Reflections

Assignment 1

• We found that finding the article for the first assignment is not that hard.  The findings gathered from the article that we chose has been very helpful in understanding the computer assisted language learning.
• After the summary of the article was done, we find ourselves more exposed to the appropriate methods in teaching language using the computer. We also learned how to handle audio system installed in the computer while using it to teach a language.

Assignment 2

• The time given to complete this assignment is longer making it possible for us to gather information as much as we can and to analyze the corpus within the given time.
• Even though Twitter is relatively new having made its debut in 2007, the internet made it possible for us to find articles related to Twitter and we managed to find a few articles related to Twitter.

Assignment 3

• We faced a few difficulties as the field of Forensic Linguistic is quite new therefore information is scarce as compared to other fields. We also faced difficulty in finding empirical studies on Forensic Linguistic due to the field being new and most of the empirical studies we found do not provide any findings as the findings are private and confidential.
• We hope that more information will be available in the future.
• The time given was very limited resulting in not being able to give our best understanding of the subject. However, as the due date being postponed, we are able to present while having better understanding of the subject.

Overall Reflection

• Despite facing a few difficulties in the process of doing the 3 assignments, we managed to overcome it, thanks to working in a group.
• The assignments given require a lot of time being allocated in order to complete it and we are glad that we managed to do the assignments and complete them on time.
• Everyone in the group plays a vital role in making sure that the assignments make progress from time to time and everyone acts a reminder to the rest.
• We had problem in understanding a few things that are quite new to us such as forensic linguistic and we are glad that we were given assignments related to things that we are unfamiliar with as we are able to learn from them.
