Subject:
Computer Assisted Language Learning

2. Pedagogical concerns for
classroom practice
 The role of the computer as a kind of virtual teacher
 Limits in software being able to take the place of a
teacher.
 Whether the above issues will be addressed in future
computer and software developments

3. Program control or user control
An effective CALL environment perhaps
needs to offer different interfaces or
combinations of interfaces to accommodate
different learning styles as appropriate to
different skills

4. Making better use of existing
materials
 Learners examine learning materials and their
strategies for approaching them--- even when the
materials are not suitable
 “Those who prepare the course material may learn
much more than those who receive it”

5. Establishing an environment where
CALL may take place
 An environment which matches the social and
interactive nature of CALL activities
 If computer access is restricted, either in terms of time
or space, then CALL will be discouraged
 An unwelcoming environment to collaboration makes
learners difficult to learn
