The document summarizes the three phases of computer-assisted language learning (CALL): behavioristic CALL from the 1950s-1970s focused on drill and practice; communicative CALL of the 1970s-1980s emphasized authentic communication; and integrative CALL incorporates multimedia and the internet for global communication and access to authentic materials. The conclusion states that technology alone will not improve language learning, but it can enrich education when used to support good pedagogy.

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.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Abstract
Until quite recently, computer-assisted language
learning (CALL) was a topic of relevance mostly to
those with a special interest in that area
3. Three phases of CALL
Though CALL has developed gradually over the last
30 years, this development can be categorized in
terms of three somewhat distinct phases
as behavioristic CALL,communicative CALL,
and integrative CALL.
4. Behavioristic CALL
The first phase of CALL, conceived in the 1950s and
implemented in the 1960s and '70s, was based on the then-
dominant behaviorist theories of learning. Programs of this
phase entailed repetitive language drills and can be referred
to as "drill and practice" (or, more pejoratively, as "drill and
kill").
5. The computer serves as a vehicle for delivering instructional materials
to the student.
Explains in part the fact that CALL drills are still used today. Briefly
put, that rationale is as follows:
Repeated exposure to the same material is beneficial or even
essential to learning
A computer is ideal for carrying out repeated drills, since the machine
does not get bored with presenting the same material and since it can
provide immediate non-judgmental feedback
A computer can present such material on an individualized basis,
allowing students to proceed at their own pace and freeing up class
time for other activities
6. Communicative CALL
The second phase of CALL was based on the communicative approach to teaching
which became prominent in the 1970s and 80s. Proponents of this approach felt that the
drill and practice programs of the previous decade did not allow enough authentic
communication to be of much value.
According to Underwood, communicative CALL:
focuses more on using forms rather than on the forms themselves;
teaches grammar implicitly rather than explicitly;
allows and encourages students to generate original utterances rather than just
manipulate prefabricated language;
does not judge and evaluate everything the students nor reward them with
congratulatory messages, lights, or bells;
avoids telling students they are wrong and is flexible to a variety of student responses;
uses the target language exclusively and creates an environment in which using the
target language feels natural, both on and off the screen; and
will never try to do anything that a book can do just as well.
7. Steps toward integrative CALL: multimedia
Integrative approaches to CALL are based on two important
technological developments of the last decade - multimedia
computers and the Internet. Multimedia technology - exemplified
today by the CD-ROM - allows a variety of media (text, graphics,
sound, animation, and video) to be accessed on a single machine.
8. Steps toward integrative CALL: the
Internet
Computer Mediated Communication (CMC), which has existed in
primitive form since the 1960s but has only became wide-spread in
the last five years, is probably the single computer application to date
with the greatest impact on language teaching.
Computer Mediated Communication allows users to share not only
brief messages, but also lengthy (formatted or unformatted)
documents - thus facilitating collaborative writing - and also graphics,
sounds, and video.
Using the World Wide Web (WWW), students can search through
millions of files around the world within minutes to locate and access
authentic materials (e.g. newspaper and magazine articles, radio
broadcasts, short videos, movie reviews, book excerpts) exactly
tailored to their own personal interests.
9. Conclusion
The history of CALL suggests that the computer can serve a variety
of uses for language teaching. It can be a tutor which offers language
drills or skill practice; a stimulus for discussion and interaction; or a
tool for writing and research. With the advent of the Internet, it can
also be a medium of global communication and a source of limitless
authentic materials.
As with the audio language lab "revolution" of 40 years ago, those
who expect to get magnificent results simply from the purchase of
expensive and elaborate systems will likely be disappointed. But
those who put computer technology to use in the service of good
pedagogy will undoubtedly find ways to enrich their educational
program and the learning opportunities of their students.
