Levy, 2009O Survey of CALL applications by skill.

O “As the options multiply, it is easy to become overwhelmed by the diversity.” (p. 777).

O Technology can become normalized, invisible.

Levy 2009Three implications for learners:

1. Widespread use ≠ learning effectiveness

2. Student training is necessary because users ≠ learners

3. Technologies already used by learners with different goals and priorities.

DiscussionO Make a list of the applications/ tools/

websites you know of or have used by skill:

GrammarVocabulary

ReadingWriting

PronunciationListeningSpeaking

DiscussionO What areas of these skills have been

addressed by the CALL tools you have seen?

O What areas of these skills have not been addressed by CALL tools?

O What are some of the hurdles that learners might face in using these technologies?

Philosophy of teaching with technology

O Can be valuable to verbalize your ideas/beliefs about the role of technology in your own teaching.

O Teaching philosophies are documents that require ongoing development and reflection.

Individual reflectionO What is your personal philosophy on

the role of technology in your language teaching?

O How does your philosophy of CALL fit in with your larger teaching philosophy?

O Compare with your classmates
