A large number of papers on computer-assisted language learning (CALL) are presented at international conferences such as the Globalization and Localization in Computer-Assisted Language Learning (GLoCALL) conference every year. Considering that diverse and innovative ways of using CALL technologies and techniques are reported through the papers, it should be meaningful to have a close look at ...

This study examined the effectiveness of Telegram social network on the writing performance of adult English as foreign language (EFL) learners at intermediate level. To achieve this, Oxford Quick Placement Test (2004) was administered to 46 EFL learners at Zaban-e No language institute in Talesh, Iran. Those who met the selection criterion, i.e., performed one standard deviation above and belo...

This study aimed to investigate the effect of using vocabulary software on the vocabulary learning of Iranian EFL learners. Participants of the study were 54 intermediate-level students (23 males and 31 females) learning English as a foreign language in Mehr Institute in Izeh who were selected after taking the Nelson English Language Test as a proficiency test. They were randomly divided into t...

Ever since computer technologies were accessible to second language learners and teachers, various types of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) have been harnessed in the service of teaching languages. Most recently, the advent of online technologies has sparked CALL practitioners to integrate this powerful form of teaching and learning into language education. This paper synthesizes the...

In communication learning by second language, three abilities have to be improved; listening, speaking and writing abilities. In this sense, it is important to evaluate user’s pronunciation ability and to detect mispronunciations in English CALL (Computer-Assisted Language Learning) systems. In this paper, we propose three functions (segmentation, phrasing and pronunciation evaluation) in the C...

Behind the somewhat pompous name of this paper hides a much more modest aim. It is an attempt at clarifying one of the major problem areas found in the field of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL), specifically the use of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). The aim of CALL is to produce tools aiding the acquisition of foreign languages and, long-term, to produce full-fledged, virtual, mu...
