CALL Me
Robert Fischer’s article A
Conceptual Overview of the History of the CALICO Journal: The Phases of CALL was
based around the acronym ICT, “Information and
Communication Technology.” In a
nutshell, the CALL field (Computer Assisted Language Learning) evolved from
placing its focus on ICT’s “T,” followed by its “I,” and then its “C.” Once the foundational technological
structures were in place, more attention has since been given to how CMC (computer-mediated
communication) impacts the individual. For educational
researchers, this is good news: the emphasis is now being placed on students and their L2 development.
