Reading+and+Writing


 * Reading and Writing ** Reading and writing are closely related to each other; they can't be separated from one another. When people read text, they always need to think about the purpose and intent of the author so they can understand the text better. In writing, people should keep their audience in mind to make sense their writing to their audience. How on earth can we learn and teach reading and writing in English effectively and efficiently? CALL will give us tips toward the learning and teaching.

1. "Select appropriate writing texts as models." 2. "Choose CALL that teaches genre as well as linguistic kowledge and strateies." 3. "Teach learners how to benefit from interactive help and feedback from the computer." 4. "Create oppotunities to expand knowledge of English through writing and to write for a real audience." 5. "Include explicit evaluation." 6. "Help learners develop their writing strategies." 1. "Select CALL materials with appropriate reading texts." 2. "Look for important words and phrases to be emphasized on the screen." 3. "Provide learners with oppotunities to interact with the computer for getting help with the language in the text." 4. "Let the text on the screen spark interaction among learners." 5. "Choose CALL materials that teach English through reading." 6. "Include evaluation of learners' comprehension and language knowledge." 7. "Help learners develop their strategies for reaing online." Chapelle,C. A., & Jamieson, J.
