Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) & ESL

HAPPY EID MUBARAK EVERYBODY!

I knowww im late to update this week entry, but heyyyyy better late than never😁😁😁

ALRIDIIYYYY THANNNN, LETS START!

This week we learned about Computer Mediated Communication and ESL. Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) is any form of communication or interaction between two or more people by separate computers through network of communication. It is like the social media that we are using such as :-

Computer mediated communication is divided into synchronous and asynchronous. In synchronous communication, all participants are online simultaneously( instant reply). In asynchronous communication, there are time constraints on communication messages and responses, as with emails.

Example of  Synchronous CMC

INSTANT MESSAGING, VIDEO CONFERENCING

WHATSAPP, TANGO, VIBER, AND ETC

Example of Asynchronous CMC

However it is not recommended to learn through video conferencing or e-tutoring because students need a learning environment is very important such as when learning is the classroom.

Collaborative Learning

Collaborative learning is an educational approach that involves groups of learners working together to solve a problem, complete a task, or create a product using a computer. this can be the place where students can increase their problem-solving skills by using google doc or google drive.

There are many disadvantages of using CMC in learning. For example, some of the students' self-esteem could be higher as they will not have to speak in front of other students. Besides that, not everyone is capable to own a computer and not all area have a great internet connection. Despite all the bads about CMC learning, in my opinion, CMC learning can be very beneficial but still learning in a classroom is more interesting full with emotion and feelings.

Im so tireddd rite nowww, so goodbyeee folks 🙈🙈
