Computer-Assisted Language Learning

The ultimate and permanent goal of Foreign Language Teaching is to enable students to acquire the ability to communicate in target language. However, it is very hard for the average foreign language teacher to perform in the common physical classroom. As the Information Age commenced in the late 20\ \{th\} century, Computer-assisted Language Learning (CALL) systems have been developed to provide foreign language teaching with a more advanced medium. CALL is a cross-disciplinary science conceived in the 1950s and implemented in the 1960s and 1970s. The two authors of this paper analyze the objective reasons for innovation and reform on Chinese traditional teaching model and focus on the unique advantages and prospects of CALL in the current and future foreign language teaching.
