Technology and writing
this is my reflection journal for topic 10; technology to teach writing. After i read the article about technology and teach writing, i got some knowledge that really important for me. I just know that there are some role and also some approach to teach writing and used technology. These approach had been using since 1960s until now, but there are some improvement from the implementation.
These approach have some differences each others. Actually in the first approach it only focused on linguistics forms. While in the second approach it focused on recognizing the elements of the topic. For example, how to write a well essay, how to write a good conclusion ad so on. Based on these approach i found that time by time the focused of these approach improved to the other one. It is related to the speaking elements. If i see the stage of speaking elements the first stage is about accuracy and it is similar with the writing stage that the first approach is focused on grammar. Accuracy is related to grammar. If we want to learn accuracy we have to learn about grammar. It showed that the language skills approach are integrated and also have similarities each other.
The other approach of speaking and writing are have similarities too. As we know that the other stage of speaking focused on fluency and in the writing the other approach is free writing activities. So, students have a freedom in writing activities and they may get a feedback or comment from their friends. It is same with the fluency in the speaking approach. Students have a freedom to speak anything without afraid to make a mistake and they can get the improvement from their friends if they make a mistaken.
Based on those explanation, in my opinion language skills are integrated each other especially writing and speaking skills. It is make students easy to learn all the language skills approach especially speaking and writing because both of them related each other. About the technology to teach these language skills, in my opinion it is very useful for use technology to teach writing and speaking skills because technology provide so many tools and software to learn about writing skills. learn with technology is more interesting than manually. We can learn interesting activities such as games, and another website that challenged our critical thinking. But, again we can not use technology all the time, just use technology as the machine that can help you to learn something. You have to learn about writing skills by manually or by books too. So, you can get so many references and you can compare the effectiveness by using technology and using books. Which one can make you learn language skills effectively ?.
