The Role of Teachers and Computer in CALL

determines what to present next. At its least, the computer keeps complete records of each student being tutored... To function as a tool, the computer need only have some useful capability programmed into such as statistical analysis, super calculation, or word It is cl tutoring the students but also as tool and tutee. As tutor, computer helps students to lear merely he program. Computer “assisted”, i.e. a servant, since it functions only as an assistant in language the teacher’s position, it is totally dependent on the teacher in many ways: for an to tation the teacher. That is, it is the teachers who can make various roles. Without the teacher, the computer will w Using loose processing. The learner can then use it to help them in a variety of subjects... To use the computer as tutee is to tutor computer, for that, the student or teacher doing the tutoring must learn to program, to talk to the computer in a language that is understands.” Levy, 1997, p.83 ear that the function of computer used in CALL is not only a matter of n language and evaluate their performance, as tool, computer is used as a device to analyze students’ progress and to run t as tutee helps both teachers and students to create a program which supplies their needs, this will need sufficient programming skill. The role of computer in learning process will influence the process and also the output of the learning. The role of teachers in Computer Assisted Language Learning is not completely being omitted. As the name Computer-Assisted Language Learning suggests it is learning. Its role in education is that of a medium. Far from threatening example, it is unable to created educational materials without a hum direct it. All the language material and instructions for its presen must be specified by the computer assume be powerless. Jia Yi-Dong, ww.linguist.org.cndocuc2007 8uc 20070811.pdf computer as the main part of the activities does not mean that teachers their role in learning process. Instead, their role is transformed into contrib implem L depends very much on the extent to which the teacher Figure 2. 2: Farrington’s Triangular Model Levy, 199, p. 101 arrington’s Triangular model illustrates that there are class, computer, and odel proposed that the role of computer is as tool and it enables utor and author. Teachers as contibutors mean that their “Actual entation of CAL has been envisioned as having a significant role to play” Levy, 1997, p.100. Teachers as contributor contributes to the process of learning by providing suggestions, and additional explanation which computer does not include in the program. While, the role of teacher as authors is based on the reason that teachers can use other programs or create their own program. In teachers as authors, the teachers design their own program which based on the real situation of the learning environment and later, the materials included in the program can be appropriate to the learning process. The process of authoring program will need sufficient programming skill in order to create a program with quality. Farrington proposed a model to understand more about the role of teachers in Computer Assisted Language Learning. The model is: Class Computer Teacher F teacher. This m teacher to have full control over the learning process and teacher holds most of the learning styles, it is certainly not a complete substitute for a teacher since there are ubtleties for any specific learning style. It is the teacher who can cope with different learners in terms of their different motivations, ers are still playing the important part of the process in Compu provide will fi are using ompu ls, a Web browser to access them and the TCPIP and HTTP protocols to mediate the exchange” Alan, Ritter and Stevens, 2001, p.8. process. The role of teacher in CALL is important since teachers provide things that computer do not. While the computer is able to accommodate a substantial range of learning still some s emotions e.g. anxiety, learning strategies, etc. Jia Yi-Dong, www.linguist.org.cndocuc200708uc20070811.pdf. It indicates that teach ter Assisted Language Learning. During the learning process, teachers the interpersonal and intrapersonal connection with their students which ll the gap where computers can only exercising and giving feedback. Implementing CALL to support language learning process to learners should not neglect the role of teachers and other elements in traditional classroom. In the study the writer made use of Computer Assisted Language Learning CALL as the theory in developing the computer program which will be applied in class. The theory of CALL underlies the role of computer in class and the most important thing is it states the role of teacher in class since the activities c ter as the media.

c. Web-based Learning

The tem web-based learning is defined as “The delivery of and access to a co-ordinated collection of learning materials over an electronic medium using web server to deliver materia PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI The above citation explains that web-based learning is a way to provide learning materia ers accessibility ss the materials since the d as the students or learners visit website. 3 ily update their materials in th the students’ or learners’ needs. 4 ust to run hey will be able to open or run the ls to student through the use of internet services. Using the internet services the students would be able to access the materials anywhere and anytime where internet services are available. Website also offers students with sources which serve less cost of learning since students do not have to buy books or programs to access the learning materials. This is also the main concern in the implementation of web-based learning in vocabulary learning since students would be able to access the vocabulary materials online and offline. Web-based learning is implemented in the study to create a more attractive and interesting vocabulary materials. The reasons for applying web-based learning are: 1 Increased client base Using website the number of potential users is increased since it allows anyone or specific users to use the materials. 2 Increased learn Students or learners will be easier to acce materials are presente Easy of updating the learning materials Using website, teachers or designer can eas their website in order to pace wi Platform independence Students or learners do not have to install or buy new program j the materials because by using website, t PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
