Computer – assisted Language Learning (CALL)

2500 students attend our language courses every year.They spend about 25000 academic hours in training center to improve their language skills.

Our Solution – Computer –assisted language learning.

The latest software provides a total experience in language skills (Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing), specific language activities (Vocabulary and Grammar).

Our Goal of CALL

• to reduce the cost of language courses

• making courses content available anytime (everywhere)

• update courseware faster and easier

- Individualization of learning :

1) students can work on content according to their proficiency level and own preferences

2) teachers can create lesson for specific students

- Evaluation tools, that provide immediate feedback (the most important)

- A variety of learning environments ( integration of graphics, audio, video, voice recording and speech recognition)

CALL provides the ideal features, including :

Now the speech recognition software makes CALL more traditional face-to-face interaction.

Software with speech recognition feature – “virtual” flight.

Simulations are one type of computer-based activity, that allows students to be immersed and activity involved in the environment that is not otherwise accessible.

Software with simulation feature – QRH for B-767

New ICAO requirements for pilots and ATC controllers :

In 2008 every pilot certified for international flights shall speak English fluently.

Two problems for non-native English speaking countries:

1. To learn English (common and aviation)

2. To keep English

SOLUTION:

Non-stop English learning and keeping process.

What’s in the future:

The Concept of Non-stop English learning and keeping process:

- Computer-Adaptive Testing

- Designing an individual CALL course

- Periodical teacher’s consulting

- Periodical control an individual’s level of achievement

- An immediate feed-back and redesigning individual course
