Group Discussion: Reflection on our experiences in using computer in the courses that we have undertaken

1. Reflect on your experiences in using the computer in the courses that you have undertaken.
Most of us probably had experience the same thing when learning Arabic. When we need to write an essay in Arabic, instead of using the dictionary, we tend to use Google Translate, which even though we know that the translation that the program provided is not 100% accurate.


2. Relate the concepts(Behaviourist, Communicative, Interrogative)  in the 3 stages to the experiences.
    - Behaviourist:
    - Communicative:
    - Interrogative:


3. Discuss how the concept in the 3 stages of CALL are relevant to SLA theories or practices.
