HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF CALL

Hello everyone!!! 😊😊😊This post is about technology integration into language learning and teaching. Specifically, we are going to talk about CALL. Briefly, CALL refers to computer-assisted language learning. At the bottom of the post, you will see the timeline which I created about the historical development of CALL.🔻🔻🔻

• 1960s&1970s: Behaviouristic CALL: Stimulus-Response-Feedback and habit formation were the key concepts. The Audiolingual method was used in language teaching and learning.
• 1970s&1980s: Communicative CALL:  Communicative use of language was the main focus. Students were expected to generate real utterances. Computers were used to stimulate the discussion. Also, computers were seen as tutors, tools, and stimuli.
• 21st Century: Integrative CALL, MID-1990s:  Constructing and sharing knowledge played crucial roles in language learning and teaching. Task-based, content-based approaches were used in language teaching. People began to use desktop computers and the internet spread around the world.
