Definition of CALL 1. Computer-assisted language learning (CALL) is an approach which focuses on using computer technology in learning or teaching a foreign language to students (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-assisted_language_learning). 2. CALL is any process in which a learner uses a computer and, as a result, improves his or her language (Beatty, 2003, p. 7). 3. Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) may be defined as the search for and study of applications of the computer in language teaching and learning (Levy, 1997, p.1).
History of CALL * CALL’s origins and development trace back to the 1960’s (Delcloque 2000). Since the early days CALL has developed into a symbiotic relationship between the development of technology and pedagogy. * Warschauer divided the development of CALL into three phases: Behavioristic CALL, Communicative CALL and Integrative CALL (Multimedia and the Internet)
Behavioristic CALL • Behavioristic CALL appeared because of repeated exposure to material was considered to be beneficial or even essential, and computers were considered ideal for this aspect of learning as the machines did not get bored or impatient with learners and the computer could present material to the student as his/her own pace and even adapt the drills to the level of the student.
Communicative CALL • Communicative CALL is based on the communicative approach that became prominent in the late 1970’s and 1980’s. In the communicative approach, the focus is on using the language rather than analysis of the language, teaching grammar implicitly. It also correlates with the arrival of the PC, making computing much widely available resulting in a boom in the development of software for language learning, for example language games.
Integrative CALL • Integrative/explorative CALL, starting from the 1990’s, tries to address these criticisms by integrating the teaching of language skills into tasks or projects to provide direction and coherence. It also coincides with the development of multimedia technology (providing text, graphics, sound and animation) as well as computer-mediated communication.
Types of CALL • CALL programs/materials include : -CALL-specific software: applications designed to develop and facilitate language learning, such as CD-ROMs, web-based interactive language learning exercises/quizzes -Generic software: applications designed for general purposes, such as word-processors (Word), presentation software), and spreadsheet (Excel), that can be used to support language learning -Web-based learning programs: online dictionaries, online encyclopedias, online concordancers, news/magazine sites, e-texts, web-quests, web publishing, blog, wiki, etc. -Computer-mediated communication (CMC) programs: synchronous - online chat; asynchronous - email, discussion forum, message board
Activities in CALL • - multiple-choice & true/false quizzes • - gap-filling exercise/cloze • - matching • - re-ordering/sequencing • - crossword puzzles • - games • - simulations • - writing & word-processing • - concordancing • - web quests/searching • - web publishing • - online communication (synchronous and asynchronous)
What will you do in the class based on the information? * I will use a program to teach procedure texts such as cooking academy. * I will use a funny video to teach spoof texts. * I will use movie trailer to teach review text. * I will use a video which is a segment of a movie to teach certain expressions.
