CALL refers to using computers to assist language learning. It involves a student, teacher, and computer. The teacher's role is to instruct students on computer use, assess progress, supervise, manage resources, and provide information. Students are autonomous but teachers provide guidance. The computer acts as a tutor by providing feedback, as a resource for skills practice, and as a tool to motivate students and provide autonomy.
