CALL

             HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF CALL

                 CALL is the abbreviation of ''computer-assisted learning system''. CALL has its origins from the 1950s. As time passes it became widely used in schools, homes. And now it is essential for language education. I collect information about the development of CALL over the last 30 years with important technological developments, theories, and approaches. Warschauer(1996) divides CALL into phases of development as follows: Behavioristic CALL, Communicative CALL, Integrative CALL( multimedia, CD, ROM), and integrative CALL (internet). The beginning of the new phase does not show us the end of the former phase. 

                Let's have a look at this dramatic development of CALL with the following online timeline. (This is originally an online timeline but since I am not a premium user of the timeline maker program the following is just an image.)
