(Week 12) Three Phases of CALL

From reading and presented about “Three Phases of CALL” I can summarize the knowledge as follow:

💬 There are three phases of CALL: 💬

          ☝ Behavioristic CALL

          ✌ Communicative CALL

          👌 Integrative CALL.

☝  Behavioristic CALL  is the first phase of CALL which was implemented in the 1960s. It was based on the model of computer as tutor. In other words, computer was seen as a medium to deliver instructional materials to learners. PLATO system, which included vocabulary drills, short grammar explanations and drills, and translation exercises, is a good example for this phase.

✌  Communicative CALL  focuses on authentic communication and use of forms rather than the forms themselves. 3 different CALL models were used for communicative activities:

          💛 Computer as tutor

                    💜 A non-drill format   

          💚 Computer as tool

                   ❤️ Word processing

                   ❤️ Grammar checkers

                   ❤️ Concordancers

                   ❤️ Spelling

          💙 Computer as stimulus

                   💜 Stimulates learner discussion, critical thinking or writing

👌  Integrative CALL  which includes two important developments: multimedia and the Internet. They also have control over their learning, and can access to many background links while they are focusing the main lesson. In addition, computer mediated communication and the Internet are used to help create an integrative communicative environment for language learning, and are great medium for global communication and various authentic materials.
