Week 3 - CALL


CALL - Computer Assisted language learning programs are very collaborative and motivational. 

One good thing about using CALL is that students can learn at their own pace using the learning strategies they find more suitable. Also, using CALL might grant the students with the ability to develop autonomous learning skills.  

On the other hand, it is sometimes impossible for the teacher to adapt the content of the softwares to the students' needs.  

It is common sense that computers bring innovation to ESL classes. There are excellent teaching tools to develop the four communicative skills and enhance language acquisition. However, it is still upon the teacher the role of providing innovative and resourceful opportunities enhance students' learning.
