      This week I learned about Computer Assisted Language Learning and English Language Teaching in Thailand. This study was about applying CALL in Thailand. CALL is widely accepted to be a tool which can be used to facilitate the language learning process. This article also attempts to forge Thai English teachers to try to maximize the opportunities offered by technological advances. The main purpose was to improve or develope the learner's competence. For the reason that Thai students had unsatisfied of nation's test score (O-NET). So, the educators or teachers had to pay attention to improve ELT in Thailand. The advantages of CALL are students can have an opportunity to interact in one or more of the four skills, namely listening, speaking, reading, and writing because they have to use or produce text meant for an audience in the target language, not the classroom Therefore, I tried to use Adobe Captivate 8 to be a  tools to make CALL for students in next time.

I learned Corpus was not only a collection of words but it is a collection of written or spoken material stored on a computer and used to find out how language is used. It was a methadology of language and corpus was created since 1897. It was around 19th - early 20th century.The first corpus wrote about child diaries.

 - Parallel Corpus: It was a translate text from English language to another language.
 - Learner Corpus: Language use crated by people learning a particular language.
 - Historical or Diachronic Corpus: 1.5 million words of text from 700AD - 1700AD.
 - Monitor Corpus: Continually being added to.
      Today, I learned the General Corpus about the concordances of  words which could make we understand a word by see their context.In the Corpus, we could find the collections that were used mostly or and I could set the number of words that I wanted to know, or the frequency by click Distribution information.Moreover, I practiced to use corpus to search some phrase such as swanning around which meant in negative way.T. Kriangkrai  gave exercise to us and taught If I waned to know some word that use with another word I could search "something * about him" and the word or adjective that could be used with men would be appeared. 
      Finally, Corpus was a useful tool for students and teachers could use it to collect and search the information. The most important we have to know How to apply it  to make our studying or teaching have efficiency.
