- 4. CALL An Introduction CALL is influencedby traditional language teaching and learning. Although they have different method and approach, but the goal is same; to develop the learners’ abilities as the same as native speakers. CALL has come to encompass issues of materials, designs, technologies, pedagogical theories, and modes of instruction. 4
- 5. “ CALL is aprocess in which; a learner use a computer and, as a result, improves his or her language. – Beatty, 2003 5
- 6. 6 Phases of CALL Computersbeing used for language learning since 1960’s. There are three phases of CALL. Such as ▹ Behaviorist CALL ▹ Communicative CALL ▹ Integrative CALL
- 7. Phases of CALL BehavioristCALL (1960 - 1970) ▹ The first form of CALL ▹ Repetitive language drills ▹ Based on the behaviorist language model ▹ First designed and implemented in the era of PLATO System ▹ Mainly used for drills and tests. CommunicativeCALL (1970 – 1980) ▹ Reaction to the behaviorist approach to language learning ▹ Focused more on using forms ▹ Corresponds to cognitive theories ▹ Grammar should be tought implicitly Integrative CALL (1980 – Present) ▹ The most recent stage of CALL ▹ Multimedia- networked computers ▹ Teachers shifted from cognitive view of communicative language teaching to socio-cognitive view ▹ Criticized communitive CALL as disconnected fashion 7

Advantages ▹ Appropiate learningstyle ▹ Effective use of learning time ▹ Error analysis ▹ Guided and repetitive practice ▹ Being able to get materials that would not be reached in real life Advantages and Disadvantages of CALL Disadvantages ▹ Economical factors ▹ Less-handy equipment ▹ Lack of trained teachers ▹ The student must be motivated and disciplined to complete a learning program on his own 11
- 12. 12 The Future ofCALL Human Language Technologies (HLT) is likely to make an increasing impact on CALL. Concretely, this impact comes from the work on: ▹ Natural Language Processing ▹ Machine Translator ▹ Corpus Linguistics ▹ Speech Technology
- 13. 13 Conclusion The history ofComputer Assisted Language Learning suggests that the computer can serve a variety of uses for language teaching and learning. It can be a tutor which offers language drills or skill practice; a stimulus for discussion and interaction; or a tool for writing and researching. With the advent of the internet, it can also be a medium of global communication and a source of limitless authentic materials.
