Kak Hani and Kiki presented this week's topic and as the title states, they introduced the classroom to Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI) and Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL). Besides that, they also presented a brief history on CAI and CALL and also the types of programmes that can be used in order to fuloly utilise CAI and CALL.
As they presented, I made a short summary in my head about what CAI and CALL really is. Basically, it's how instructors as well as learners can utilise computer programmes and the Internet in order to assist in their learning and instruction. More specifically in this subject, to assist in the learning/acquisition of a certain language. For example, using blogs to help students learn on their own, or something like that.
So, after their presentation I decided to Google some activities that were available online for students as well as teachers. There are so many I didn't know which one to choose! Just goes to show that CALL is a useful tool in the classroom and A LOT of people are making good use of it. Are you?
