Computer Assisted Language Learning 💻

Before the adoption of Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL), language education primarily relied on traditional teaching methods and materials. 📒🏫

• Textbooks and Printed Materials
• Audiotapes and Language Labs

one of the earliest instances of Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) is considered to be the PLATO (Programmed Logic for Automated Teaching Operations) Project.

While PLATO was not exclusively focused on language learning, it paved the way for the development of interactive and computer-assisted instructional methods. and laid the groundwork for the development of Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL).

📽 CALL STAGES 📽

The integration of technology in language learning continues to evolve, offering diverse opportunities for learners to engage with languages in a more interactive, personalized, and effective manner. As technology advances, CALL is likely to play an increasingly significant role in language education.
