Reflection #1
- Which courses incorporate the use of computer in teaching and learning?
= English Literature : Twentieth Century and Contemporary. In the subject we were required to read articles or review videos on our own given by the lecturers through emails before classes and then during class hours, we will have intellectual discussion on the matter.
- Were the computer-based activities related to any of the three stages of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL)?
- What are the important concepts in the three stages of CALL related to the activities?
= Integrative CALL : The teacher involves in the discussion and the computer as a vehicle and a tool for interactive communication.

Reflections on Lesson Plan.
After we were done with the lesson plan presentation, we found that
being a teacher is actually a hard business. Young adults nowadays
always resort in being a teacher when they dont get their intended jobs.
Being a teacher need passion, ikhlas, patience, and a lot of hard work.
Educating the younger generations is a tough job as the teacher might
be questioned in the hereafter. Through the lesson plan assignment, one
of our group members found her passion in teaching. InsyaAllah if there
is rezqi out there, she might be a teacher.
From the lesson plan activity, we found that:
- We need to accommodate the activities according to students' level of proficiency.
- The activities need to be interesting yet comprehensive.
- A simple lesson plan is the best lesson plan.
- The teacher must be enthusiastic as well as posses the best intention and also passionate in teaching the students.

Reflections on CMC
1. Through this assessment, we were exposed to the standard way of constructing a research paper.
2. We were also exposed to myriad of readings materials that broaden our perspective on CMC.
3. In the field of Varieties of English, we found that there is very little research on the Malaysian English variety, thus, this may spark the idea on conducting more research on the subject.
4. There are always rooms for improvements in any research conducted.

Reflection #4
The process of completing the mini research proposal was among the greatest times we had. The whole group members were really excited in brainstorming the idea for the topic of the research proposal. It is an advantage for the three of us because we are roommates thus whenever we sit down together, we always talk about this research proposal. Even though it was a bit difficult for us to decide in the first place whether or not this topic is suitable for us, the three of us worked hand in hand in making the research proposal a success and we did not give up. Being exposed to the process of creating this mini research proposal really excites us because insyaAllah (if Allah wills it), the three of us are going to further our studies into the Master level. We would love to thank Dr. Rozina for giving us this assignment and letting us experience the feeling of creating our own research.
From the mini research proposal, we found that:
1. Creating a research proposal was not easy but it surely gives us a memorable experience in discussing and brainstorming about this proposal.
2. We are exposed to postgraduates way of learning when creating this proposal.
3. We need to dig deeper and focus more on the topics that haven't been touched much by other researchers in order to come up with a good research proposal.

A reflection on Blog
After a whole semester long we dedicated our effort and time to this
beloved blog, we gathered ourselves some good values which rarely we get
from other assessments. Through the whole process of making the blog,
we learned how to be dedicated to our responsibilities. We learned how
we should keep the amanah given to us wholeheartedly From
dedication, we acquired that commitment is needed in maintaining and
making sure our works are done according to the time frame given. Since
we are do not only have this assessment as our single evaluation
throughout the semester, this blog teaches us how to be organized our
time and prioritize. Patience is needed along the way as this is not an
easy task. And finally, the blog teaches us how to work as a team in
completing and contributing equally the jobs assigned to us.
Reflection #6
A Reflection on the Course
Throughout the semester, we had learnt so many things in the course itself. The journey begun when we were exposed with the Computer Assisted Learning or better known as CALL. We learnt that the whole learning process throughout four years can be related to CALL and for the fact that there is always the elements of CALL in our learning here in IIUM. While were going through the passage of getting to know Computer Mediated Communication(CMC), we learnt that there are a lot to it and how by getting in depth on CMC is almost a revelation that the learning process can always be improved from time to time and how researches have been going high and low to always give a new face and view on CMC. Not only that, we also learnt that when we really put our mind on doing something and when we really push ourselves to the limit, we are able to create great things discover our interest in the field which can be very helpful in the future if any one of us would like to further our study.
