This week, I learned about doing CALL in Thailand. In Thailand, English was taught in a foreign language in school and academic institute. All parties have put the effort to improve the learner’s competence. However, after being measured by national test such as ONET, TOEFL, or TOEIC, it has been unsatisfactory. From this unsatisfactory, the educators or teachers have to pay attention to improve ELT in Thailand.Because of the availability of education technologies, computers have influenced of communication in our life. These technologies have a powerful tools to communicate with people around the world.

This week the teacher checked our pair work about parellel concordance in Thai language. I learned about the words false friends that Thai people used from English in different meaning. Moreover, this day we presented the article about language learning. As a newly-emerged modern foreign language teaching form, multimedia foreign language teaching waits for the test of time. Its success depended on whether language teachers were initiative or not, whether they could fully exert the advantages of multimedia teaching to find and solve problems. As long as they deepen their research, sumed up experiences and improved teaching methods constantly, multimedia would bring about more positive changes to foreign language teaching and therefore greater achievements would be made in our foreign language teaching.
