14. Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL)
refers to the use of digital technologies, specifically
computers and software applications, to enhance
the teaching and learning of languages.
The goal of CALL is to provide learners with
engaging and effective opportunities to develop
their language proficiency in reading, writing,
speaking, and listening, often catering to individual
learning styles and paces.

17. Phases of CALL Characteristics
1. Behaviouristic (1950s-
1970s)

19. Learning
theories
Behaviourism
Cognitivism
Constructivism

20. Behaviourism
•all behaviors
are acquired
through
conditioning
Cognitivism
•how
information is
received,
organized,
stored and
retrieved by the
mind (visual
learning,
auditory
learning,
multimedia
learning)
Constructivism
•knowledge is
constructed by
learners as they
attempt to
make sense of
their
experiences
