Hypertext & Hypermedia (Poem: Phenomenal Woman)

Image
Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size  But when I start to tell them, They think I'm telling lies. I say, It's in the reach of my arms, The span of my hips,  The stride of my step,  The curl of my lips.  I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman,  That's me. I walk into a room Just as cool as you please,  And to a man, The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees.  Then they swarm around me, A hive of honey bees.  I say, It's the fire in my eyes,  And the flash of my teeth,  The swing in my waist,  And the joy in my feet.  I'm a woman Phenomenally.

Answer the following question in your blog in about one paragraph long. Provide examples. What factors influence the development of language learning using the computer over more than 50 years? Using computer for language learning has gone through a series of development over more than 50 years. The development can be influenced by a few factors, which of those is the emergence of new theories or approaches that have constantly been reviewed and have given positive impacts on the language learning. The theories that emerged occurred in 3 different phases, which the first was Behavioristic (1960s), Communicative (1970s-1980s), and Integrative (in the late 1980s onwards). Behavioristic CALL was  developed from the behaviorist/structural theories of learning which was conceived in 1950s and implemented in the 1960s.

Task 1

Name         : Nur Raihan binti Ab Rahman Student ID : 2014661122 1. What does the website or MOOC or app or tool attempt to “teach”? Are exercises or activities included in the website? What are the types of exercise or activities included? Are there immediate feedbacks? Are there different levels of difficulty for different proficiency levels? {You can any other comments you deem necessary) The ESL website that I referred to is englishmedialab.com. The website provides a lot of interactive exercises, games, as well as quizzes that reinforce important skills and knowledge related to language which include Grammar, Vocabulary, Pronunication, Spelling, as well as Listening skills.
