What Computer-assisted Language Learning is?

In the previous text already read which talked about Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL), we have seen the and know more about tendency of the "communicative" or "enabling" potential of the computer as a way of improving the linguistic competence in a foreign language, in this case English. The integration of the computers as a beneficial way to learn a foreign language, as English, is more and more extended to courses and language material sellers and of course professors. On the other hand, there is a great insistence on the necessity of more communicative skills in a foreign language method, meaning communication as a primary function of language. Computer assisted language learning (CALL) refers to a set of instructions which need to be loaded into the computer for it to be able to work in the language classroom. It should be borne in mind that CALL does not refer to the use of a computer by a teacher to type out a worksheet or a class list or preparing his/her own teaching alone. Computers, which have entered the school life in the 20th century in developed countries, are still developing day by day throughout the world. Today, they have become more powerful, faster, easier to use, more convenient and cheaper, and they can process and store much more data, as well.
