Pedagogical advantages of CALL materials
Nonlinearity
Students can access information as and how they want to, rather than in a predetermined sequence
This is an advantage only if: Students know how to find the information they need Students have strategies to learn with hypermedia The quality of the linked resources is of a sufficiently high
standard

Pedagogical advantages of CALL materials
Multimedia
Different modalities appeal to different learning styles and multimedia results in an enriched learning environment

Pedagogical advantages of CALL materials
Empowerment
CALL offers: Easier access to materials Greater control for learners Opportunities for the development of metacognitive skills
and learner autonomy

Pedagogical advantages of CALL materials
Monitoring of learning behaviour
CALL programs can record and monitor learners’ behaviour and progress and dynamically alter input or make suggestions to the learner

Pedagogical advantages of CALL materials
Authenticity
CALL materials aid in the development of more authentic materials by allowing selection of content based on actual language use, e.g. through use of corpora
CALL resources resemble the types of resources especially younger learners use in everyday life. The use of educational games is an example of ways in which materials developers have attempted to mimic learners’ out-of-class activities

Pedagogical advantages of CALL materials
Feedback
Immediate feedback is possible with CALL materials

Pedagogical advantages of CALL materials
New types of activities
CALL materials can include activities that are difficult or impossible to achieve using other learning materials, such as moving objects across the screen (matching), recording one’s voice etc.

Spoken English
Spoken language practice has also become much easier to organise with individuals or groups of learners being encouraged to communicate with other individuals or groups of learners around the world.

Reading
One of the most obvious benefits of the Internet for language teachers is the unprecedented access to a copious supply of authentic reading material such as Newspaper reports Stories Recipes Craft activities Geographic information Journal articles

Reading
Technology can be used to teach students strategies for comprehension …
Roll-over prompts can be inserted into the text at key points, encouraging the reader to predict, or to guess from context, or to use skimming and scanning skills, or to attend to topic sentences, or to refer to a relevant image

Contributions to language learning
Enhancing reading through electronic media
Even a simple word processing program can be used to advantage by focusing students’ attention on significant recurring patterns by highlighting, animating, deleting, changing font and type size, and so on
More powerful programs (e.g., Flash, Director) can be used to help the reader notice syntactic units by highlighting these (appropriately ‘chunked’) as the student listens to the text being read aloud

Contributions to language learning
Making reading easier
Hypermedia makes it possible to build into a single page a number of clickable options to support the L2 reader. These devices, such as pop-ups, rollovers, links to other pages, menus and so on, are unobtrusive and only activated when a reader decides to access the information
Words can be explained by linking to dictionaries providing a definition of the word in context Providing a photo or animation

Contributions to language learning
Enhancing writing through electronic media
A well-designed writing program will lead the writer through all the phases of the writing process, providing as much support as needed along the way

Contributions to language learning
Enhancing writing through electronic media
Once the student starts to draft a text, the computer becomes a powerful resource. The advent of word processing has revolutionized the writing of text. And yet it is still surprisingly underexploited in the L2 classroom.

Writing and composing
For language learners, blogging provides an opportunity to participate in the composing process without the pressure to produce a whole text independently

Grammar and vocabulary
One area in which digital technology has been used to achieve previously impossible outcomes in relation to vocabulary and syntax is the development of language corpora
By using a concordancing tool, it is possible to retrieve innumerable examples of any particular word together with its immediate context
