Week 7- Reflection

Week 7 Reflection- Digital Language Learning Materials

In tutorial task week 7, we are asked to sketch out a digital language learning material interface. After discussing with all the group members, we were agreed to choose Instagram as a language learning material as our topic for the tutorial task. As DLLM has become the norm in current education landscape, it was now started to be used by the teachers to create and develop new learning platform in a way to fully utilised the technology. In our case, we had chosen Instagram as the learning platform to deliver and enable the knowledge to spread between the students. The activity that we are focuses on which involve when using of instagram were reading skill and also vocabulary. The learning process takes place when the students started to post any pictures related to their topic, giving comments and also feedback within their peers. Instagram enables them to gives comment on their personal opinion. This is a good way of learning as the students need to find out the suitable and appropriate vocabulary to be used when they gives comment.

As a pre-service teacher, this had given me more or less regarding how DLLM can be used as a language learning tools. The uses of such tools are important as it can arouse students’ interest in learning. However, the DLLM should reflect authenticity and as a teacher, we need to analyse whether it is applicable to be use or not. In the future, I will be able to generate the ideas on how to deliver the knowledge through any language learning tools to ensure the students can learn in an interesting way.
