http://call-thefirstpost.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 19, 2010. Blog post (3/18 #2). Using wikis as CALL material? Monday, March 15, 2010. Blogpost (3/18): Text-based chat? My question is that how Computer-Mediated Communication (text-based chat) should be used to enhance the learner's acquisition. Should it be used to improve their accuracy? Or should it be used for their fluency improvement? What do you think? TESOL QUARTERLY Vol. 16, No. 4 December 1982. Http:/ www.jstor.org/stable/3586471. Friday, March 12, 2010.

KUMA's TESOL Blog: Systematized Classroom English?
http://call-thefirstpost.blogspot.com/2010/11/systematized-classroom-english.html
Tuesday, November 30, 2010. After having talked with my friend about concrete techniques for English classrooms in Japan, I came up an idea that it must be helpful for both EFL/ESL learners (especially for EFL) to create systematic vocabulary and phrase lists for classroom-English. So, how can we achieve the goal without making the class an examination-preparation style? Why did he call it "systematic"? His idea, I think, is based on the learner's LAD (Language Acquisition Device), in which input becomes...

KUMA's TESOL Blog: April 2011
http://call-thefirstpost.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 25, 2011. A Thought on Blogging. Discussion on the effects of input and output is no more brand-new, but still a major concern in second language teaching area. This widely spread discussion, whether language input enhances language acquisition more than language output or vice versa, is not an applicable idea to second language teaching, but it can be applied to learning in general. Teachers have to be intellectual." (Noam Chomsky). So, from today. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Notes for Tue...

http://call-thefirstpost.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 16, 2010. After seeing my friends off. Most of my friends who came to Japan an exchange students have already left Japan, going back to their own country. And, I feel 一期一会 (Japanese word which means preciousness of meeting people) for each of them. It was almost one year ago when I left Japan and took the first step on Chicago as an exchange student. At that time, I didn't know what would happen in Chicago, much less things which would happen after I came back to Japan. Free Technology for...

Tuesday, September 14, 2010. Keep loving what you're doing. Elizabeth Gilbert, a respectable writer, had a presentation in TED which is inspiring and encouraging for all of us despite what we do. Her message is that we have to love our job, be stubborn about it, and believe that we will someday achieve an extraordinary, terrific consequence. Wednesday, September 1, 2010. Extensive and intensive learning? The extensive and the intensive learning is not something which can answer the previous question "wha...
