2. Based on the view of the financial aspect, CALL program requires a lot of cost. Since its implementation, CALL must be purchased with an expensive price, and then designing a program, and perform maintenance on the computer itself regularly.
3. ConclusionIn conclusion, the CALL program is helping teachers and students in teaching and learning in the classroom, as the advantages and disadvantages of CALL programs were returned to the views of each individual. Because, we cannot deny that the future is something that will be an experience growth in all sectors or we called as “globalization”. Computer technology or even a program used as a medium of learning they also makes important contributions in education.<br />
![The Advantages and Disadvantages of CALL (Computer -Assisted Language Learning)<br />,[object Object], The advances in technology lately is really helping teachers and students in the learning process. Students not only learn in the conventional situation which is in face-to-face and directly with teachers and use textbooks as teaching materials in schools. Now, students can use computers as teaching media contains tutorials and instructions for using in language learning.<br />Computers can be equated with the role of the teacher but, it does not intend to completely replace the role of the teacher in the class. For example, in the CALL computer program it can serve as guides, appraisers and can also can be used as the source of the lessons material being learned.<br />quot;
Acting as a tutor, however, is only one of the computer's possible roles. The computer can be a partner for the learner to play educational games with, or, less glamorously, it can be a very efficient reference book. Or it can be used to generate examples, to illustrate certain operations, or to simulate conversation.quot;
(Kenning, et al, 1984).<br />In the other statement of Ahmad, et al (1985) said that:<br />quot;
It may communicate with the student visually by displaying text, graphics (diagram, graph, line drawings) or video images on a screen; it may also present sound, in the form of speech, music or other audio putput...quot;
<br />In addition, it is assumed also that the computer has a greater ability than other media, which can encourage students to learn the language.<br />Sussex, Cumming & Cropp (1994a) argues that computer-based multimedia as a tool of language, able to motivate students, flexible and provocative.<br />,[object Object],The CAL program refers to the learning involving the utilization of the computer, usually by means of an interactive –computer system (hypertext/multimedia system e.g. GUIDE 3.1, Toolbook, Hypercard) in which students and the computer can interact each other, and in which the students are given a freedom to choose any topic of information and even, to become a trouble- shooter of their own problems.<br />Meanwhile, CALL means CAL which is implemented to language. In this point, the utilization of the computer is primarily directed to make provision to a language learning tutorial program. (Adapted from Hartoyo,M.A., Ph.D, Individual Differences in Computer-Assisted Language Learning, 2008:21)<br />Application of learning using CALL programs have benefits for both users (students) and designers (teachers). Here are some advantages and disadvantages of CALL programs, are: <br />1. The Advantages of CALL program<br />Since language learning; read is a particular concern, CALL encourage students to develop a reading habit that is not systematic and not coherent (non sequential). CALL expected to be a student's motivation to be able to have their own decisions in developing a selective and critical reading, so that these habits can help them in the scanning the information (topics) based on their interests and desires. The result is reading becomes interesting and fun activity.<br />CALL program gives users the flexibility and freedom in choosing topics in the information provided in the list. In the table of contents there are several options that students can choose topics according to their wishes by means of quot;
clickingquot;
on the box that has been available. For example; in this package tutorial CALL, the material includes English sentences elaborated in some more specific topics indicated the table of contents. If students do not want to learn all the topics on the list, then students can quot;
clickquot;
part that wants to learn. For example, students just want to learn nouns only, then students are required to click it. Then, it will bring up the topic of nouns which display information nouns on the count-nouns, non-count nouns, typical non-count nouns. If students want to learn more details about the sub-topics of the noun, then the student must click the quot;
nextquot;
button.<br />Because the CALL program can be used in pairs, then this allows students to explore each other information that they do not yet know. This program helps address the problem by considering the skills which must be mastered, because this program can be used in a broad context.<br />CALL program has other advantages is, flexibility in time that allows students to minimize the time in terms of studying the topic to be learned. For example, when one student sick and unable to come to class then he will easily learn the lessons left behind by using the CALL program. The program is also designed for all walks of sttudents' level at either a fast or too slow in grasping the lesson, they will equally be able to use these programs individually.<br />quot;
And its possible in a number of significant ways. It often happens that students cannot attend a class because of illness, timetable clashes, and other problems. This present no difficulty for the computer. Provided a computer is available, the student can come at any time, and spend as long as is needed to gain full benefit from the material. It can accommodate different speed s of learning, or alternatively, limits can be imposed on the time available for answering questions, which is valuable when it is used for testing purposes.quot;
(Ahmad, et, al, 1985)<br />2. The Disadvantages of CALL Program<br />According to its efficiently, CALL programs are not efficient enough because of the personal computer in the form can not be carried because of their large size with a screen monitor and the CPU must be operated.<br />quot;
Compared with quot;
traditionalquot;
books, the 'elektronic' book -the CAL program- is considered to to be much less handy. it is much different from traditional books that are small enough to be carried around and studied wherever and whenever students wish, on a train, at home, in the middle of the night, or in a dentist's waiting room. quot;
(Ansel, et al, 1992)<br />At that time, the computer only such a form of quot;
Personal Computerquot;
, but now the computer has become very efficient with a quot;
laptop, net book, tablet, even our mobile phone '. So, it becomes a suggestion that when the first CALL program is very inefficient because of the existence of a computer that is still very expensive and not easy to carry, now we don't have any problem with the program. It can be install in our near technologies latest. <br />,[object Object]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/theadvantagesanddisadvantagesofcall-110706081815-phpapp02/85/The-advantages-and-disadvantages-of-call-1-320.jpg)
