Computer-assisted Instruction (CAI) refers to the use of computers to present drills, practice exercises, and tutorial sequences to the student, and sometimes to engage the student in a dialog about the substance of the instruction.
Now I'm learning whether CAI is effient in junior English education or not, but I don't know learners' ideas about it. What' more, I will be a English teacher in junior school. So I wish someone can help me discuss how to use computer in junior schools effiently.
Thanks a lot! Confused Smile

I think it's really a Q for us.
Sometimes, I find many students are not interested in the computer programs which the english teacher show in class.
My suggestion is that we should add some pictures and new things that related to students' life and interest. We shouldn't put some old examples on the computer.

Thanks a lot!
That's a good idea! I can not agree with you any more! We should provide some new things by computer in the present time.
