Historical Development of CALL

 Computer-assisted language learning (CALL) was the expression agreed upon at the 1983 TESOL convention in a meeting of all interested participants. This term is widely used to refer to 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).

    Call has improved gradually. In the Behavioristic CALL, the stimulus-response-feedback model is dominant. In Communicative Call, communicative approaches is applied. The last one; in the Integrative Call, multimedia and the electronic communication are the keys for the approach.
