Reflecting On Our Call Experience

In our final meeting, we'll start reflecting on our CALL language learning journey and thinking about what we might discuss in our May 6th roundtable discussion/workshop. Elissa has emailed you a reflection sheet as well as sample reflection responses to help guide you in this process.

I can safely say that my
CALL experience was enlightening.
I have definitely learned to be
more patient with my students.
It has also convinced me that computer language software must be used as a supplement to or reinforcement for instruction in a formal setting.

i've been only informally involved in CALL this semester, but when i reflect on my experience using sites not intended to teach spanish but written in spanish medium and conveying content that interests me, i'm reminded of the value of an INTENSIVE language program: my interaction within the target language has been below the threshold of what works as a critical mass to progress with spanish comprehension skills. ie, a few glowing embers do not a camp fire make. when advising students, i could cite this experience.
