Computer
Assisted Language Learning
Last week Mr. Rudi explained about CALL. Computer
Assisted Language Learning (CALL) is often perceived, somewhat narrowly, as an
approach to language teaching and learning in which the computer is used as an
aid to the presentation, reinforcement and assessment of material to be
learned, usually including a substantial interactive element.
In the 1980s
CALL moved away from its initial leanings towards behaviorism and
drill-and-practice, widening its scope to embrace the communicative approach
and a range of new technologies. CALL now includes highly interactive and
communicative support for listening, speaking, reading and writing. Computer
Assisted Language Learning (CALL) may be defined as "the search for and
study of applications of the computer in language teaching and learning".
CALL programs/materials include:
·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).
·Web-based
learning programs: online dictionaries, online
encyclopedias, e-texts, web-quests, web publishing, blog, wiki, etc.
·Computer-mediated
communication (CMC) programs: synchronous - online chat;
asynchronous - email, discussion forum, message board.
Types of CALL activities
are multiple-choice & true/false quizzes, gap-filling exercise/cloze, matching, re-ordering/sequencing, crossword puzzles, games, etc. Principles of using and designing
CALL programs in language learning and teaching are 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).
In the one of
the links that Mr. Rudi gave, it also explained about computer.
·
Computer as
tutor for language drills or skill practice
·
Computer as a
tool for writing, presenting, and researching
·
Computer as a
medium of global communication
How computers can be used in the language class
1) Teaching with one computer in
the class
- Delivery of content (PowerPoint,
word-processor, Webpages, etc.
- Classroom activities/discussions mediated by the computer
- Interactive whiteboard
2) Teaching in the computer
network room (network-based language teaching)
- task-based group work /activities
- computer-mediated communication (CMC): asynchronous/synchronous
- tandem learning
3) Self-access learning
(independent learning)
- drills and exercises
- word processing
- resource
searching
4) Distance learning (i.e.
individual learners working by themselves, at a place and time of their
choice and, to some extent, at a pace and in an order also chosen by
themselves.)
- delivering online course content
- CMC activities: email, discussion forum, chat rooms
- tandem learning
- community building

ICT
Tools, Roles and Application
ICT
ICT is a valuable tool to
enhance teaching and learning. For teachers ICT is a professional resource, a
mode of classroom delivery, and a source of valid and valuable text types. For
students, ICT provides opportunities to communicate more effectively and to
develop literacy skills including skills in critical literacy. It is a valuable
tool for researching, composing and responding, and viewing and representing in
English.
ICT for education
Worldwide research has shown
that ICT can lead to improved student learning and better teaching methods. ICT
have some advantages and disadvantages.
The
advantages of ICT
tools for education
:
|
· Through ICT,
images can easily be used in teaching and improving the retentive memory of
students.
|
|
|
· Through ICT,
teachers can easily explain complex instructions and ensure students'
comprehension.
|
|
|
· Through ICT,
teachers are able to create interactive classes and make the lessons more
enjoyable, which could improve student attendance and concentration.
|
There are
also disadvantages of ICT tools for education :
|
·
Setting up the
devices can be very troublesome.
|
|
|
·
Too expensive
to afford.
|
|
|
·
Hard for
teachers to use with a lack of experience using ICT tools.

Role of ICT in education
In the twelfth plan, The
Planning Commission has stressed that ICT tools must be used for significantly
improving the educational services and for streamlining the admission process.
Says Dr Veera Gupta, Secretary, Central Board of Secondary Education, “ICT is
integral to the teaching learning process. In an age where massive expansion of
education is required, we cannot do without the use of technology. ICT is vital
for dissemination of knowledge, for evaluation and for keeping data and
records. The role of ICT is multi faceted and it has to be exploited to the
maximum potential.”
The draft of 12th five year
plan document states, “Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) should
be harnessed to enrich teaching-learning experience, to extend and diversify
delivery, improve research quality and collaboration by making knowledge and
information widely available, and ensure effective governance both at the
institutional and systemic level.” The draft says that student services needs
to be significantly improved and admissions should be streamlined.
Online tools for teaching and learning
Louisa
Mellor reveals ten free online tools that might change your teaching for the
better. One of the tools is Prezi. A presentation tool, Prezi provides
users with a large canvas upon which to pin text slides, video clips and
images. Prezi's selling point is its creation of a spatial narrative, meaning
users can flow around presentation elements in the same non-linear way one
might use an iPad: scrolling, enlarging, sliding and zooming in while always
being able to return to the wider context. Prezi is a sure-fire way to cure
your classroom of PowerPoint fatigue. The finished product is leaps and bounds
ahead of PowerPoint in terms of style, engaging the attention of pupils who
groan with over-familiarity at seeing cheesy slide transitions on the
whiteboard. it's one example of a free on line tool where novelty adds value.
One
weakness is that Prezi doesn't yet support a master account to create student
logins, so each pupil will need to apply for a separate EDU Enjoy account. lf
your school allocates pupil email addresses (only educational addresses are
accepted), this should be an easy hurdle to vault. If not, it still remains
useful for teacher-led presentations.
- Ideas for use: Whenever you or your pupils would use Microsoft PowerPoint, Prezi provides a more dynamic, engaging and visually attractive option. Innovative Science and Maths teachers of all key stages are already using Prezi to explain key concepts to pupils around the world.
- Alternative: Ahead.com is a similar tool that's particularly useful for showcasing student portfolios as well as making presentations. Student projects are granted free educational licences.
From the
explanation above, the conclusion is ICT is very useful for education. It makes
education better and easier for teacher. Eventhough there are some disadvantages,
but ICT can help teacher in teaching and assessment.

Multimedia means that computer information can be represented through audio, video, and animation in addition to traditional media (i.e., text, graphics drawings, images).
Multimedia can
be accessed through computers or electronic devices and integrates the various
forms together. One example of multimedia would be combining a website with
video, audio, or text images. A Multimedia Application
is an application
which uses a collection of multiple media sources e.g. text, graphics, images,
sound/audio, animation and/or video.
Hypermedia can be considered as one of the multimedia applications.
The differences between hypertext and hypermedia. Hypertext
is also called non-sequential writing. In hypertext, readers are free to
navigate information as a linked network of nodes. It is a DBMS
that lets you connect screens of information using associative links. It is a text with pointers to other text. Hypermedia is a superset of hypertext. Hypermedia documents contain
links not only to other pieces of text, but also to other forms of media -
sounds, images, and movies.
Hypermedia is a combination between hypertext and multimedia.
Internet is a global system of
interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet Protocol Suite
(TCP/IP) to serve billions of users worldwide. Internet is used by people nowadays for comunication, for studying, for
bussiness and some of applications. One of example of using Internet for
business is e commerce. Electronik commerce is online
process of developing, marketing, selling, delivering, servicing and paying for
products and services through the use
of Internet.
Some example of electronic banking are online banking, online office
suites, shopping cart software,
teleconferencing, electronic tickets. HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) is the predominant markup language for web pages. A website will not be informative, presentable
and cannot be recognized without
html.
