning. They should be accustomed to computer
usage. Actually we are in technology era but still there are lots of schools
which are not met with computer. Except that It can not also deal with
learner’s unexpected learning problem or response to learner’s questions
immediately as teachers do.
To
conclude, CALL has certain advantages and disadvantages and teachers should know the strengths and weaknesses
in applying CALL in classrooms. But with
not solely depending on usage of call and with general teaching style, we as
young teachers should make some change and make the learning more enjoyable.
