21. CALL Research
Attitudinal Studies Comparative Studies

22. CALL vs non-CALL Comparisons

23. The question today is no longer
“if technology should be used for language teaching”
but rather
“how it can be best utilized for teaching”

24. Move away from
technology vs
non- technology
comparisons
Focus on specific features of
technology which might have
an impact on learning

25. Normalization is the stage when a
technology is invisible, hardly even
recognized as a technology, taken
for granted in everyday life.

26. According to the Korea IT Times (Thursday, April 1st, 2010,
Ryan Schuster), “During the second decade of the new
millennium, robots are expected to replace English-
speaking teachers in Korea. In other words by 2018, the
25,000 estimated English teachers will be out of work”!!!
“Computers will not replace teachers. However,
teachers who use computers will replace teachers
who don’t”!!! (Ray Clifford, 1983)
