Before taking CALL courses, many students had misconceptions about what CALL involved or lacked clarity on the topic. Some thought it focused solely on grammar/vocabulary programs [Andrew] or using the internet as a teaching tool [Afiwa]. Others found CALL nebulous [Heidi] or were afraid of technology [Kamila]. Some had limited experience using videos or CDs in teaching but didn't consider it true CALL [Karen]. A few were unsure of its usefulness or didn't see how it fit with their plans [Celia, Robin]. Overall, many entered CALL courses without a clear understanding of what it encompassed.
