So, what is CALL? (Week 1)

CALL, is not the I call you, you call me kind of call.
It stands for Computer Assisted Language Learning.

What is that you asked?
CALL is just the acronym. We use CALL to learn language with assistance of a computer. Programs and soft-wares as well websites(Modern day)used to help in the learning of language can also be considered as CALL.

As Brown (1988:6) says:
"Learning a foreign language can enrich the education of every pupil socially and intellectually and be vocationally relevant. The new technology should form an integral part of a modern language department's overall teaching strategy."
