How to make true or false test in cai (week13)

You have to click on Quiz >  Question slide > choose True/False

                                         Create first slide and setting when this slide finish you can duplicate.

How to Create CAI Lesson(week12)

1. Open Adobe Captivate

2. select New > Blank Project > select Size 1024× 768 and create project.

3. Add background into your CAI :

select “Properties” > “Properties” > “Project Background” > “Add Project Background” > “Import” > select the picture and open.

4. Add the texts into your CAI,

select “Text” > “Text Caption”

5. create button for going to next slide

 select “Interaction” > “Button” and in tap “style”, you can change the caption of the texts and in tap “Action”, and select “On success:” > Go to the next slide.

6. Add the pictures, sounds, video or animation

 select “Media”.

7. click "publish" when you finish the project.

Three Phases of CALL(week11)

        1. Behavioristic CALL  is the first phase of CALL which was implemented in the 1960s. It was based on the model of the computer as a tutor. In other words, the computer was seen as a medium to deliver instructional materials to learners. PLATO system, which included vocabulary drills, short grammar explanations and drills, and translation exercises, is a good example of this phase.

         2. Communicative CALL  focuses on authentic communication and use of forms rather than the forms themselves

        3.Integrative CALL  which includes two important developments: multimedia and the Internet. They also have control over their learning and can access many background links while they are focusing on the main lesson. In addition, computer-mediated communication and the Internet are used to help create an integrative communicative environment for language learning and are a great medium for global communication and various authentic materials.

Computer Assisted Language Learning and English Language Teaching in Thailand: Overview(week10)

There are 3 teaching methodologies dominant in ELT:

        - Behavioristic CALL

         -Communicative CALL

         -Integrative CALL. 

- Behavioristic CALL  is recognized as the first phase of CALL. Most of CALL programs in this phase entailed repetitive language drills-and-practice activities. 

- Communicative CALL  the focus of CALL in this phase is placed on using the language or functions rather than analysis of language forms. And the functions stimulates students’ discussion and writing through role-playing game.

- Integrative CALL , CALL in this period is regarded as a shift from the use of the computer for drill and tutorial purposed into a medium for extending education beyond the language classroom. 

Educational CALL Programs and ELT in Thailand

-Tutorial programs are responsible for collecting, presenting and guiding information, teaching rules. Students can learn content through questions. When the students answer, they receive immediate feedback.

-Drill and Practice is to review the content background knowledge. The questions will be repeated many times.

-Demonstration is very helpful with selfdirected learning. students will be encouraged to learn by themselves.

-Simulation or so-called problem solving is used, aiming to raise students’ critical thinking, discussion skills and writing abilities

-Games are used to provide a rich learning and teaching environment.

-Testing is a tool for assessment and a method to determine what students know and do not know.

A principles to Design of CAI (week9)

CAI design process

There are 7 steps

 - Preparation

 - Design Instruction

 - Flowchart  Lesson

 - Create storyboard 

 - Program Lesson

 - Produce Supporting Materials

 - Evaluate and Revise

Screen design of lesson

 - Resolution of the monitor

 - Using color

 - The layout of the screen

The component of CAI

 - Messages

 - Sound 

 - Picture

 - Animation

 - Link                                                                     

CAI (week8)

CAI or Computer-Assisted Instruction is computer instructional technique by using ability of computer to present contents such as texts, pictures, graphics, charts, graphs, animation and sound, to convey the content.

 Types of CAI

1. Tutorial Instruction 

2. Drills and Practice 

3. Simulation 

4. Instructional Games 

5. Discovery 

6. Problem-solving 

7. Tests 

 The Advantages of CAI

- It will save time and reduce the course

- We can add pictures, sound, definition to increase the interest.

- The students can learn everywhere.

 The Disadvantages of CAI

- There are limit number and scope in designing Computer-Assisted Instruction.

- It takes time to design the lesson.
