Creating poster! Hi guys. Tadaaa.... This is my poster guys. I did the simplest poster but yet have the message that I want to deliver. What do you think? Good or not good? Our task for week 5 is to create a poster using canva.com. There is no theme for the poster so we can create anything that we want. So, for me, I want to encourage people to read books!.

Hi guys. So, this week i learnt about CALL. CALL? Obviously it is not the one when you talk to people using phone. Absolutely no. CALL stands for Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL).
