After studying with Quizlet, Padle, and reading the story I use the storyboard. I ask them with storyboard. they answer the questions for checking the understanding.
Treasures 1.4 Meet Ben Franklin (Quizlet)
Before reading the story of Meet Ben Franklin, every student studied 50words in the story by themselves at home. Beginning of today's lesson they take a test of meaning of 50words and then we read the story. They also can predict the story on the illustrator of the story, and words too.
Treasures 1.4 Meet Ben Franklin (Padlet)

It is a Padlet for a lesson of Ben Franklin. After reading, students can summarize the story of the chaper 1and 2 of Meet Ben Franklin through this padlet. I asked some question and they answered it. At first, I click the picture and then ask them some questions.

Some materials of CALL fit my class, but not all!
I know the CALL can help both teaching and learning. Actually my students have more interest of learning English through the CALL before learning from English books. They are satisfied with some materials, programs, and sites that they can approach easily and achieve their own goals of learning.
There are so many great CALL materials, but I have to choose certain ones that can be customized for my students and my class environment. They prefer ones which help them to be self-motivated learners. In my class, they learn English only three days a week for 50minutes per each day, so they have to study more time at their homes. At the beginning of using CALL, I recommend my students to use some CALL materials at home for assignments, but it didn’t work well. Because they didn’t know the clear and explicit target and vision at which they are aiming of learning. At the time, I was under the delusion that all CALL materials are the key to self-directed, self-motivated learning. I didn’t have certain criteria that define my class goals. Although CALL can help students learn English, all CALL does not mean the student-centered and effective and interactive learning. Teachers have to know the class environment and have the criteria for their own class and students learning situation and they know the clear target of learning through the CALL.

Developing writing skills grammarly
CALL is a good place to help students writing, I recommend one program, Grammarly.
The CALL journal about writing recommend the Word processor, but I'd like to give you a chance to use Grammarly. https://sites.google.com/site/journaloftechnologyforelt/archive/vol-4-no-2-1/1
Every time in my class, I give writing assignments to elementary students. I hope that they have critical thinking and express their own thinking. Actually they have some problems to write something with using the right vocabulary and grammar. In elementary students class, I usually don’t teach English grammar and structures a lot for their first 1~2years English class. And I let them write only 5 sentences for any topics. Most students don’t want to write even English words on the page. They don’t want to write their mother language, neither. Anyway, five sentences for writing helps them to reduce their writing burden a little. Here is my student’s writing about a country. She has studied English for 1year 5months with me. She is in the 5th grade.

1. I want go the Japne.
2. Beause Japne food is deilicous.
3. Too Japene is many quake.
4. And, Japece’s The cothes are pretty.
5. And There are I have things to my lilking.
When she did her writing homework, she didn’t check her writing by herself. Every time I correct the words and grammar in class and she doesn’t double check her writing. I know that it doesn’t help her improve her writing. She needs a process to think her writing for herself, not through my correction.
There is a way to check the writing, it’s Word Processor in MS Word. But it’s not good for my elementary students. That’s why they don’t know what the right words and grammar is if the program gives them information of incorrect words and grammar.
So, here is a spelling and grammar checker on the internet. I will recommend Grammarly program. If my students download an app of Grammarly it can help them write. Of course, teacher's feedback is necessary.
