</span><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I have two ways to use this site in the class.The first way is that I will play a video for them and ask them to listen carefully because I will ask them what did they hear in the video. I might play it for them many times because it might be hard for them at the beginning.In this way they will catch so many new word and with the correct pronunciation.Then I will let them watch the video with the subtitle to see how word are written and then I ask them to write them on the board and then write it on their </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">notebooks to remember it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The second way is that I will play a video for them .Then I ask them about what they heard and ask two or three student to write it on the board.After that I will let them do a small activity which is related to what they heard.For example,If the video was about introducing you self I will ask two to three girls to come on the front and practice what they heard by introducing them selves to the class.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">To conclude, I can use Real English website with my students to learn how to speak English.They will also be able to understand the real English that is used in the TV,news,media and so many more.So they will Learn in a better way how to speak, hear, and understand real English easily and confidently.</span></div>

One of these advantages is that the use of WebQuest improves the students’ critical thinking. They will be encountered with lots of issues that they have to analyze and solve. They have to gather information, analyze, decide the suitable one, ask questions and summarize what they find. It has a major role in many important areas in TEFL/TESL field like activating critical thinking, student-oriented activities, enquiry-oriented language use, cooperative and collaborative learning and Project-based learning.</span></span></b></div>

would use wiki with my students by posting a lesson and wait for them to respond
about what they have learnt from it and what issues they did not understand,
it helps them to ask questions and interact with me and the other students,Wiki allows teachers and students to work closely together on a topic and help
the students to be more collaborative in the learning process.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

He also showed some differences between digital immigrant teachers and digital native students, for example digital immigrant teachers prefer to teach slowly step by step, they also do not believe that students can learn effectively while watching TV or listening to music, they want to teach their students the same way they have been taught, in contrast to digital native students they prefer to learn fast, parallel and multi-task their work process, they also prefer playing games to serious work and graphics grab their attention before texts.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #1f1f1f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">Prensky defined digital immigrant teachers accent as foot in the past, no matter how they become capable of learning the digital style, they still have something in their accent shows that they learnt it from the native digital students, for instance they print out a document rather than just editing it from the screen, they also show their students in class to see an interesting website rather than just sending them the URL because they might not know how to send it via email.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #1f1f1f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">Prensky’s point of view about the biggest serious problem facing education today is that the digital immigrant teachers are struggling to teach the students who speak an entirely new language.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #1f1f1f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">He was confused whether the digital native students have to learn the old way or should their digital immigrants learn the new style, so he gave two suggestions which are:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #1f1f1f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">The legacy content is our traditional curriculum that includes reading, writing, and arithmetic, logical thinking, understanding the writings and ideas of the past etc., it is still important but from a different era, Some of it will continue to be important but some will become less. </span></div>

It includes software, hardware, robotic, nanotechnology, genomics and many more. It also includes the ethics, politics, sociology, languages and other things that go with them. The future content is interesting to today's students and some people suggested that children should be allowed to use computers as a tool in school.</span></div>

<span style="color: #1f1f1f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 150%;">Prensky’s own preference for teaching digital natives is to invent computer games to do the job, even for the most serious content.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Stephen Bax’s (2003) Article shows a critical examination and reassessment of the history of CALL and how CALL is developed in the past, present and the Future, and he discussed three new categories, which are Restricted, Open and Integrated CALL, he also highlighted three important questions that helped him during his research, the questions are: Where has Computer Assisted language learning (CALL) been? Where is it now and where is it going? He also used Warschauer’s and Healey’s three main phases of CALL which are Behavioristic, Communicative and Integrative, to help him answer the questions. <br /><br />Furthermore, Bax defined the goal for CALL through the concept of normalization. This concept is relevant to any kind of technological innovation and refers to the stage when the technology become invisible and embedded in every particular and hence 'normalized', for example pen is a technology which has become normalized to the extent that we hardly even recognize it as a technology, CALL will reach the state of normalization when computers are used by the students and teachers in classrooms to improve learning. Therefore, CALL should be invisible In order to achieve normalization. <br /><br />Since CALL was invented, technology became an important part of our lives in teaching and learning.<br /><br />In Saudi Arabia most of the schools and universities follow the traditional way of teaching, but nowadays some schools and universities improved their educational system, they started to use computers, smart boards and projectors in the classroom, but some of them has a lack of knowledge so teachers and students must be trained properly to use those tools effectively, So it is not difficult to achieve normalization in Saudi Arabia because we just need time, knowledge and changes in our educational system.</span></span> </span><br />
