P. Ravi, (2005). COMMENTARY: YOU'RE NOT STUDYING, YOU'RE JUST... , Language Learning and Technology, 9(1),80-96

Summary

The article is about how technology can enhance the studies.  Ravi mentioned this entertainment-media could help someone who was weak in language learning.  It is because this software has the bi-lingual function.  It can change the language in different languages.  Even the deaf or blind people can use this software to learn because the virtual world formed through their interactions with other line players on the Internet. And it is a kind of value game for learning.  Students who has learning difficulties or find the homework difficult to understanding, he/she can try this software.  Their problems may be solved.

Reflection

New technologies are popular nowadays.  Parents are very general to buy education aids for their children.  However, I would like to try Ravi ‘s software mentioned in the article.  It is quite interest to me as we can learn more freely and easily on Internet with this kind of materials.  But we must try more to find the suitable one. After making some games for my students to use in the English lesson, I find that use IT learning really very interesting and amazing.  It really can motivate students’ motivation of learning.  Now I am more understanding playing can be a kind of learing. I will try more.
