Graded Assignment 1


A. Summary of article on CALL



               The article CALL and the responsibilities of teachers and administrators written by Jeremy F. Jones talks about teachers' role towards the use of CALL in students' learning process. Jones said that if the computer program is undertaken as part of an institutional course, teachers' role will be far from minimal. Teachers would have to provide assistance in a number of way:

  1. Relating units of the program to a taught syllabus and to the individual special needs.
  2. Identifying the right level for the learners.
  3. Helping to select task. For example organizing pairs at each terminal for greater communicative values.
  4. Monitoring progress.
Jones also mentioned about the attitude of teachers seems to be more complex. Regardless of how they are not comfortable with high technology because they might have not grown up with computers unlike their students, they should learn about it because computers is one essential method in learning process nowadays.
