1A) Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) is often perceived,

somewhat narrowly, as an approach to language teaching and learning


in which the computer is used as an aid to the presentation,
reinforcement and assessment of material to be learned, usually
including a substantial interactive element. Levy defines CALL more
succinctly and more broadly as "the search for and study of applications
of the computer in language teaching and learning".
B) A word cloud is a popular visualization of words typically associated
with Internet keywords and text data. They are most commonly used to
highlight popular or trending terms based on frequency of use and
prominence. A word cloud is a beautiful, informative image
that communicates much in a single glance.
C) A cloze test is the ability to comprehend text in which the reader has
to supply the missing words that have been removed from the text at
regular intervals.
D) To digitize is the process of converting information into a digital
format. In this format, information is organized into discrete units of data
that can be separately addressed. This is the binary data that computers
and many devices with computing capacity can process.
E) To Google is to use the Google search engine to obtain information
about (as a person) on the World Wide Web.

The test wants to prove my knowledge of computers, operating


systems and browsers and programs that use.
The test refers to our knowledge of technology and its uses. Today
technology is invading us, and we adapt to it. And does make us a
bit more dependent on an app or a browser, it enables us to solve
some problems, be more organized and makes us smarter.
A question that refers to the use of a website is question N8 What
kind of program is most frequently used to access the WWW?
And N9 How well do you know how to use? for example, the
browsers.

The videos show the progress and advancement that technology


has had in education in the last years.
The videos show the different methods that have been used in
education and how they were progressing with the years. Also on

D) In the video A Brief History of Technology in Education shows the


example of Web 2.0, where users can share and materials and to
express what they think and raise their ideas to others. Also we can find
mobile learning in this video, as well the different devices like cell
phones, tablets and laptops.
In the video The History of Technology in Education we can situated
the internet in the Digital Age. It shows the era when internet we can
communicate around the world with another people and share material.
4A) We talk about Web 2.0 because it is the way to connect and share
content on other web sites for others to see, read it and comment about
it. Also it is a useful way to communicate around the world
B) The correct term would be Web 2.0 because it is based on
communication between users around the world, such as social networks

doing a bit more easy way to share and exchange information and study
material.
G) I think you should use both tools as the Internet connects us to the
WWW. It is allowing us to see and share content for others.
5A) Phonetics and Phonology
The tools that I could use in this course are:

Glogster : It is a tool for create interactive or digital Glogs poster


that is presented as an image with interactive and multimedia
content in which users can interact with them. It provides an
environment to design interactive posters to express ideas or write
stories by combining images, graphics, audio or videos. In
Phonetics and Phonology, I suggest that each student can choose
a topic, make their own poster with theory, images or a video
relate with and share them with the group. This could be an easy
and funnier way to study and help each other.

Audacity: Is a free, easy-to-use, multi-track audio editor and


recorder for Windows, Mac OS X, GNU/Linux and other operating
systems. The interface is translated into many languages. This
freeware tool gives you the freedom to use a program, study how
it works, improve it and share it with others.
Students can record themselves reading aloud and listen to
themselves. On this way they can practice their pronunciation and
improve.

Popplet: In the classroom or at home, students use Popplet for


learning. Used as a mind-map, it can help students to think and

learn visually. They can capture theory, facts, thoughts, and


images and learn to create relationships between them. In
Phonetics and Phonology they can summarize theory and joining
them with pictures about the theme. For example, post theory and
images about the vocal folds.
popplet.com

YouTube: It is a website where users can upload and share videos.


In this website you can find a variety of movie clips, TV shows,
tutorials and music videos as well as amateur content. In Phonetics
and Phonology, as a teacher I can share with them an explanation
about any topic, as well as recording to myself explaining
something. For example, I can share them a video about the vocal
folds or an explanation about the quadrilateral of English vowels.

LearnEnglish: It is a website. This free British Council site offers


games, stories, listening activities and grammar exercises that can
help students to improve vocabulary, writing and grammar. It has
a special section with listening exercises. In phonetics and
phonology I can use this tool so that students can practice
pronunciation reading poems or tongue twisters.

Offline: OpenTeacher. It allows language teachers to develop customized
vocabulary tests for students. The application is very easy to set up and
use and the tests themselves exist as individual files. So, once a teacher
has created and saved a language vocabulary words test, the teacher
can then distribute the file to all students to take the test.
Online: Wordshift is a very useful tool in the teaching of languages and
multiple possibilities. It is based on Google allows us to enter a text and
we generated a series of results. Wordshift is a useful graphic dictionary,
looking for connections between words and improves lexical.
