Computer Application in Language Studies

Ahlan wa sahlan Dr. Rozina and friends! :)

We are glad to invite all of you to visit our blog. This blog is a requirement for Computer Application in Language Studies subject and we have been instructed by our respected lecturer, Dr. Rozina bt Abdul Ghani, to work on and complete this blog.

First and foremost, Computer Application in Language Studies is one of the major subjects for Bachelor of English Language and Literature’s students. It is the highest level major subject with course code ENGL 4740.

In this subject, so far we have learned about Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL), Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) and soon we will learn about Corpus Linguistics. What makes this subject unique is Dr. Rozina emphasises on the Integration and Islamisation of Knowledge.   

We find this subject interesting because computer is used as a tool in language learning. All our assignments are computer-based where they all have to be posted on the blog. There are two types of assignments which we have to do; graded and non-graded. Among the graded one are 3 good sites for English Language Teaching and Learning with lesson plan, mode of computer mediated communication and corpus linguistics. While for the non-graded assignments we had to search for journals related to Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL).

We think that this subject is very important and useful for our future as we’ll be graduating soon as English Language and Literature Graduates. So this subject will be helpful and beneficial for us as we’ll be dealing with languages across the world through computer.

Done with a little introduction on Computer Application in Language Studies, now let’s move on to our theme which we have chosen for our blog which is Sociolinguistics.
