Due to their affordability, school slates and chalkboards were widely utilized throughout the 1800s. They were almost always available in language classes. -
Washington State College students are learning about the sounds of language in the phonetics lab. -
Repetition was a crucial component of learning according to behavioristic theories, which formed the foundation of CALL's initial phase. Drill and practice were quite popular, and kids were exposed to this repetition through the usage of computers. (Beatrice,2015)

The device is a rectangular wooden box with a metal cover that swings open and has windows. There are questions and answers inscribed along the radii of different paper discs that fit within. In the window closer to the center, one question is displayed at a time. The learner advances the mechanism and writes their response on the paper tape to the right. While hiding his response so that it cannot be modified, this reveals the true response. -
in the 1960s and 1970s. According to Wilkinson (2016), early technological innovations like phonograph records and reel-to-reel tapes were used to enhance listening and drill routines. (Al-Kadi, 2018) -
The old reel-to-reel recorders were pricey and difficult to operate. The development of the cassette tape made it possible for anybody to record audio without the specialized knowledge or training needed for reel-to-reel. -
A mainframe computer improved the effectiveness of the drill-and-practice rehearsal. Language teachers and professionals who used the grammar-translation technique relied on such tools to create isolated and discrete competences (sometimes out of context). (Al-Kadi,2015) -
As a result of theories relating to communicative language education, the computer's function in language classrooms evolved (which fostered teaching grammar implicitly rather than explicitly and placed all the emphasis on communication)

In 1981 IBM introduces the first personal computer. To improve accuracy and fluency, communicative exercises were conducted on personal computers. -
As the Communicative model lost popularity, a brand-new, task- and project-based methodology emerged. Furthermore, two incredibly important technologies were developed: multimedia (and hypermedia) and the internet. (Beatrice,2015) However, by 1996 it became more acceptable to use in homes and in schools. -
Versant tests were the first completely automated spoken language examinations that evaluated non-native speakers' spoken language proficiency. -
An interactive whiteboard called the SMART Board is made by SMART Technologies. In 1991, SMART unveiled the first SMART Board interactive whiteboard. These boards are currently used all over the world in classrooms, lecture halls, group meetings, and presentations. -
In 1999, as the Internet began to shift toward a system that actively engaged users, the phrase "Web 2.0" first entered common usage. Instead of only consuming material, users were urged to provide their own. (Kenton,2022) -
Tablets are portable and can be used in the classroom by students to access applications, movies, listening materials, language games, and other content. -
