SECOND ENTRY (5 JUNE -9 JUNE)

Hello!! have a bless day everyone.😃

Firstly, this week i had learnt two topics which were EVOLUTION OF CALL & SEARCH ENGINES AND ONLINE DATABASE ➤

For the evolution of call basically our lecturer taught us some history from the beginning of the CALL until it became modern nowadays.

Actually, back then we had the teletype whereby

⧪ Students answer questions using a teletype coordinated with a tape recorder.

⧭Students listen to questions and type in the answer and students work is compared with

answer sheet.

Besides, my first impression when i learnt all this topic is when compared before the technologies became so modern and updated whereby when my lecturer told that when she was learning they have to create to coding and so on. Plus she remind us nowadays we just need to drag here and there and everything is on our fingers depends on us whether want to do it or now. When I learnt about the evolution of Call from the teletype and using CD Rom era as for me i found it harder because of no internet connections those days. I must said that this generation and future generation are very lucky because everything is there in internet but depends how we used it. 

I still remember when I was around 5/6 years old my father bought us a computer and that time my mother bought us CD so that we can learn English/ Maths and also Science. Contrary from now we do not need all the CD and all. Next, computer can be our tutor as well. This is when for example I am doing an essay and then I can search for synonym and can see whether my sentence structured is correct or not throughout grammar checker.

Computer gives guidance but does not judge students. 

For example, when we did not how to pronounce a words we can search in internet and listen for a few times.

The Internet and CALL

• Recent advances in CALL is dominated by the internet to access and communicate information. Without internet connection it is so hard to access and learn language.

• Used for a variety of purpose. Not only for language learning but as a medium to communicate through e-mail and also Skype.

• Role of the English Language as most of the instruction in computer/laptop as well in internet and all search engines is in English so can enhance English learning.

• Learners are not only recipients but also communicators and creators. For example chatting room. 

All this while, i did not have any idea how actually this internet works and how it transmitted. I just know that it is controlled. World wide web is a web tool that allows users to enter keywords and find

information on websites contained in its database for example Google or Yahoo software that

collects data from the Web to include in its database. Plus, each search engines has it owns database.

💓 Database

A storage where all indexed webpages are stored and Contains only essential information of a Webpage.

💗Web-Crawlers or Spider

It is and automatic program. Basically this web crawler will process all the information and data.

💗User Interface

A page to search all the information 

💓Meta Search Engine

Matches the user's query to multiple search engines. EG: MetaCrawler

As a conclusion what I understand about all this there are many search engines and varieties of ways you can use through this search engines and online database. I will definitely look into every search engines and see how it works. 

Until then 💋👐
