This document discusses themes related to applying information and communications technology (ICT) to English language teaching. It outlines three phases of computer-assisted language learning (CALL): behavioral CALL, which uses drills and repetition; communicative CALL, which focuses on communication over forms; and integrative CALL, which incorporates multimedia like audio and video. ICT encompasses computing, connectivity, content, and human capacity. Together ICT makes up around 6.6% of the global GDP and is embedded in economic and service systems.

2. PREVIEW
The following slides are made with the only purpose of
providing information about the Computer Assisted
Language Learning and Information and Communications
Technology.

3. THREE PHASES OF CALL
 BEHAVIORISTIC CALL
 COMMUNICATIVE CALL
 INTEGRATIVE CALL

4. BEHAVIORISTIC CALL
 Repeated exposure to the same material is
beneficial or even essential to learning
 A computer is ideal for carrying out repeated
drills, since the machine does not get bored with
presenting the same material and since it can
provide immediate non-judgmental feedback
 A computer can present such material on an
individualized basis, allowing students to
proceed at their own pace and freeing up class
time for other activities

5. COMMUNICATIVE CALL
 focuses more on using forms rather than on the forms
themselves;
 teaches grammar implicitly rather than explicitly;
 allows and encourages students to generate original
utterances rather than just manipulate prefabricated
language;
 does not judge and evaluate everything the students nor
reward them with congratulatory messages, lights, or bells;
 avoids telling students they are wrong and is flexible to a
variety of student responses;
 uses the target language exclusively and creates an
environment in which using the target language feels natural,
both on and off the screen;
 ill never try to do anything that a book can do just as well.

6. INTEGRATIVE CALL
 MULTIMEDIA:
 Multimedia technology - exemplified today by the CD-ROM - allows
a variety of media (text, graphics, sound, animation, and video) to
be accessed on a single machine. What makes multimedia even
more powerful is that it also entails hypermedia. That means that
the multimedia resources are all linked together and that learners
can navigate their own path simply by pointing and clicking a
mouse.
 INTERNET:
 Computer Mediated Communication allows users to share not only
brief messages, but also lengthy (formatted or unformatted)
documents - thus facilitating collaborative writing - and also
graphics, sounds, and video.

7. Information and
Communications Technology
The 4Cs of ICT:
 Computing,
 Connectivity,
 Content, and (human)
 Capacity

8. OVERVIEW
Together, ICT is roughly 6.6% of the world’s
GDP
ICT is more than computers and telephony – ICT
is embedded in virtually all industrial,
commercial, and
services systems.
ICT is a fundamental part of economic growth,
especially for the so-termed knowledge
economy.
