The Role of Computers in Language Learning and Teaching

Abstract

The main aim of my thesis is to draw attention to the great idea of applying computers in language learning and teaching. Besides, I have collected the most important historical background of computers in the second chapter. Then I come to the point of the appearance of computers and their application in education. In the next chapter I introduce CALL, which is not a method but rather a tool which helps teachers to promote the language learning process. Later I establish a connection between the computer and the Internet including programs developing spelling skills (gallows tree) and e – Learning as a new teaching form. Everyone knows what e – Learning means, many of us use it, and today we can find everything on the Internet.
