Podcast Review

Week 4

Hello everyone😊

Today I would like to share about a new thing that I learned in my class. The topic is about podcast. Podcast is an audio or video file that broadcast via the Internet, and can be downloaded to a computer or mobile device. The term 'podcast' comes from iPod (Apple portable MP3 Player). So, Madam Azidatun asked the whole class to make a review about a podcast that we listen to. 

For that task, I have chose a podcast from On Purpose with Jay Shetty and the podcast is about "3 Lesson I Learned From My Ex". In this podcast, Jay Shetty was alone and just shared his experienced and what he had learned from his previous relationship. I really enjoyed his podcast because the way he talked and how he pronounced each of the words even though he has slang but I can easily understand his sentences. 

So, from his podcast, the first thing that he said about what he had learned from his ex is 3D principles which are decision, debating, and disagreement. He said that we should not discuss our problem with our partner on social media or just settle the problem over texting. It is a bad move because we can be misunderstood and our partner could have wrong interpretation. 

Secondly, he said we have to know how to fight or deal with the problem. The first thing that he said we have to do is, send the text that we want to send to our partner or anyone to ourself first. Read the text throughly. Try to think how is the feeling if you recieve the text from someone you love. Would you be happy, angry or sad? We must read, reflect, and rehears first before sending the text to other people.

Lastly, do not broadcast your relationship early on. It makes things though. Because we try to make others accept us. We should makes time and space for the relationship to grow. People will know and see how happy both of you without you need to show it. It will appeared on your face how happy your relationship are. 

That is all about the podcast that I listened to. Hope you enjoyed it too💗

Lesson 3

Week 3

Hai everyone😉

Today I will talk about the lesson for week 3 for this subject. Do you know what is search engine?
So in my class, Madam Azidatun taught us about about search engine. It is a web tool that allows users to enter keywords and find information on websites contained in its database. This is some example of search engine:

Now I will share the four parts of search engine:

The first one is Database. It is like a storage where all indexed web pages are stored. Next is Web-crawlers. A web-crawlers ia an automated program or bot "crawls" all over the Web Page collecting information. Besides that, User Interface is also a part of search engine. It is a user-friendly app or site or a page where users may input query and search results are presented. Laztly, the Information Retrieval System. This part of search engine is a system used to match the user's query to indexed webpage found in database. The results presented in rank according to the mostrelevance answer.

Other than that, I also learned about Specialized Search Engine and Meta Search Engine.Specialized Search Engine have many benefit and have many category for example for students like Google Scholar and Academia.edu. And you also can find people thorugh pipl.com. Meanwhile, if you use Meta Search Engine, it gives results based on a combination of results from other search engine databases. It specializes in concatenating databases from a variety of search engines and linking search results to relevant sources. For example, Metacrawler and Dogpile.

After that, I also learned about Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) and ESL. CMC is any term of communication or interaction between two or more people with seperate computer through network connection. There are two types of CMC which are Asychronous CMC and Synchronous CMC. Asynchronous CMC messages are not exchanged and replied are not immediately. While Sychronous CMC is on the other hand, the messages can be exchanged and replied to immediately. It also allows the direct communication.

Lastly, the Collaborative Learning. This type of learning allows a group work to be done together without being in the same location or using the same computer. It is a very good way for the students exspecially. It can be used by students to do their group work together and exchange their idea easily.

That is all for now. See you again😊

Lesson 2

Week 2

Hello everyone. Today I will share about what have I learned in week 2.

C - Computer

A - Assisted

L - Language

L - Learning

CALL is the side of e-learning where computer technology is used in the context of lanuguage learning (Yuan, 2017 : 416). There are four types of CALL Programs which are CALL-specific software (e.g. CD-ROMs, online), Web-based learning materials (e.g. in websites, blogs, wikis), Generic Software (e.g. word-processor, presentation software, spreadsheet), and lastly the Computer- mediated communication (CMC) programs (e.g. synchronous: online chat ; asychronous: email and discussion forum).

Other than that, I also learned about the software design and pedagogy. The major CALL development projects are usually managed by a team of people:

• A subject specialist (also known as a content provider) - usually a language teacher
• A programmer who is familiar with the chosen programming language or authoring tool
• A graphic designer to produce pictures and icons
• A professional photographer or at least a very good amateur photographer
• A sound engineer 

Besides that, Madam Azidatun also explained about the progression of  CALL. There are three types of progression of CALL, which are:

1. Behaviouristic CALL  - Programmed instruction involves repetitive drill and practice 
2. Communicative CALL - Focused on the usage of language rather than perfect grammar
3. Intergrated CALL - The intergration of real-world materials into CALL 

Lastly, my classmates and I was taught by Madam Azidatun on how to use Canva to create beautiful design for templates of anything that we want to do. Before this I never know the existence of Canva and just edit my photo by using any apps on my phone but now I can use Canva to make my photo looks more beautiful before I post it on any of my social media.😁😁😁

Thats all for now, see yaaa.
