This week in call was a warm introduction to authentic materials for learners as we come back from the nice spring break! Screencasting copies the screen and you get to either take pictures of it or video-tape what you do on the screen. It can be used to help learners understand how to navigate through new programs or websites. I use screen captures frequently in my CALL class. The students need to see where to go and where to click. But because I do not have a full wall display projector for the CALL class, and simply a television, it gets difficult to display things for the entire class to see.

Authenic eposure to language.
Podcasts
Podcasts are quite helpful when it comes to learning language. The langauge is not always authentic, as it is read from a script and the speakers are usually speaking very slowly, but it is a great way to hear English. It is a type of exposure for learners.
