Technology is only a tool; an enabling tool for

teaching/learning

Technology is used to facilitate teaching/learning process

Technology is not a method

Technology must be used appropriately in termsof purpose, setting, and benefits

CALL research findings

Slow learners benefit more than fast learners when

using CALL

Time spent to master specific language aspects is less CALL is meaningful when materials/contents are

related to existing syllabus or curriculum in specific

context

CALL is meaningful when it is designed and delivered

and managed by the teacher of the course



16/17
