Review:

Alternative Approaches to Language Teaching: Mobile assisted language
MALL actually has less to do with the tech, and more to do with new opportunities.
Definition: Language Learning that assisted or enhanced through the use of a handheld mobile device, often considered a subset of CALL.

MALLS have more distinctive features:

• they serve as an extension to create new spaces in new environments 
• potential for learning is spontaneous, informal, and personalized.
• learning can be multi-modal and users are able to bring in prior knowledge to enhance the experience. 

Distinct Advantages of MALL

• proponents often site the idea of “learning anytime, anywhere” as one of the most appealing aspects. The propatability and connectivity of mobile devices allow for the users to collect data and also submit data at their own pace.
• Informal social interactivity can occur between the users of the game and they will be able to make stronger connections as they work their way through game play challenges
• argument reality in MALL allows for people to exist within two worlds at the same time, the physical space and virtual space.

APPLY
Experiencing ADS
This activity allows the students to experiencing using any Alternative Delivery system.

This activity will be done by group (5 members in each group).the students will simulate learning with the use of any alternative delivery system. Based on their extended reading on ADS, students will show the advantages, disadvantages, and effectiveness of using ADS.

Write below the synopsis of the simulation you plan to present in class.

Distance education/learning

 Distance Learning Advantages

• Lots of Flexibility. With distance learning courses, students can complete their course work from just about anywhere; provide there’s a computer and internet connection. This allows students to work when and where it is more convenient for them without having to squeeze in schedule classes to an already busy life.
• No commuting. Taking a course online can be one way to cut down on costly gas public transportation. Since students can often work from home to complete their class assignments, both time and money are saved in cutting out the trips to and from class.
• Numerous choices of schools. Even if you live in a community with few or no colleges distance learning allows you to choose from a wide variety of schools to complete your education. You may find online schools that specialize in your particular field or one that can provide a great general education. Either way, your options for education will be greatly expanded.
• Lowered costs. Prices for online courses are generally cheaper than their on-campus counterparts and you won’t have to worry about commuting, moving or getting meal plans on campus, some additional benefits to learning from home.
• Learn while working. As distance learning can usually be completed on your own schedule, it is much easier to complete distance learning courses while working than more traditional educational programs. Keeping your job gives you more income, experience and stability while completing your degree giving you less to worry about and more time to focus on your studies.

Distance Learning Disadvantages:

• Lack of social interaction. If the classroom environment is what you love most about learning you may want to take a step back and reconsider distance learning. You’ll likely get some interaction on chat rooms, discussion boards and through email, but the experience will be quite different than traditional courses.
• Format isn’t ideal for all learners. Not everyone is an ideal candidate for online learning. If you know you have problems with motivation, procrastination and needs lots of individual attention from an instructor you may want to think long and hard before enrolling in an online learning program.
• Some employers don’t accept online degrees. While a majority of employers will, there are some who still see a stigma attached to distance learning. Realize that your online degree may not be the ideal tool for some job fields or for future learning.
• Requires adaptability to new technologies. If you’ve never been one to love working with technology you will probably get a lot less out of an online course than your more tech-savvy counterparts. Make sure you feel comfortable working with computers and with online programs before you sign up for a class.
• Not all courses required to complete the degree may be offered online. It makes sense that more practical majors like nursing aren’t offered entirely inline, after all, part of the degree is learning to work directly with patients. Find out all the requirements of your degree to see what may be completed offline.

2. Broadcast radio
      The radio these days is more accessible than gas for your car or food for you belly. With thousands of radio and satellite radio stations broadcasting around the clock all one have to do is turn on the car and push the button. The radio ranges from heavy metal to how to sell your metal spoons.
While some enjoy listening to music on the way to and from work, others listen to talk radio or the radio news. 
     It’s important to designate the two because both are very different. Talk radio is opinions and radio news is information coming through the interpretation of the radio personality. Sounds the same huh?

Advantages:

• Most interactive- the radio allows listeners to call on and talk to a radio personality immediately about a subject they are discussing. This makes the situation more interactive where a variety of listeners can interject their opinion and create a dialogue between the listening communities.
• Up to date and Accessible- radio is free and can be heard from a portable transmitter like a Walkman, or in the car. This allows the listener to receive up to date information as events are unfolding from virtually anywhere.

Disadvantages:

• Bias- Often the news is heard through the voice of someone who is interjecting their opinion into whatever the news may be about. This can subject the information to bias and promote possibly one and not all sides of the story.
• Fleeting- With other programming conflicts and obligations, often news on the radio is fleeting, which means information is subject to change with each news update.

3. Audio graphic teleconferencing
- (Or “electronic white boarding”, “screen sharing”) a form of teleconferencing in real time using both an audio and a data connection. The computer screen is shared by more than one site, and used as an electronic blackboard, overhead projector or still video projector. Some systems allow for sharing software also.

4. Online technologies
      The Internet of the World Wide Web is indeed a wonderful and amazing addition in our lives. The Internet can be known as a kind of global meeting place where people from all parts of the world can come together. 
       It is a service available on the computer, through which everything under the sun is now at the fingertips of anyone who has access to the Internet.

Advantages of the Internet
The Internet provides opportunities galore, and can be used for a variety of things. Some of the things that you can do via the Internet are:

• E-mail: E-mail is an online correspondence system. With e-mail you can send and receive instant electronic messages, which work like writing letters. Your messages are delivered instantly to people anywhere in the world, unlike traditional mail that takes a lot of time.

• Online Chat: There are many ‘chat rooms’ on the web that can be accessed to meet new people, make new friends, as well as to stay in touch with old friends.
• Downloading Software: This is one of the most happening and fun things to do via the Internet. You can download innumerable, games, music of which is free.

Disadvantage of the Internet
There are certain cons and dangers relating to the use of Internet that can be summarized as:

• Personal Information: If you use the Internet, your personal information such as your name, address, etc. Can be accessed by other people. If you use a credit card to ship online, then your credit card information can also be ‘stolen’ which could be akin to giving someone a blank check.
• Pornography: This is very serious issue concerning the Internet, especially when it comes to young children. There are thousands of pornographic sites on the Internet that can be easily found and can be a detriment to letting children use the Internet.
• Spamming: This refers to sending unsolicited e-mails in bulk, which serve no purpose and unnecessarily clog up the entire system.
