CALL for the Digital EFL/ESL Generation
This research paper was written in E526 Teaching English as a Second/Foreign Language. There are many current issues about EFL/ESL teaching and one of my interests is the use of technology in the EFL/ESL classroom. As using technology including Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) is the general trend, it is necessary to think about the disadvantages as well as the benefits of using technology. This paper focused mainly on CALL and it contains the history of use of technology in EFL/ESL classroom, the advantage and the disadvantage of CALL, teacher's role in CALL and suggestions for effective use of CALL.
Definitely, CALL has many benefits to satisfy the new digital generation in terms of motivation and ubiquitous learning. It is believed that teachers need to have a professional and critical eye for selecting appropriate technology resources according to the specific teaching context for effective teaching instead of relying unconditionally on technology devices.
