CALL (computer-assisted language learning) has been shown to improve language learning outcomes compared to non-computer methods. Studies have found that CALL stimulates conversation skills and can effectively deliver explicit grammar instruction through self-access programs. It is recommended that grammar be taught alongside communicative skills using CALL, as it provides an appropriate solution for the time-consuming nature of grammar instruction. The implementation of CALL in language learning leads to significant improvements in language skills and knowledge by taking individual differences into account and promoting affective and cognitive learning factors. While teachers present material directly, CALL allows for interactivity, ease of learning, and a visual approach to supplement traditional classroom instruction.
Content-Focused Language Instruction - Handout 2014Brent Jones
Content-focused language teaching approaches such as Content-Based Instruction (CBI) and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) continue to gain both recognition and credibility. In this workshop, participants will be introduced to both the theory and practice of such approaches, with special emphasis on the affective learning domain. After looking at the various benefits and challenges of a content-focuses approach, the presenter will introduce an example of a theme-based CBI program that is currently being used in a tertiary-level English program for management course students in Japan. The aim here is to highlight for participants each step in the instructional design process as well as some of the various considerations at both the macro (curriculum) and micro (task) levels. Participants will then be challenged to consider the motivational merits of implementing a content-focused approach in their own teaching contexts, and be presented with a list of suggested readings for further exploration.
The Effects of Communicative Language Teaching approach (CLT) on Grammar Teac...AJSERJournal
Grammar Translation Method or GTM, which greatly supports students for grammar-based written tests,
is the priority way of grammar teaching in Vietnam. That’s why many students are gradually lacking communication
abilities. In the light of Communicative Language Teaching approach or CLT, grammar is now taught in more
interesting ways. Lately, many studies have found that teaching and learning grammar in communicative contexts
helps students gain better level of language proficiency especially more fluent and accurate speaking skill. Therefore,
this paper aims to evaluate the impact of CLT in grammar instruction for first year English majored students at Dong
Nai Technology University. In addition, how students respond to the lessons instructed by CLT method is also fully
described in the paper. The results show that CLT approach brings many benefits for EFL students. Moreover, students
gain strong motivation and positive attitude through the lessons with CLT

Richards & Rodgers:
A task is an activity or goal that is carried out using Language.
to modify and restructure interaction until mutual comprehension is reached are what enable learners to move forward in their interlanguage development.
Although the learners were not taught communication strategies as part of the project, they were actively taught strategies in the part of the course that focused on the direct teaching of speaking.
Proficiency Development through a Hybrid Course with e-Tandems Gabriel Guillén
E-tandems remains peripheral to the foreign language curriculum (O’Dowd, 2010, 2013), in spite of the proliferation of Language Learning Social Networks and research findings showing learners’ linguistic progress in tandem learning. Similarly, recent studies have shown that students taking hybrid courses reach comparable levels of oral proficiency to those taking traditional courses (Blake, 2008; Rubio, 2012). This study measures linguistic development through a 10 week hybrid course of intermediate Spanish with an e-tandem component, in contrast with a traditional Spanish course. Results showed similar overall proficiency development for both groups and a greater improvement in sentence mastery for hybrid students.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

1. A Summary of CALL and its ImplementationIn Teaching and Learning Process By Group V
2. Why is Call Effective in Language Learning Achievement?According to some studies, CALL has revealed that there are significant differences in favour of computers between the language learning achievement attained by students from CALL groups and non-computers ones CALL VS Non-Computer Groups Groups
3. Recent studies on CALL :A Matter of the effectivenessFrom the illustration, we can see that the impact of computers – mediated clearly stimulate the students to imrpove conversation skill. Computer - Mediated Stimulate Students Outcome : Coversation Skill Increased
4. The other studies on call :Appropriateness – orientedA study conducted by Hartoyo (1998) reveals that a self access of CALL program is considered to be effective in delivering explicit grammar instruction Computer – Assisted Of Self - Access Outcome : Significant Result of Improvement Grammar Lesson Explicitly
5. The findings of Hartoyo’s (1998) study on computer – mediated language learning, and the analysis of Individual differences, then it can be recommended that :1) Grammar should be taught along with communicative skill2) Teaching grammar is time – consuming. To cope this dilemma a self – access CALL program may be an appropriate and promising solution3) The Consideration of CALL in developing language learning needs some points in designing4) A far as a self – access of CALL program is concerned, student’s individual differences variables should also be taken into consideration
6. The Implementation of CALL in Language in Language Learning ProcessHypothesis : The Implementation of CALL in Language learning Process takes a very Significant result in developing student’s language skills and theory of language, and also promotes some learning factors : Affective and Cognitive OUTCOME : There are a lot of significant result in achieving language skill and improving student’s knowledge LANGUAGE COMPETENCE Demand to wards development in Language Teaching CALL LEARNER’S VARIABLES THE CONTENT : Designing Model
7. TEACHER’S ROLES VS CALL ROLES in Language Learning Process TEACHER’S ROLES CALL ROLES 1. Presenting the material directly 1. A matter of Interactivity 2. Existing in the classroom only 2. Ease of learning process 3. Providing the material in 3. Appropriateness - oriented sequence 4. Explaining takes long-time 4. Significance of the effectiveness 5. Book – minded and verbal 5. Visualisation Approach communicationNote : As a teacher is a human being and CALL is a system of application method, they have different ways in language learning process. CALL provides many learning variations as it applies technology – used to support the process. Differently, teachers leads all kind of learning activities directly as the process
