Computers and Language Learning

• Maddison (1983): technology of education and technology of communication are two sides of the same coin.

• The beneficial advantages of CAL; interactive capability and flexibility

• Nicholls (1995): students didn’t produce many well-formed and complete sentences, and didn’t practice their spoken English in computer-mediated instructions.

• In computer – mediated instruction, students tended to try out a number of guesses rather than discus with their partner (Windeatt, 1986)

• Can CALL effectively deliver explicit instruction on grammar?

machine is able to take on.
