Review of two particular websites


John’s ESL Community English Interactive 
(http://www.johnsesl.com/about.shtml)

John's ESL Community has so many activities for students of English. There are games, puzzles, self-study quizzes and much more, all designed to help students improve their English skills. Besides John's ESL Community Site Builder, there are many resources available for teachers including free downloadable class materials. Additional activities and materials are added almost daily. This service enables ESL/EFL teachers from around the globe to create a class web site complete with ready made activities, all without the need to know HTML or any other programming language. In this site Language exercises and tests are available to anyone who has access to the Web. This accessibility makes Web-based language learning activities quite attractive to both instructors and learners. Moreover, "John's ESL/EFL Resources"13 has several listening comprehension exercises created with RealAudio and JavaScript. Students first predict answers to questions about a subject by completing a multiple-choice JavaScript form. They then listen to an audio piece and check their work. For learning language and practicing language, the site is very suitable for learners.



Adult Learning Activities California Distance Learning Project



Learning is defined as "the act, process, or experience of gaining knowledge or skill." Learning is the preferred term rather than education that is generally defined as the knowledge or skill obtained or developed by the learning process. This online (http://www.cdlponline.org/) document presents an overview of distance learning as it applies to adult basic education. It is designed for administrators, teachers, and resource persons seeking general or specific information on the history, state of the art, and practical resources and so on. The site is very useful for learning language and practicing language.

There are two distance education delivery system here one is synchronous and another is asynchronous. Synchronous instruction requires the simultaneous participation of all students and instructors. The advantage of synchronous instruction is that interaction is done in "real time" and has immediacy. Examples include interactive telecourses, teleconferencing and web conferencing, and Internet chats.
Asynchronous instruction does not require the simultaneous participation of all students and instructors. Students do not need to be gathered together in the same location at the same time. Rather, students may choose their own instructional time frame and interact with the learning materials and instructor according to their schedules. Asynchronous instruction is more flexible than synchronous instruction. One disadvantage is that self paced instruction places a substantial burden on the student to maintain interest, focus, and pace. This motivation can be difficult to sustain.
