       This week, I learned about kinds of CAI. It was seven kinds. 

1. Tutorial instruction was the program that gave the content to students in text, picture, audio, and all of them. After that, students had to answer the questions and they woild have a feedback when the finished the task.

2. Drills and practise was the program that had only questions or problems to the students to solve them.

3. Simulation was the program that simulate situation from the truth to practise skills to the students.

4. Instructional games ws the program that encourage students to learn the lesson.

5. Discovery was the program that wanted students learned from their experience.

6. Problem-solving was the program that wanted students to think and decide to do something.

7. Tests was the program that tested the student's knowledge.

     Moreover, I learned about Pro's and Con's of this program and the process of creating CALL. In addition, we had to present the study which was about the process of applying new technology in English teaching is challenged English teacher. Applying CALL to teach has become a new trend to advanced countries. There is integration between technology and English teaching efficiently and successfully depends on the teachers’ effort and professional abilities. Moreover, the government and education authorities concerned to put  the emphasis on the need of information technology in school, fostering the coordination of policy and resources. Though this process is difficult and complicated, it can help teachers to build up confidence and consult the innovation. It’s hoped that the difficulties teacher has faced in the study can serve the future reference for improving language learning strategies in college English teacher.
