Abstract: | This research paper details the extensive use of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL)
for a content-based reading syllabus at Gunma University, through the software program Moodle
(Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment ), a free and open-source software learning
management system used at Gunma University.
The research basis of this paper is within the sphere of Action Research , as a valuable professional
development tool (Nunan, 2001) based on this researcher’s perceived valuation of the system and how it
could better aid students to perform better in and be more motivated towards their English language and
reading studies, introduce new technological skills and abilities, and aid teachers in better preparation,
teaching and assessment of reading classes. Moodle enthuses that the Lesson Module ‘enables a teacher
to deliver content and/or practice activities in interesting and flexible ways...teachers can choose to
increase engagement and ensure understanding by including a variety of questions, such as multiple choice,
matching and short answer.’ (Moodle, 2016). Therefore, this paper will ascertain whether the syllabus
achieved a greater engagement and enjoyment by the students, and ensured better comprehension and
understanding of key tasks and instructions. In addition, it will detail how teachers can benefit course
management by employing such technology within the classroom. |
