The Definition of CALL The field of CALL involves the use of a computer in
the language learning process. CALL programs aim to teach aspects of the language learning
process through the medium of the computer. CALL
programs can be (and have been) developed for the many parts of the language learning process.
Egbert‟s (2005) learners learning languagein any context with, through, and around computer technologies.
CALL: Computer- assisted language learning (CALL) 1983 Toronto: This term refers to the area of technology and second language teaching and learning.
Principles of Using and Designing CALL Programs for Language Learning:
1. learner-centeredness2. meaningful purpose3. comprehensive input4. sufficient level of stimulation5. support various learning styles
and strategies6. high level of interaction between
human -machine and human-human
History of Call 1960’s : University Mainframe Computer. 1970’s : Micro Computer--- Apple II, IBM IPC
- Late 70’s : The years of Apple and Microsoft 1980’s : Publication of Books, The beginning of Multimedia
sections. - MIT’s Athena Language Learning -Tell Me More series, and Fairfield Language Technologies (founded in 1992), creator of Rosetta Stone.
• The end of 1980 :World Wide Web
Benefit of CALL Learner Autonomy Privacy Feedback Motivation Access to Information Interactivity Non-Traditional Features Repetition
Limitation of Call Limited Availability of Resources Anti-Social Behaviors Learning context Underutilization of Resources Ineffective deployment
financial problems, Hardware software Problems internet connection problems users‟ fatigue and loss of
concentration
The Phases of Call Behaviorist Calls Communicative Calls Integrative Calls
Concepts The current philosophy of CALL puts a
strong emphasis on student-centred materials that allow learners to work on their own. Such materials may be structured or unstructured, but they normally embody two important features: interactive learning and individualised learning. CALL is essentially a tool that helps teachers to facilitate the language learning process
Types of Call Activities 1. multiple-choice & true/false quizzes2. gap-filling exercise/cloze3. matching4. re-ordering/sequencing5. crossword puzzles6. games7. simulations 8. writing & word-processing9. web quests/searching10.web publishing11.online communication (synchronous and asynchronous)
What People Do in CALL
1. Teaching with one computer in the class
- delivery of content (PowerPoint, word- processor, Webpages, etc.) - classroom activities/discussions
mediated by the computer - Interactive whiteboard 2 . Teaching in the computer network
room - task-based group work /activities - computer-mediated communication
(CMC): asynchronous/synchronous - tandem learning
3. Self-access learning (independent learning) - drills and exercises - word processing - resource searching 4. Distance learning - delivering online course content - CMC activities: email, discussion forum,
chat rooms - tandem learning - community building
