Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) uses computers as a medium to facilitate language learning. Computers are interactive tools that can act as teachers or tutors, providing flexible instruction. However, some studies found that computer-mediated instruction did not encourage students to produce complete sentences or practice speaking. While computers offer advantages like allowing independent learning at one's own pace, they also have disadvantages such as being less personal than human teachers and potentially causing eye strain.

3. Maddison (1983): technology of education and technology of communication are two sides of the same coin.The beneficial advantages of CAL; interactive capability and flexibilityNicholls (1995): students didn’t produce many well-formed and complete sentences, and didn’t practice their spoken English in computer-mediated instructions.In computer – mediated instruction, students tended to try out a number of guesses rather than discus with their partner (Windeatt, 1986)Can CALL effectively deliver explicit instruction on grammar?Computers and Language Learning

4. Issues Regarding the Change of Methods of Language Teaching

5. - CAL: the learning involving the utilization of the computer - CALL: means CAL which is implemented to language.CAL and CALL

6. CALL: Underlying Consideration Ahmad, et al, (1985:4): the computer is flexible.Hiltzand Turrof (1985) and Hiltz (1994): the flexibility supports collaborative learning among students. Computer based language instruction is ability to interact with learners. The more powerful the technology becomes, the more ‘human’ functions the machine is able to take on.

7. Advantages of CALLDevelop a non-sequential reading habit.

8. Offer freedom for users to choose any topic available. Can be used in pairs.

9. Allow the students to determine what particular topics and how long he wants to learn.
