EVOLUTION OF CALL


1) BEHAVIORISTIC CALL

ADVANTAGES 

  • Repetition is beneficial for learning.
  • Can provide immediate feedback.
  • Students can work on their own pace outside the classroom.
  • Efficient record keeping.

 DISADVANTAGES

  • The theory was based on Operand Conditioning by B.F. Skinner which became somewhat associated to the training of animals.
  • CALL activities should be built on intrinsic motivation and foster interactivity.
  • Students are passive respondents, not initiator.


2) COMMUNICATIVE CALL 

This is the second phase of CALL. this phase is supported because drill and practice program in the first phase is not enough authentic communication anymore





Concentrated on the use of language as opposed to perfect grammar. It also shows punctuation verifiable as opposed to unequivocally. This also enables students to create their own unique articulation and create a situation where the utilization of language winds up noticeably common. Besides that, computer play a role as a tutor where computer helps students to practice non- drill format such as language games, paced reading and many more. Students have the freedom to do whatever they want as computer don't judge. Computer involves tools such as generic software. Word Processor, Excel spreadsheet and others. It could be greatly involve the students performance as it is cheap and available.


3) INTEGRATE CALL

The usage of CD-ROMs which stores large amount of medias and become highly develop through internet. The internet dominate CALL and to access information like images, video and other sources. There's also CMC Computer Mediated Communication which is two communication. Speakers and learners can directly communicate through two way asynchronous and synchronous.



  • Synchronous - Email



  • Synchronous - WhatsApp


The criticism involves quality of the authentic material varies between creators and not tailor-made for ESL

Interactions over CMC may be authentic but prone to human mistakes.

As a conclusion,  I could see the development of using computer from nothing to something. Technology do play a big role in our life. Many different and varieties of CALL changes can been seen here.
