Week 1: Integrative CALL- The Key for Language Learning.

Rate: 3

When it comes to teaching and learning, there are a variety of methods and tools that teachers and students alike can use in order to learn a new language. These tools and methods have evolved and changed throughout time due to the constantly evolving world we live in.

From all of those tools and methods used in the teaching-learning process, the one that has been of most use is the Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL). This method went through different teaching-learning stages that were either accepted or rejected but that led to a new perspective on technology and language learning; this new perspective was named Integrative CALL.

Integrative CALL is a method that, as his name states, integrates the various skills of language learning and technology to make it easier for teachers to teach and for students to learn in a more sophisticated and attractive way. With this method students will rely on computers to practice what they learn on each class in a daily basis, dispel any sort of doubts they may have from subjects they have been studying, and look for any information they may need or want to learn about. Consequently, this method will encourage students to self-study and to create their own ways of learning a new language.
