"... Then Click on the Correct Answer": Which Way Ahead for the Field of CALL?
Tschichold, Cornelia
European Association for Computer-Assisted Language Learning (EUROCALL), Paper presented at the European Association for Computer-Assisted Language Learning (EUROCALL) Annual Conference (Nottingham, United Kingdom, Aug 31-Sep 3, 2011)
Despite the promise it holds, tutorial CALL has been marginalized within the CALL community. Where the computer is used solely as a tool, the beneficial effects of feedback for language learning are absent. Vocabulary would be one of the areas where tutorial CALL can be of great use to the individual learner. A small study on learning Welsh vocabulary shows some of the areas where feedback in vocabulary CALL could be improved. (Contains 2 tables.)
