Hi, it seems that you have found my blog. Congratulation.  To be honest I was not sure what to put for this blog but I’d manage eventually. I just hope you are excited to read my blog as much as I was excited to write my piece. So everyone, all board green, let’s start our adventure.

First of all, my name is Wan Nur Aisyah but you can call me Aisyah. Yes, I know it’s a common, plain name and you guys probably will forget this name the moment you step out from this page. In case you are confused, it is a female name so I guess you already found out my gender.I’m 23 years old, for now. And oh yes I’m taking TESL course at this moment. I'm just another ordinary boring woman.

Honestly, my computer skill can be considered mediocre if not less. I'm fine with using microsoft word, youtube, social network, my skill is enough for me to get by. I’m not savvy in computer but at least I know how to illegally download latest movies, games, crack some files.

I know myself around some hardwares like printer, speaker, keyboard and mouse, pendrive, hardisk etc.  for software, I can use Microsoft word as I often use it for my assignment. I’m also proud with myself for being knowledgeable in using some application software like SPSS, picassa, photoscrape, torrent.

I have used computer technology in language learning. For example, I prefer to use online quiz when doing grammar exercise because it provides me instant answers and explanations. the best thing about this online quiz is I can do grammar exercise while browsing my facebook.

During my practicum I used technology when teaching English. I showed Powerpoint presentation when teaching grammar or used audio software when teaching listening skill. And of course I encountered some problems when using technology like projector could not be started, speaker was not functioning and thus I wasted some precious time. But these little petty problems could not thwart me from using the technology and my students enjoying the benefits of technology

I think the idea of using technology in language teaching is welcoming and should be explored further. Whilst I support the idea I think lots of things should be improved before we implement this brilliant idea.

For my AE, I have chosen Error Analysis of Simple Past Tense in Narrative Essay as the title and my supervisor is Mdm Norai'ni Hassan, she's a very brilliant lecturer. I'm not sure what kind of software I will be using but Microsoft Words is a must. My research is pretty simple so perhaps I don't have to use advanced software to complete my AE.


From this course, I hope I can improve my knowledge in handling technology as this can be beneficial to me as a future language teacher. I also hope this course can provide me more creative, fun, effective ways of teaching English.

I guess that's all for now. Bye.
