Abstract

Levy (1997) defined computer-assisted language learning (CALL) as “the search for and study of applications of the computer in language teaching and learning” (p.1). With the advancement of technology, the term “computer” in CALL is expanded to include more concepts such as software depicting the virtual classroom, technology tools that could be used in a blended language course, assessment and training tools, interactive and collaborative online forums, and various types of copula curating authentic language in different contexts. The ongoing development of information technology prompts the continuous search for the applications of the computer in foreign and second language teaching and learning.
