😊 Computer Assisted Learning: A helpful Approach in Learning English 😊
Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL)
In the mid 1960s, new technological aids came into general use in the classroom-language laboratory such as portable tape-recorder and film strip projector which were all greeted with tapes and greeted with satisfaction in all modern language departments. Use of tapes and equipment was revolutionary for language teachers. Although tapes-recorder was helpful because it offered native speaking voice in the classroom, it could not provide learners offered by editing facilities.
Media motivate students by presenting language in a more complete communicative context and by bringing real life experience into the classroom. Media can also help students process information and free the teacher from excessive explanation, and they give them opportunities to increase their knowledge interesting way in the classroom.
Technology from the Point of view of Constructivism
The more students participate in the lesson, the better they will perform. They benefit from learning by doing and learn through increased interaction and independent time for learning.
There are two major types of constructivism, cognitive and social, that can extrapolate with the use of technology in the classroom
⏩Cognitive constructivism refers to the student-centred aspects. Students are not passive recipients of learning; they construct their own knowledge from information received.
⏩Social constructivism refers to student assistance. More advanced students help other students understand ideas or concepts beyond their baseline level of understanding (Vygotsky, 1986).
