CALL Environment: Physical environment: Hardware
ComputerLabs full of DesktopPC,
Software in CD-ROMs:Grammar exercises &Practice of Phonetics
Interaction only with the computer
Improvement:Access to Information
Introduction (III)
Adaptation to CALL Use of Computer-based
Tools Printed material
Digitized Activities
Drill and practice tutorials Repetition & simulation
Delivery of contents Not very active use
for communicationin Writing & Speaking
Improvement:Self-assessment
Computers = an optional tool to assist the language learning processResult: No real communication, students work in isolation
