Computer-assisted language learning (CALL) uses computers to aid in language teaching and learning. CALL originated from computer-assisted instruction where computers helped teachers, but CALL is more student-centered with interactive lessons allowing independent learning. CALL has evolved through different periods from behaviorist CALL in the 1950s-1980s, to communicative/cognitive CALL in the 1980s-1990s, to current integrative/explorative CALL utilizing multimedia and the internet. Behaviorist CALL used drill-based repetition, communicative CALL focused on language use over analysis, and current CALL integrates language skills into tasks and projects using multimedia technologies. CALL can be used interactively in the classroom or individually for self-access or distance learning.

CALL Computer-Assisted Language Learning
1. What is CALL? Computer-assisted language learning (CALL) originates from CAI (Computer-Assisted Instruction), where computers were first viewed as an aid for teachers. CALL is more student-centered with the lessons allowing the learners to learn on their own using structured and/or unstructured interactive lessons. ADAPTATION both teachers and students
Typology and periods Behavioristic CALL 1950s-1980s Communicative/Cognitive CALL 1980s-1990s Integrative/ Explorative CALL 1990s-present Multimedia internet
Behaviorist CALL From B.F Skinnerss behaviorist approach that repeated exposure to material was considered to be beneficial or even essential, computers were considered ideal for this aspect of learning as the machines did not bored or impatient 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 is based on the communicative approach that became prominent in the late 1970s and 1980s. In the communicative approach, the focus is on using the language rather than analysis of the language, teaching grammar implicitly. It also allowed for originality and flexibility in student output of language.
Integrative or explorative CALL starting from the 1990s, 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.
Methodology INTERACTIVE LEARNING 1. Teaching with one computer in the class 2. Teaching in the computer network INDIVIDUAL LEARNING 1. Self-access learning 2. Distance learning
It is a tool that helps teachers to facilitate language learning process. CALL can be used to reinforce what has been learned in the classrooms. It can also be used as remedial to help learners with limited language proficiency.

Editor's Notes

  • #5: Because repeated exposure to material was considered to be beneficial or even essential, 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.
