COMPUTER ASSISTED LANGUAGE LEARNING (CALL)
It is a term used by teachers and students to describe the use of computers in the process of language learning. (Hardisty & Windeatt:1989).
It is conventionally described as a means of 'presenting, reinforcing and testing' particular language items.
In a simpler form it can be called as any process in which a learner uses a computer and as a result improves his or her language. (Beatty 2003:7)
