TEACHERS AND CALL
Teachers interested in using technology can get involved in a number of different ways, which can be seen as different teacher roles.
- As researchers: into second language acquisition, human-computer interaction, what works for CALL
- As consumers of CALL for class use or for homework or other outside student activities
- As directors, helping students find and use supplementary CALL materials or web resources
- As managers of computer-mediated communication among learners in and out of class
- As software or web developers, either "from scratch" or adding new materials to existing templates
- As coaches to help students develop software, websites, and general computer literacy
- As CALL experts for your program, helping other teachers and administrators with CALL implementations
- As CALL professionals, consulting on external projects, doing software reviews for journals, making conference presentations, writing papers, interpreting and applying CALL research, and/or providing input to the field at large.
