Selecting Materials

“Materials should not be just an assemblage of distinct vocabulary item and structure, but a heaving, swirling, dynamic whole, the means

by which men, women and children communicate with each other.”

(Richards & Rodgers;1985)

Materials compiled through discussions and consultationswith teachers. And English grammar books used as well as information and suggestions since grammar is the main problem for EFL learners

Hypermedia system

Mainly run on PCs (IBM)

Determining Tasks

Tasks should be provided to stimulate interaction between user and computer

“In CALL program, tasks presented in the form of a set of exercises following

material presentation section, and learners are asked to practice doing

them.”

Designing Structure of Program

The Structure of program consists of 3 parts:

Tutorial

Material

Exercises

Feedback during student practice is a fundamental component of well- designed computer assisted instruction.

A call program is one of effective ways in English language teaching and learning due to its effectiveness in assisting students to learn independently and get a better self confidence in learning English.

Initial planning, determining objectives, choosing types of programs, selecting materials, choosing software, determining tasks and designing structure of program are some steps in developing CALL.

5 principles in developing CALL, they are interactivity, usability, content appropriateness, effectiveness and performance.
