The document discusses various interdisciplinary perspectives related to computer-assisted language learning (CALL). It notes that CALL lacks a clear definition and theoretical framework. Several perspectives are mentioned that can help situate and inform CALL, including applied linguistics, relevant theories from other disciplines, and indicators such as language teaching philosophy and the role of hardware/software. The document also briefly describes a questionnaire and literature review that were conducted to conceptualize CALL.

INTERDISCIPLINARY PERSPECTIVES ALBERTO GARAYALDE BUEY DIEGO SEBASTIN GIL
Introduction Nowadays the concept of CALL is not well defined and its relationship with other fields is not clear. There are different opinions about CALL definition: - Some authors consider it as a sub-domain of Applied Linguistics. - Other authors had made projects that can help to situate CALL in relation to other disciplines and provide pointers towards relevant theoretical and practical resources .
Theoretical framework of CALL There is no a theoretical framework of CALL What practitioners do is search on theories from more established theories that surround CALL . They must take care to notice that those theories are applicable Use of non-CALL theories should only occur if are well articulated and aplicable to the context of call.
How do the interdisciplinary perspectives help to CALL? To identify topics. To prevent CALL succumbing to the latest technological advance.
Relationship between theory and practice Early in the history of CALL a highly structured view of language teaching and language learning provided a straightforward path towards materials development on the computer because the principles behind the theory could be easily matched to the qualities of the machine.
Indicators Language teaching and learning philosophy. Role of the computer. Hardware and software. Role of the teacher (as contributor). Development process. Role of the teacher (as author). Materials developed.
Questionnaire and literature about CALL Finally, CALL has been conceptualized by means of a Questionnaire and information found in literature. There was an internacional CALL survey in 1991 and 1992 sent to 23 different countries. In literature, there are 8 chapters where different topics about CALL are explained, since an historical perspective of CALL to the conceptualization of CALL.
