Pedagogical concerns for classroom practice

1. PEDAGOGICAL CONCERNS FOR
CLASSROOM PRACTICE
• Different software programs are considered as a
virtual teacher, a guide, a teaching and learning
tool
• It offers comprehensive, effective and efficient
language teaching without human intervention
• There are limits to the ways in which software is
able to take the place of a teacher

2. SOFTWARE OBJECTIVES
• To offer different interfaces to accommodate
different learning styles to different skills
• To help to students to develop their own learning
• To indicate how learners should progress through
levels of language learning
• To make to the students more responsible for their
learning
• To develop an intrinsic motivation

3. MAKING BETTER USE OF EXITING MATERIALS
• When a CALL program is not suitable, learners and
teachers might need to examine ways in which it
can be adapted
• The creation of such adaptations is beneficial to
future learners
• Who prepare the course material may learn much
more than those who receive it
• A popular example of this is some webquest

4. ESTABLISHING AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE CALL
MAY TAKE PLACE
• Is necessary to establish an environment where
CALL matches the social and interactive learning
• Laptop, wireless, networks, web, create flexible
learning environments where students are free to
study anywhere
