the definition of CALL and its history.
the first phase of CALL was conceived in the 1950s
in 1960s CALL began implemented as Behavioristic CALL. this is the first phase of CALL. drill and practice type software was mainly present at that time.
in the late 1970s, behavioristic CALL was undermined by two important factors. First, behavioristic approaches to language learning had been rejected at both the theoretical and the pedagogical level. Secondly, the introduction of the microcomputer allowed a whole new range of possibilities
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
in this second phase, several types of CALL programs were develop, then came the computer as tutor model, computer as stimulus, and computer as tool
starting from the 1990, came the Integrative CALL. integrated approaches to CALL are based on two important technological developments of the last decade - multimedia computers and the Internet. Multimedia technology - exemplified today by the CD-ROM - allows a variety of media (text, graphics, sound, animation, and video) to be accessed on a single machine. and the internet is extension of CMC (Computer Mediated Communication) which has existed in primitive form since the 1960s.
