Global CALL
Since computers entered the modern languages classroom there has been strong interest in many countries in the ways Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) can improve performance amongst learners. A worldwide community of teachers and researchers is dedicated to using new technologies to enhance the learning of modern languages and confront the many issues that remain to be explored. It is easy to use the Internet to learn from others and to join a global community of like-minded teachers.
