Why invest in CALL?

call will make the interaction between teachers and students easier and closer, students can learn everywhere at any time ( learning without going to the classroom).

call is an essential part of learning in the next decade. it also lightens the work of teachers, students also find the information more easily.

it's the need for the future generations and future ways of learning.

Nowadays, most of students have positive attitudes towards using Computer Assisted Language Learning. When they use Computer Assisted Language Learning, their knowledge and information will be enriched. Besides that, CALL provides students with fresh and up-dated information and plays an important role in developing students' academic skills.

There are some reasons that we should invest in CALL:

-          Saving time for evaluating the results of student. For example: Instead of having student to come to class just to give their assignment after their field trip, they can submit it online. Also, the teacher can mark them immediately.

-          Improve the speed of processing and analyzing data in research.

-          Easy access to resources everywhere.

-          Help people to connect and interact with each other all over the world. For example: we can share research works and learn from each other’s experience.  

-          Improve knowledge retention. For example: If teacher recorded their lectures and uploaded online, student can review them whenever they need to.

We should invest in CALL for those reasons:

- Call plays an important role in enabling students to become effective independent learners and motivating them to be familiar to the lifelong learning concept. Besides the knowledge students acquire at school from teachers and friends, they have a chance to self-study at home or at any place and anytime they want to.

- Secondly, CALL applied in FL curriculum creates a habit for students to study actively and time over time, it becomes their habit in language learning, which is really good because if we stop learning a language, we will forget.

- Besides, students are curious and have eagerness toward the technology; therefore, CALL will attract them more than the traditional books and note-takings. 

- With the FL, it is crucial that the more students get expose to the real life situation and authentic materials, the better they are in language learning. For example, listening to the American's speaking and accents is better than Vietnamese teacher's voice. For this reason, CALL with multiple apps and websites is an amazing choice so far.

- Finally, CALL reduces teachers' work and double students' motivation to learn if CALL is accessed and used in an appropriate way.

I would like to mention some reasons for investing in CALL.

- Reduce labor costs 

- Enhance staff job satisfaction in terms of flexible working, i.e. they can work from home or remotely for part or all of the time, and job sharing

- Provide staff / teachers technology assistant to diversify their teaching methodology and task allocation

- Provide student with opportunity to access to technology 

- Students are easy to get contact and practice with other fellows.

CALL, aka Computer assisted language learning, should be invested for five important features:

Firstly, it supports learner’s autonomy by giving them opportunities to create their own way for language learning. It demands a wide range of skills to accomplish a task, for example, editing a video, creating a website,…

CALL also develop their integration in social context, by introducing more team work in their language learning process. CALL projects are usually managed by a group of people, which includes a photographer, an editor, a designer, a content writer

Thirdly, it individualised one’s learning, when they can integrate text, images, sound, video,…in their activities.

Furthermore, by adopting new learning method, a learner will develop their language skills integrally, while they could have higher abilities of comprehension, speaking and writing by focusing on each online activity.  

Finally, CALL opens to critism. Every user can express their critical look or their expectations at activities’ effectiveness at a click.

Here are the reasons to invest in CALL:

- Technology is playing important roles in our daily life. We can see a very clear shift from the past ten years when teenagers went to the Internet room to play with Yahoo, blog.... Nowadays, most of every student have a technological device to connect to the media.

- CALL allows learners to search, do assignments in a very fast way. What they have to do is some clicks.

- It is easier for students to store their information (google classroom, class dojo...) then follow and catch up with their friends.

- Students can easily get assess to the variety of test banks, practice tests,... to review and study

- It is always updated with the. latest version by experts around the world
