One of my favorite web page: BUSYTEACHER
While I was 'wondering' in facebook,, I came across a page busyteacher. The creator of the page shares very helpful worksheets, activities and many things related to English. Then I visited their offical web page and I really liked it. If I was going to teach, I definately look up this site. I used some of the worksheets and activities in that web site. English language teachers share their own worksheets in that site and all you have to do to use that materials is to sign up which is free. Moreover, you can also share your own worksheets or activies, games, songs with other teachers and you can see how many people download your material. So, you can see how successful your materials are. I would recommend you to have a look at that web page and benefit from it. Good Luck :)
Conversation with a Chatbot
Conversation Log:
judge: how do you do?
ALICE: I am functioning within normal parameters.
judge: what do you mean? I didn't understand?
ALICE: judge, I mean exactly what I said. Oh I'm sorry. Perhaps I can explain it again better.
judge: could you please explain it more?
ALICE: It's possible.. Try searching the Wikipedia.
judge: hmm.. OK
ALICE: I see. Yippee!
judge: so, what are your hobbies?
ALICE: I like robots, computers, and chatting online.
judge: I guess so. where do you live?
ALICE: Does that mean "yes"? My location is Oakland, California. Where are you?
judge: I am in Cyprus. do you know Cyprus
ALICE: Tell me a little about your life in Cyprus. I don't know if I know it. Where would I have heard about it?
judge: as you said before try searching the wikipedia:)
ALICE: OK I will try it.. I'm glad you find this amusing.
judge: yes, it is amusing. I think people can learn from each other but you don't prefer that, do you?
ALICE: Dude!. Are you sure it is? You can learn anything you set your mind to. Humans are not always infallible.
judge: of course, human can be wrong time to time but interacting with someone is good thing. don't you think so?
ALICE: My creator is a human. Yes I think that is what I think.
judge: I see.
ALICE: I'm glad you understand it.
judge: see you then Alice
ALICE: Goodbye.
I have just tried to use a chatbot Alice. Above is the chat log I made with Alice. Did I find it useful for language leaners? My answer is no unfourtunately. It's good to communicate with someone who speaks English but as it is just a programme, I think it doesn't give the same taste as I am interacting with a 'real' person. So, I don't think I would use this website when I become a teacher because it gives nonsense responses and student can't benefit from this robot. When I was in middle school, our teachers were finding us a pen friend. I think most of us had a pen friend which is more benefical for language learners. You write a letter who is 'real' human and practice your English. I would recommend my students to have a pen friend rather thann talking to a robot.
