Reviewing the semester and my English learning

      After the course of this semester, I used the computer as a tool to learn English more. The websites and tools introduced in the class are quite useful. Some of them are even very interesting. Some of them are user-friendly. Also, I learned that the government spend a lot to design websites for elementary and high school students to do self-learning, which is quite good, but they're still need to improve them. As a English major student, it is honorable that I could use my profession to give advise and complement to the websites.  

      Besides English learning or teaching, some of the websites also help me do my language learning. For example, I am now learning German as my third foreign language, I use the website sound-of-speech frequently to learn the phonic of German.

    I would like to say, within the four months, we spent two hour every week here getting the information of all of these. I learned a lot.

Vocabulary Spelling City:

       I visited the website and I tried to play the games. I think the games are quite helpful for a teacher to teach children or people who just started to learn English. But for me, as a student who want to improve my English ability, it is too limited for me to learn something new. Because when I tried to play the games, I have to make a vocabulary list first, but what I typed on the list were some vocabulary which I already known. However, I still like this website for it is a good tool for me as a teacher or parent in the future.

My mobile learning experience: WORD STREAK on Facebook message's games

      Recently, Facebook started to have some games in their message system. It means that people can play a game with your Facebook friends via the Massenger (where you sent messages to your friends) There are many kinds of games you can choose to play. I would like to introduce the WORD STREAK. The way to play the game is quite simple. Within one minute, the more words you can spell, the more point you get.
