software evaluation
Software evaluation is not an easy work. We have to evaluate at different sides, not only advantage but defect. Although it took our team a lot of time to finish the report, we still think that the process is interesting! The report gave us an opportunity to thihk deeply about the EFL learning software. We only follow the instruction of the sofware in the past and don't have ant ideas about evaluate the Enhlish learning software. But now, we have our own thoughts. According to the Criteria for CALL, we can do the basic evaluation for some sofeware by ourselves.

criteria
Today, we learned how to evaluate the CALL. There are six important criteria in teacher's handout. We thought the unit is difficult, but the teacher said it just a basic theory of the evaluation CALL. When we heard that, most of us felt surprised and thought "GOD! We should not take this class."(Ha1Ha! Just kidding!)
Finally, we choosed All Plus to be our evaluation material. Although it's a CD-ROM with magazinea, we still think it worth to evaluate. Not only its great content but also its easily software instruction, All Plus can improve the learners' English skill.
