This document discusses computer-assisted language learning (CALL) and task-based language learning (TBLL). It notes that CALL emerged as an important language teaching tool in the 1990s as personal computers became more prevalent. CALL allows for individualized learning, global communication practice via the internet, and the exploration of simulated environments. The document reviews research comparing computer-enhanced language classes to traditional classes, as well as comparing computer use to other technologies like audio tapes. Motivation is also discussed as an important theme in CALL, as computers can improve learner motivation and listening skills. Specific skills like speaking, writing, and composition are explored in relation to how computers enhance the language learning process.

4. Background:
• Teaching change was concerned in 1980and
1990 .
• Mainframe computer were task master .
• Later on we got smaller, faster and more
helpful Computers
• Multimedia emerged as an important tool in
21st century
• CALL is helpful in exploring simulated and
building presentation
6. Research: Comparative studies
1. A Significant interest of early
CALL studies was the
comparison of Computer-
enhanced classes with
traditional or conventional
classes.
2. For ex: Possible problems of
researchers who compares
class contacting ‘key pals’
using email to conventional
letter writing class.
3. Warschauer-avoids-
comparing- informal online
writing with face-to-face
classroom discussion.
1. Another area of interest is
comparing Computer use with
other technologies.
2. For ex: Computer based
listening activities and audio-
taped language materials in
‘Traditional’ language lab.
3. In Audio lab, student spent 50
% more time where as
Computer assisted students
spent less time.
7. Motivation
• Motivation has been
a pervasive theme in
CALL.
• Jakobsdottir and
Hooper found- when
computers ‘read’ a
text aloud, learner’s
listening skills and
motivation
improves.
