++ Question 1

What does the application attempt to teach?

This website attempts to “teach” the students to learn the literary texts independently without relying too much on the teacher. It provides online resources for Malaysian Secondary school students studying from Form 1 until Form 5. The content of this website is developed in line with the current literary texts that are being used in the school nowadays. Meaning that, the website somehow promotes ‘independent learning’ and we can consider that most of the activities are ‘learner-centered’ because students need to gather information on their own and finish up the activity provided based on the information presented in the website. We can say that it “teach” the students to perform independent learning because the website prepared everything from A to Z. We can see that the website has its own ‘glossary’ page which can help the students to understand the meaning of certain words that they are not familiar with. So, all in all I can say that this website attempts to teach the students to practice independent learning as the website is a ‘learner-centered’ one.
