We spent the whole lesson listening to all the groups presenting on the research that they have done in order to come up with a good lesson plan as well as a good online site or application
to help aid the students learning process.
At the end of the lesson, we found out that CALL can help to enhance many areas, especially the 4 main skills that students need to have; listening, speaking, reading and writing.
There are generally many online sites and applications that can be used to help and guide students in enhancing their skills, but only with proper early research from their teachers. Teachers need to be alert with the skills that they are trying to help with and also if the site is interactive. This is to ensure that the website or application that they are using are safe and free from any profanities or inappropriate content that can further harm the students.

Students nowadays really enjoy computers, and most of them, if not all, already owns a smartphone and/ or laptop. Therefore, they particularly enjoy surfing the internet and being on these online sites, so teachers can use this as an advantage in helping and guiding their students.
