“CALL” Me Maybe?

Hello my fellow audience,

It is such a great day to talk about an innovative learning as the 12th March is the birthday of the internet. It is hard to deny the need of technology in our lives as it facilitates everything around us. Since the technology started to develop, it affected the field of education as well.  The revolutionary teaching devices shook the whole foreign language world. So, what does “CALL” stand for? CALL is computer-assisted language learning that the teachers design and use in their foreign language classrooms.

Although the rise of CALL may seem to start in 1950’s, it actually occurred way before, in 1930s and mid ‘40s. I’m going to put a timeline on the historical development of CALL from behaviourism to Integrative CALL on this post. Don’t forget to take a look at it!

Thank you for spending time here 🙂
