Websites Review
For today lab work, we were asked to explore language learning websites and try out the activities online and identify the properties of electronic text that could be find in the website.
The first website that I visit was www.usingenglish.com . This is a useful website for both the teachers and the learners of ESL as it provides complete explanation for every topic about English grammar. At the end of the explanation, activities were also provided for readers to try out. On the other hand, the second website that I visit was www.manything.org . This website is interesting as it offers many activities, which includes writing, reading and listening activities. Among of the activities are quizzes, word games, proverbs, a random-sentence generator and other computer assisted language learning activities.
These websites comprise most of the seven properties of electronic text. First is plasticity where you are able to copy the text, remodelled and altered it with the word processor according to your needs. For instance, you can copy the grammar notes and modify it by changing the text colour and so on. Besides, these websites have links that you can visit multiple pages where the links can be within and out the website. The links is different between students and teachers. Both websites are multimodal too. For example, in manythings.org, is multi modal due to the uses visual, graphic, audio and video aspects in the website. You can learn correct pronunciation as it includes in the listening activities and there is video tour at this website too.
In addition, both websites have their own search engine (searches) so it will be easier for the users as they did not have to go to other website if want to search for other information and footprints where you will be able to track down the page that you have visit. This can be done through the history site at the web browser. Finally, the usingenglish.com website is virtuality because you are able to communicate with other users in the forum to exchange ideas and ask for assistance in learning language with whomever that participates although they are not in the same country.
Now, it can be seen that learning English via the website can be fun too. Moreover, you can visit many other interesting English website besides those I mention. Hence, let us start to various the ways we learn English! :)
