And I am back!!!!
Education should go on par with changing times and as I see it CALL is one way of molding teaching methodologies to suit the needs of modern times while making the best of technology available to facilitate learning.
Use of computers on one hand joins education with a ubiquitous technology in society while making learning close to the students of the modern world. It is true that computers incorporated with learning makes learning easier and it makes it easier and more productive to the teacher as well.
But as I feel, the best thing about CALL is the motivation it gives to students. The impact and influence of technology, especially computers, is so strong that students have come to believe that anything detached from technology is boring.
But CALL gives students this “techi” feeling and yes, it is a wonderful booster of enthusiasm!!!!
Dear Umesha,
ReplyDeleteyou are right, technology is a great facilitator in learning and teaching. Computer is the greatest one with its enormous and endless potentials. What seemed quite new yesterday, is already old today and we are just running to catch up the innovations. I admire those who have made and are making their contributions to developing such machines.
