homework

1.
Call is a abbreviation of Computer Assisted language learning, and this kind of method of learning language can be divided into three terms.

first one is called Behavioristic CALL, a language learning method used with computer to drill and train the language learner's language ability. In this, the learners improve language skill by repeatedly training of reading with computer. In some aspects, this method is usefull, but it doesn't fit the higher level students for learning language and doesn't fit teacher for teaching higher level students.

the second one is Communicative CALL, a newer one than Behavioristic CALL, which added some new functions like not to grade students, to give students more chance to speak, and not to show to much explanation of grammar rules.

the third one is the Integrative CALL, is a language learning method baesd on multimedia computers and internet, and the language learners can learn language with the mouse clicked by their fingers.

2.

the second class

Entering the class, i found that there ware less students in it than last week, what s pity...
i think the teacher's good, the class' good, except the charge of the text book, but that's ok to me because i don't have the one like this, and it's worthwile buying it, for me. Also, i really think that the content of this book is "kind of" complex and much, it's "kind of" hard to finish reading one chapter before the next class, just like a mirucle challenge, so i strongly suggest the beautiful teacher shorten the content we have to prepare before going to the class, thanks.
