Salam and good day to everyone. We meet again for another discussion, which is for week 5.
For this week, all the students need to do a presentation about Resource for Learning Language (specifically on Grammar) and Online Translation machine. We had been divided into a groups of two and three and besides that, we also had been divided into three "islands" by Dr. Norizan :p My group members consist me; Nurmariam Aisyah Hashim, Nurhana Samsudin and Veronica Moliun. All the students had been given about 15minutes to prepare the slideshow using Microsoft Powerpoint. (.ppx)
Lets start with the first activity which is locating the resource for learning language. Before that, we had been asked to find 5 Top Learning English Grammar using different search engines which are: Yahoo!, Google and Bing. Plus, we used the same keyword for each search engine which is "english grammar website" and this is what we had found;
Top 5 Learning English Grammar using Yahoo!
Top 5 Learning English Grammar using Google.
Top 5 Learning English Grammar using Bing.
From what we had found, most of the result with all 3 search engines show the same suggested website which is The English Grammar Website. So, we decided to pick this website for the answer of the first activity. The reasons are because this website came with diagramming and also interactive and fun activity/exercise for the student. Besides, the student can check the answer of their activity on the spot.
The English Grammar Website.
Example of the exercise for student.
Now, we move on to the second activity which is Online Translation machine. Same as first activity, we searched the TOP 5 Online Translation machine using the same 3 search engines and same keyword which is "translation". And these is what we get;
TOP 5 Online Translation machine using Yahoo!
TOP 5 Online Translation machine using Google
TOP 5 Online Translation machine using Bing.
For the result, we had found that all the 3 search engines came out with different suggested website for online translation. Yahoo! had suggested FreeTranslation.com, and both Google and Bing suggested their own online translation which is Google Translate and Bing Translator. So we decided to choose FreeTranslation.com which is convenient for all Languages and the translation also quite accurate.
FreeTranslation.com
But from my personal opinion, the best Online Translation machine is Google Translate that provide more language include Malay language and you also can upload any documents for translation. Babelfish also a good example of Online Translation machine where you can translate the whole website just by pasting the url address in it. All online translation gave good outcome, but its all depends on the user on which are the best :)
I think that's all for this week tutorial activity. Till we meet again, goodbye and take care! :)
