Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) Resources

2007WiMAXForumTaipeiShowcase ASUS R50A

This is a new, and growing, list of CALL resources.  These include both professional development resources for teachers and resources for use with students.  Since  it is for teachers and students, I lean towards free (or freemium) resources.  This is especially true for software.  There are many wonderful software applications out there for a cost, and many teachers would even pay to use them.  However, many of those same teachers would likely hesitate before asking their students to do so.  For that reason, I tend to recommend free, opensource, freemium, shareware, etc. in this list.  If there is a wonderful paid service or software that you think must be on this list, let me know and tell me why.

I fully intend to keep this list current and significantly add to it in the future.  One of the things that I’d really like to do is to include more links to Korean companies (or tech with Korean interfaces) in consideration of my students and in acknowledgment of the great Korean tech out there that doesn’t get much press outside Korea.

CALL Connections for a New Semester

I’ve done a “CALL Connections” workshop a number of times.  It is supposed to focus on enabling students to make connections to people, content, and contexts.  The thrust of the workshop usually comes down to a review of sites/services that can help teachers do this.

As I’m putting the finishing touches on my new CALL course, I am reminded of this presentation and all of the valuable information I put in the handout.  If you’re interested in technology in the language classroom, check it out.  I’d love to hear your suggestions for expanding (or editing) the list.  It is a couple years old and that can be ancient in Internet time.

Here’s the Google Doc (publicly editable) and the original presentation is embedded below.
