Today, my friends and I learned about CALL in Seminar in English class. CALL or Computer Assisted Language Learning is a system or learning language which is using internet in supporting in learning process. We learned about CALL through the article "Computer Assisted Language Learning: an Introduction by Mark Warshauer." This article contains a lot of information about the history of CALL which is suggested that human uses computer to serve as a tool of studying language for a long time. Then the question is "Why don't we manage to push it more further by making it becomes something more than a plain computer that shows texts and structure?" With the idea of making the computer becoming more advance and suitable for learning language, they manage to upgrade and put in more function to the computer to make it able to serve for all language skills such as grammar, listening, pronunciation, speaking, reading, writing, and vocabulary. And when they finished putting those things such as speaker, microphone, software, and etc. to upgrade the computer, we called the results of upgrading computer that is ready to serve language teaching in all purpose. "CALL" or "Computer Assisted Language Learning" as I informed you before. With the CALL, the idea of "CMC" or "Computer Mediated Communication" is become more clarify. It likes CALL is one of the producation of CMC. For me, I don't really care about the production of, what source of it, or how it becomes something like that. I think as long as it keeps the world going better and better is okay.
