Webskills Online Course – Week 4


The readings of the Week 4 were very interesting and they gave me much to comprehend the idea of the teaching the language skills through Internet resourses. As far as the Process Writing is concerned, , Isabela Villas Boas, asserts that the Internet can be used in a variety of ways to support process writing as students develop their writing skills in various genres. Although the Internet is a naturally motivating tool and many young learners are familiar with using information technology, it is important for teachers to be active facilitators when the Internet is used for language learning.
Another author, Larry J. Mikulecky, asserts that the main point of using the Web sites` resources to increase student practice time with English outside the classroom. He is right saying that If the only time one uses English is during  English class, it is very difficult to secure the practice time and develop the vocabulary needed for rapid growth in English proficiency.
I have visited various sites, have tried several  searching and technological tools and have found out that there is plenty of helpful devices that make the teacher`s work easier and the Student`s life brighter.
The most difficult task for me was  to write the Lesson Plan with Technology. But looking through and comparing  the other participants` and the sample plans I think I did this hard work finally. What is it like, I`ll know soon because Donna and others will check it, for sure.
