    This document discusses Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) and its key concepts and principles. CALL is defined as using computers to improve language learning, and encompasses issues of materials design, technologies, and instructional methods. Different types of CALL programs are identified, including CALL-specific software, generic software, web-based learning programs, and computer-mediated communication. Effective CALL principles include learner-centeredness, meaningful purpose, comprehensive input, stimulation, multiple modalities, and interaction. Individual exercises are suggested to find examples of different types of CALL programs.

    Meeting #3 Concepts and Principles of ICT Use in

    Language Teaching and Learning (CALL)



    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)

    CALL can also be defined as any process in which a learner
    uses a computer and, as a result, improves his or her
    language (Beatty, 2003).

    CALL has come to encompass issues of materials design,
    technologies, pedagogical theories and modes of
    instruction. Materials for CALL can include those which are
    purpose-made for language learning and those which
    adapt existing computer-based materials, video and other
    materials (Beatty, 2003).

    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 (PowerPoint), and
    spreadsheet (Excel), that can be used to support
    language learning
    Web-based learning programs: online dictionaries,
    online encyclopedias, online 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

    communication
    (Chen, 2012)

    student/learner-centeredness (to promote
    learner autonomy)
    meaningful purpose
    comprehensive input
    sufficient level of stimulation (cognitively and
    affectively)
    multiple modalities (to support various
    learning styles and strategies)
    high level of interaction (human-machine and
    human-human)
