  • Period: to

    Before CALL

    Era before the integration of CALL (computer-assisted language learning)
  • Slates and Chalk

    Slates and Chalk
    Paper was still too expensive for many people in the 1800s. As a result, individuals required a less expensive method of writing. Personal slates and chalk addressed this issue by allowing pupils to erase any errors. It is also an important activity and method for transferring learned words into short-term memory in language learning.

  • Chalkboard

    Chalkboard
    A chalkboard is a dark-colored board on which chalk may be written. Chalkboards played an essential role in language classes, particularly in earlier times when teachers had less tools for visual representations of the language. https://www.flickr.com/photos/128837093@N06/15569103216

    Era of Call

    CALL (computer-assisted language learning)
  • Skinner Teaching Machine

    Skinner Teaching Machine
    Students did not begin to employ interactive instructional technology in the classroom until 1957. It also created by behavioral psychologist B.F. Skinner. Students were able to learn at their own pace thanks to the teaching machine. It creates paper discs with questions and answers. Drills were first employed in structural CALL to offer students with practice. https://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_690070
  • Photocopier

    Photocopier
    Photocopying is the practice of swiftly and cheaply producing copies of papers and other visual images" (Doctorcopy.com, n.d.) It allowed instructors and administrators to create copies of class materials at the time. Language teachers acquired access to many printed copies of digital assets such as flashcards, worksheets, and handouts needed for language education by using photocopiers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xerox_914
  • Period: to

    Structural CALL

    Structural /behavioristic CALL was conceived in the 1950s and implemented in the 1960s and 1970s. Informed by
    the behaviorist learning model, this mode of CALL featured repetitive language drills, referred to as drill-and-practice. http://www.academypublication.com/issues/past/jltr/vol01/06/25.pdf
  • Mobile Assisted Language Learning

    Mobile Assisted Language Learning
    Known as a MALL, educators must understand how to use them effectively to support various types of learning and use methods and materials for mobile assisted language learning (MALL).

In 11th World Conference on Mobile and Contextual Learning. https://www.clipartmax.com/middle/m2i8d3K9G6A0G6A0_get-mobile-assisted-language-learning/
  • Personel Compuers

    Personel Compuers
    Personal computers are huge aspects of teaching and studying languages in the communicative CALL era. https://www.computerhistory.org/timeline/1981/
  • Period: to

    Communicative Call

    During the Communicative Call era, multimedia and the Internet were utilized to expose students to actual language in order to improve accuracy, fluency, and agency. https://pressbooks.pub/techandcurriculum/chapter/technology-assisted-language-learning/
  • CD-ROM Drive

    CD-ROM Drive
    CD-ROMs contributed to language teaching by storing listening activities and many interactive book materials such as applications, dictionaries and many more. https://www.visualalchemy.tv/1985_pioneer_compact_disc_player_pd6010
  • World Wide Web

    World Wide Web
    The World Wide Web (W3) was developed to be a pool of human knowledge, which would allow collaborators in remote sites to share their ideas and all aspects of a common projects.

  • Social Media

    Social Media
    In this era, the quick expansion of social media enhanced, owing mostly to technological causes such as increasing internet access, improved software tools, and the development of more powerful computers and mobile devices.

  • Period: to

    Integrative CALL

    Task-based, project-based, and content-based methods all tried to integrate learners in genuine situations, as well as to integrate multiple abilities of language acquisition and usage, resulting in integrative CALL, a fresh viewpoint on technology and language learning. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/342404706_CALL_in_Context_A_Brief_Historical_and_Theoretical_Perspective
  • Web 2.0

    Web 2.0
    Everyone acquired unfettered access to data on the web, resulting in the creation of numerous programs, useful websites, social networks, and nearly endless accessible and editable scripts. In language instruction classrooms, we see them as kahoot games, interactive web sites, quizlets, and so on. https://etwinningonline.eba.gov.tr/course/collaborative-web-tools/
  • Tablets

    Tablets
    Tablets are one of the most efficient tools of personal interactive learning. If used in language classes, there are many effective benefits of it. Thanks to the personalized tablets, the students can create a learning space for themself. Moreover, the educator is able to follow them and it causes easy distance learning. https://www.online-sciences.com/technology/the-importance-and-uses-of-tablets-in-education/
