Implementing CALL in a Malaysian Classroom

1. If you had the chance would you utilize ICT (CALL) in your teaching?

- Definitely i would. I really think it would be almost a crime not to (at least try ) to incorporate ICT in a classroom . The definition of a 'classroom' should be constantly updated with the current needs of the learners. Todays learners demand something more interesting and yet effective and practical. ICT can provide all that and does cater to the current needs and expections of learners. However, some people say that ICT would change the role of a teacher where the teacher would have less authority in a classroom, i must say this is not true as i've learnt that with the right way and tools, ICT would definitely increase your authority in the classroom without the 'shoutings, headaches and punishments'. During my practicum, i havent got the chance to implement any CALL integrated lessons because of the 'trainee teacher' title that i carried and it made me feel impossible to 'fight the current'. Even in pre-practicum, we have been told not to be a 'smart-ass' or to question the school authortity. Due to that matter, if i have been given the chance without doubt i would utilize ICT in my teaching.
