My groupmates are Dora, Fiona and Paul. It's the first time that I work with them. Hope we can cooperate with each other.
The website that we're going to evaluate is BBC - Bitesize Primary. There're a few sections on this website. We're going to concentrate on Key Stage 2 English, since we're all teaching KS2 at school.
After discussion, we planned to adopt Hubbard's framework for CALL Courseware evaluation. The framework consists of three main components, namely operational description, teacher fit and learner fit.
Operational description includes activity type, presentional scheme, layout, feedback, etc.
Teacher fit concerns how well the developer's assumptions about language and leanring as manifested in the courseware correspond to those of the evaluator (i.e. ours ^_^).
When evaluating learner fit, we considered whether the website suited the needs of our students and the role of the courseware in class.
Finally, we tried to adopt the website into our teaching. We chose the task - Factual writing: instructions. We are still thinking of how we can use this website in class. It can be used as both instruction and practice. Students can work independently. However, it will be an good idea to work in small groups, so that students can develop their communicative skill.
