Learning Reflection on Lesson.
The four main that the new generation should learn how to know, learn how to do, learn how to leave together, learn how to be. The teaching target of college English is to cultivate the student’s comprehensive capabilities to use English, especially the listening comprehension and oral expression ability.
1. The Current Status of the Multimedia Teaching Method in College English teaching
We can cultivate the students’s English abilities, which are the final teaching aim and developing the student’s English intercommunitive ability.
2. Relationship between the Qualities of the College English Teachings and Multimedia Teaching The teacher should make innovation on the College English Test and be more active in the teaching and carry out effective quality education.
3. Misunderstandings and Disadvantages of Multimedia teaching in College English Teaching
- Teachers neglecting the essentials
- Teachers over use multimedia and neglecting its auxiliary teaching function - Some teachers being impercipient to multimedia method.
4. Some suggestions on Multimedia Teaching in College English Teaching
- Teacher should change their ideas of using multimedia teaching that the determinant of teaching optimization doesn’t rely on using whichever media but the education concept.
- We should devote major efforts to developing multimedia teaching mode based on network circumstance. the students’ interest of self –study English will be strengthened, their ability of speaking and listening to English will be also heightened.
5. Conclusion The using of multimedia in nowadays, multimedia is a part of thing to developing the teaching in the college classroom. We should support and apply multimedia teaching method into both teachers and learners.
Innovation Education Technology in the global classroom
ESOL teachers must be inventive, creative, and
committed to keeping up with innovation in a rapidly changing world. Teacher should be encouraged to employ instructional technologies in the educational setting- including online discussion, podcasting, and blogging- so that they can keep abreast of best practices in technology.

The future teachers need to know how to teach students who represent generations to come.
1. Integrating instructional Technology into an Assignment
Seeking to understand how ESOL teachers create meaningfulcontent for future. Teaching content, such as case study portfolios, can be integrated with instructional technology, such as online discussion, podcasts, blogs, and wiki, to enhance learning experiences and provide better curriculum.

2. The ELL Case Study This part of the assignment consisted of a number of step: (a) prepare a case study (b) collect data from the ELL (c) analyze multiple data sets, and (d) create a problem scenario specific to the ELL by coming up with the reflective and discussion questions based on the case study experience.
3. Blogging
Blogs are online commentary, personal reflections, or new on a particular subject.
4. Podcasting
Internet-based audio programs available for downloading that allow the listener to play the audio through a computer or on the MP3 player.
5. Creating a Wiki
After posting their case studies, blogging about them, and creating they podcasts, the preservice ESOL teachers suggested teaching methodsand activities to their classmates via a wiki in Blackboard or another program or Website.
6. Online Discussion
Communities maybe private or public, and the content can be created and maintained by the instructors. In this project, online discussion provided a window to observe how the preservice teachers constructed knowledge and interacted with other.
7. Implications
This assignment focusing on implementing technology in the classroom proved to be dynamic, effective, and beneficial for everyone involved.
Why English is important
Why English is important
IF YOU are currently learning English in a school, college or institute of further education, you join approximately one billion other people around the world who are engaged in the same pursuit. However, as you try to memorise proper grammar, and try to avoid the mistakes common to most students of English, you may wonder why you are learning the language in the first place.
So, why is English important?
After Mandarin, English is spoken by more people than any other language, and is the native language of more than 350 million people. More people speak English than those who speak the Arabic and French languages combined.
Moreover, English is the international language of diplomacy, business, science, technology, banking, computing, medicine, aviation, UN & NATO armed forces, engineering, tourism, Hollywood films and arguably the best pop and rock music in the world.
English has plenty of words to choose from. In fact, an English speaker is offered the biggest vocabulary of any language with a choice of 500,000 to 1,000,000 words (including technical and scientific terms).
But don’t panic, most English speakers do very well with a vocabulary of around 20,000 words.
English can be fun too. For instance, the music of such stars as Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Michael Jackson and Madonna has encouraged fans to speak the language of their idols, whilst others have enrolled in English classes to improve their understanding of the dialogue in films and TV shows.
Or perhaps they have embraced English to enjoy the writing of Stephen King, George Orwell or J.K. Rowling. They may even have an interest in speaking English just to converse with travellers from other countries, who communicate by using the English global interlingua while travelling abroad.
Finally, if you are studying English at school, college or university, remember that getting an ‘A’ grade in English is almost worthless, in terms of communication, if you cannot speak the language. Spoken English is used in the best careers, the best universities, and is increasingly being used at job interviews. So like it or not, English is a very important language to learn how to speak.
Being able to read and write in English is not enough! – Vance Carson, Kajang

Why do we have to use blog
a blog is a type of website that is usually arranged in chronological order from the most recent ‘post’ (or entry) at the top of the main page to the older entries towards the bottom. Blogs are usually (but not always) written by one person and are updated pretty regularly. Blogs are often (but not always) written on a particular topic – there are blogs on virtually any topic you can think of. From photography, to spirituality, to recipes, to personal diaries to hobbies – blogging has as many applications and varieties as you can imagine. Whole blog communities have sprung up around some of these topics putting people into contact with each other in relationships where they can learn, share ideas, make friends with and even do business with people with similar interests from around the world.

Why do we have to use Blog
Why Do e have to use Blog is just the initial foray into an exciting new online project – On this site, I’ll be exploring, through interviews, why so many people sit at a computer and reach out across the internet – through the medium of written words – to find others who want to sit at another computer and read what they wrote, and sometimes to then interact (via comments or posting on social networking sites) – again through an exchange of written words. (Podcasting -audio blogs- and video blogging are also of interest to me as well.)

Describe the following terms
Synchronous Tools
Synchronous tools enable real-time communication and collaboration in a "same time-different place" mode. These tools allow people to connect at a single point in time, at the same time. Synchronous tools possess the advantage of being able to engage people instantly and at the same point in time. The primary drawback of synchronous tools is that, by definition, they require same-time participation -different time zones and conflicting schedules can create communication challenges. In addition, they tend to be costly and may require significant bandwidth to be efficient.
Asynchronous Tools
Asynchronous tools enable communication and collaboration over a period of time through a "different time-different place" mode. These tools allow people to connect together at each person's own convenience and own schedule. Asynchronous tools are useful for sustaining dialogue and collaboration over a period of time and providing people with resources and information that are instantly accessible, day or night. Asynchronous tools possess the advantage of being able to involve people from multiple time zones. In addition, asynchronous tools are helpful in capturing the history of the interactions of a group, allowing for collective knowledge to be more easily shared and distributed. The primary drawback of asynchronous technologies is that they require some discipline to use when used for ongoing communities of practice (e.g., people typically must take the initiative to "login" to participate) and they may feel "impersonal" to those who prefer higher-touch synchronous technologies.
