Observation of online games
Thursday, 5th January 2006 was the 1st lab tutorial session at Faculty of Social Science & Humanities Lab D, 0800-1000hrs.
For the 1st hour we were instructed to find and play any games that were listed in the Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) article by Warchauer and categorize the game into any 3 phases of CALL which are Behaviouristic, Communicative or Intergrative CALL.
I googled for the Hangman game and played it at http://www.hangman.no/
The Hangman game at this website can be played either in English or Norwegian(Norsk) language.
The Hangman game is in the Behaviouristic Call category.
It has 3 levels of difficulty which are (1)Easy, (2)Medium and (3)Hard.
After selecting the desired level, the player have to select a topic which ranged from Movies, Musical instruments, Frequently mispelled words, American presidents, Brands to Animal breeds.
It rewards its player with a 'CONGRATZ' message and clapping sound effect if the player solved the game.
Wherelse, if the player fail to solve the word and got hanged, it will encourage the player to play another game by displaying 'HANGING ALREADY? LET'S GIVE IT ANOTHER GO, SHALL WE?' message.
The Hangman game is suitable for Beginner ESL students.
It's a fun way to test our vocabulary and word power :D
