Computer-assisted language learning [CALL]

Computer-assisted language learning
Computers have recently become fully effective means in various aspects of language teaching.

Computer-assisted language learning (CALL) is a method of language teaching and learning in which computer technology is used as an aid to the presentation, storage and assessment of the material which is to be learned. Typical Computer-assisted language learning programs present any combination of text, images, sound or video. The user learns the language material by typing at the keyboard, pointing and clicking with the mouse, or speaking into a microphone. Modern Computer-assisted language learning software has embraced CD-ROM and DVD and a wide range of other new technologies, helping in teaching pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and other aspects of the language.
