Here I choose one of my favourite websites—efl537.com as my reflection target. Why I like it is that it is practical and useful for the ESL/EFL students, as well as for the teachers, although it doesn’t have so much resources or content as other websites, and it is not colorful, either. Its webpage is designed well and clearly so that the readers can be guided easily to what they need.

There is another reason that I choose this website as the research target. After taking this course, I become interested in CALL, so I’d like to teach my future students more about how to use computer or online resources to learn English. And the efl537.com is really a good website, it contains online learning resources, softwares which can be used as language learning tools.

The third reason that I like it is that the way efl537.com website design is flexible so that the readers could fine the same item in different categories or different approaches. Thus, we can not only use this kind of website as a resource, but also can learn the design method to create more teaching and learning resources. I think this is the real purpose of this course that not only to learn how to use computer resources, but also create our own teaching resources.

This kind of website could be a general learning log for both the students and teachers. For example, it is created weekly, so the students learn things step by step, and when they forget something they learned in previous weeks, it is easy for them to find it in specific journal; in the students pages, all of the students and teacher could see how the students works done and when they were done, so that all the works could be shared by everyone. However, I have an advice about this students pages item. The works are done by the students, so we should pay attention to the privacy of those, although the students blogs could be not published, most of them are pubished automatically after posted.

In my future teaching, I’m sure I will use a similar website to help my teaching and my students’ learning, and I’m going some ideas from the efl537.com website, such as, the research and link design. I mean that when I design the website, I will try to have the same link in different but related places or items so that the search could be convenient for the students. Absolutely I am going to introduce most of the online learning resources and softwares to my future students in the website, such as, Chinswing, EVO, Edtechtalk discussion websites; Daily Grammar, Free Listening online learning websites; and Audacity, 7 zip softwares which are not only for learning usage, but also for common use of computers.
