1. What is CALL?
the area of technology and second language teaching and learning despite the fact that revisions for the term are suggested regularly (Chapelle, 2001, p. 3)
the search for and study of applications of the computer in language teaching and learning (Levy, 1997, p.1)

1. What is CALL?
any process in which a learner uses a
computer and, as a result, improves his or
her language (Beatty, 2003, p. 7)
issues of materials design, technologies,
pedagogical theories and modes of
instruction (Beatty, 2003, pp. 7-8)
