CALL Review III

Wikispace

     Wikispace enables students to do collaborative writing project in the class.

     First, teacher introduces students to wikispace and prewriting. Second, students write initial writing  in groups. And then students revises the first draft. Finally, students proofread their group report for grammatical and lexical errors, and publish their writings.

     Group writing work using wikispace is effective in motivating and improving students' writing skill. Because students do their group writing worka for the first time, students' initial response is maybe slow. But after the couple of days, students will participate actively, because students can simply add their ideas for their group works and they feel sense of belonging. So finally the students are motivated and excited about the writing projects. Moreover, this wikispace page enbles all students to participate their writing projects and do their group works collaboratively, so students' final writing can be more perfect. For this process, students can learn cooperation and improve their writing skill.
