Experience of English Teaching Practice Using The Offline Software Application.

SLOW CLICK EXPERIENCE

On the last Thursday, I and my friend Tutik have presented our presentation about offline software for teaching English language in front of my class. We chose "slow click" software application in website http://gamestolearnenglish.com/slow-click/ for our presentation. In our presentation, I became the operator and my teammate,Tutik explained the software in front of the class. We used games – slow click as our application software in teaching English language, it is a game that teach simple vocabulary, it provides by many pictures. It can attract the students of elementary school students in studying the English vocabulary. The games provide three categories, sounds, text, and name, so, the students can choose the three categories in studying the vocabulary.

 

You can choose many contents of vocabulary in the game, such as job, food, animal, nature, traffic, etc.

 

If you choose Sound category, so you have to answer by clicking the right picture in some choices of pictures based on the sound you hear.

I think teaching English language using the interactive media was fun and enjoyed experience. We can feel that my friends as my students feel enjoy in studying the material. It has some advantages for the students such as they will focus to the material, because they are not bored in the activity, they will be attractive in studying the material. It is one way in English fun learning in order to improve their ability in vocabulary, not just to notice the teacher explanation about the material all the times in classroom that will be so boring activity, but they can try different things in learning English. 
But I think there are also some disadvantages using the software application in teaching and learning activity, because it has to be prepared appropriately before the teaching learning activity begin.
