The emergence of CALL
CALL Stand for : Computer Assisted Language Learning .
The search for and programs of the computer in language teaching and learning .
Introduction
t has been over 50 years since the emergence of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) that would forever change how second/foreign languages are taught. This article presents a historical overview of the evolution of CALL from the early years of the mainframe computer to the integrative technologies of the 21st century. It examines the evolution of the dual fields of educational technology and second/foreign language teaching as they intertwined over the last half of the 20th century into present day CALL. The paper describes the paradigm shifts experienced along thisjourney

2- Communicative CALL
What is Communicative CALL?
Communicative CALL is based on the communicative approach to foreign language teaching which became prominent in the 1970’s and 1980’s.
The communicative approach
1- Is a reaction to the audio-lingual approach.
2-Focuses on language as a medium of communication.
3- Recognizes that we use language to get things done: we speak a language in order to communicate with others (e.g. we want to express likes and dislikes, ask somebody’s hobbies, find directions to a place).
How the Communicative CALL works?
1-Grammar is taught implicitly rather than explicitly.
2-Computers are used to stimulate discussion, writing or critical thinking. Students are encouraged to generate original utterances rather than just manipulate prefabricated language.
3-The programmes avoid telling students that they are wrong and are flexible to a variety of student
It all started with one fish who decide to touch the ¨butt¨. One fish at school got challenged to swim out and touch the bottom of a boat. With no fear in mind, Nemo went and touched the boat. Nemo thought he had an easy victory when something happened and changed his life forever. Nemo is the son of a brave dad named Marlin. Marlin suffered a miserable loss of his wife and all their children. Nemo is the only family member Marlin has left so Marlin pledges to keep Nemo safe at all costs. In the film ¨Finding Nemo¨ the author Andrew Stanton uses good and evil through the journey to criticise how we as humans value the love we have for are family members because we share a strong bond with the people we enjoy.
When considering the Research Project my goal was to develop a question that would truly interest and excite me. Therefore I considered what I was interested in and what I was hoping to get out of undertaking this project, when writing what I was interested in words such as fashion, hair, make-up, social media and body image all caught my attention. School formal was something I believed fell under all interests. I have always looked forward to the school formal, having never attended one I was unaware of what a school formal entailed specifically what is expected, I then used a general to specific triangle in order to create some possible research questions. Through the use of a general
Language is the the primary way of communicating with one another. This can be written or spoken.
The third call was from a citizen requesting a VIN check. They wanted to purchase a fifth wheel but the price seemed extremely low for the size of the fifth wheel. We responded to this call at roughly 1:40 p.m. deputy Akers couldn’t find a vin number on the vehicle and the vin number that was on a hand written bill of sale didn’t match the description. At that point it became questionable if this was a stolen vehicle or not. The woman who claimed to be the owner seemed very agitated; she kept pacing back-and-forth to her car.
Sickness is a part of life, and sometimes a gateway to death. There are many different kinds of sickness- some that strike hard and fast, and others that are slow, painful, and consuming. Alcoholism is a sickness of the latter variety. It slowly takes over a victim's life, ripping away loved ones while ravaging the victim's body from head to toe- beginning with the mind. The healing process is all that can rescue one from sickness- it is the only way to stray from its path and avoid death. In Raymond Carver's, "Where I'm Calling From," the narrator's attempted recovery from years of alcoholism is documented in detail. The story specifically focuses on the damage that alcoholism does to

To conclude, although spoken and written languages are analogous to a function of communication, they have significant differences, such as the durance and origins of existence, the grammatical patterns and the vocabulary. Furthermore, both types of language greatly contributes to linguistic, historical, psychological or even social education and development, therefore, it is equally important to analyze spoken and written
A simulation model is presented to analyze and evaluate the performance of VoIP based integrated wireless LAN/WAN with taking into account various voice encoding schemes. The network model was simulated using OPNET Modeler software. Different parameters that indicate the QoS like MOS, jitter, end to end delay, traffic send and traffic received are calculated and analyzed in Wireless LAN/WAN scenarios. Depending on this evaluation, Selection codecs G.729A consider the best choice for VoIP.
PCs make life less demanding for individuals regular. They help us to do undertakings faster and correspond with loved ones with the snap on a catch. PCs assume a critical part in the educational system also. They help understudies to take in more effectively and offer them some assistance with doing their work. PCs offer the Internet which offers understudies some assistance with researching data for ventures they might have. School PCs likewise offer projects which can offer anybody some assistance with learning. An illustration of this is the system All The Right Type. This system helps understudies and in addition educators, to figure out how to sort speedier and all the more proficiently. Likewise there are different projects which more youthful understudies can go ahead to help them with creating and strengthening their math aptitudes and perusing abilities. Programs like Math Circus and coordinating the word with the photo. Programs like these make it straightforward and use PCs, yet it likewise makes learning fun. PCs additionally make composing and doing homework less demanding to finish. With spell check and other spelling
World War I was a horrible event leading to the deaths of many soldiers sacrificing their lives in order to conquer and defend their territory in the most awful conditions in trenches. These events lead up shaping our world as we know it today.
Bell (1998) also studies the speech act of suggestion in interlanguage development. He/she examines the production of three speech acts including: requests, suggestion, and disagreements. Bell (1998) compares the requests and suggestions of a group of high-beginning level Korean ESL students. He found that while these students demonstrated an increase in the level of politeness in their expression of disagreements, these disagreement were still considered too direct and unmitigated by the hearers.
We use the language every day to communicate with each other in order to learn.in other words we need language to cooperate.
During 70s, researches on anthropology and sociolinguistics resulted in greater emphasis on the relationship between culture and language. Hinkel (1999) considers the works done by Hymes, Gumperz and Kaplan a great contribution to this relationship as they privileged the communication within the cultural context. Hymes (1972) argued that the nature of the situations when communicative acts occur differs from one culture to another. This indicates that culture is interconnected with the ability to communicate appropriately in different social situations. From this standpoint, students must examine the different social and cultural elements that underlie language.
Language is a human phenomenon that throughout history has aided in the communication between individuals and contributed to the psychological welfare of individuals. Having the ability to communicate is the most important evolutionary trait that has occurred. Since communication allows a species to be able to create sounds that have a distinctive meaning. Those meanings being everything from warning calls, mating calls or simply chatters to declare ones territory. Language is a human equivalent to animal calls, in that it provides people the ability to communicate a wide range of concepts. Language allows people to engage in conversation where business or personal relationships can be created. The relationships people develop whether
Most students today use technology throughout their school day. Uses for technology can be found for every subject matter a student has. Some of the most widely used tools are found in the English and Language Arts classes. Writing on word processors allows students to cut-and-paste, save their work, and use spell checkers and thesauruses. With technology students are also given advantages in learning how to read. Reading programs use
