Topic: Computer-Aided Intervention

Material in Teaching Grammar

 Rationale:
  
 Computer-Aided Intervention Material (CAIM) is a diverse and
rapidly expanding spectrum of computer technologies that
assists in the teaching and learning process. This is founded on
the concept of Computer – Aided Instruction (CAI) which is also
known as computer-assisted instruction. Examples of CAI
applications include guided drill and practice exercises, computer
visualization of complex objects, and computer-facilitated
communication between students and teachers. (Douglas N.
Arnold)
 CAIM can dramatically increase a student’s access to information.
The program can adapt to the abilities and preferences of the
individual student and increase the amount of personalized
instruction a student receives. Many students benefit from the
immediate responsiveness of computer interactions and
appreciate the self-paced and private learning environment.
Moreover, computer-learning experiences often engage the
interest of students, motivate them to learn and increase their
independence and personal responsibility for education.
 The guided drills in the following material will help the students
measure their speed in answering an item. An immediate
feedback will allow the learners to check on their mistake and
lead them to revisit the information section which is made
available in the same program for reference.
II. Objectives:
This Computer - Aided Intervention Material will:

 aid the learners to understand the grammatical structure of the

language;
 make them conceptualize easily the rules behind parallelism,
and
 motivate them to work on the prepared activities with the
application of graphics and effects in the material.
