An analysis of CALL and implications for Indonesia

Computers have begun to be exploited for English
teaching purposes by some Indonesian teachers.
Unfortunately, the potential of the computer is not fully
realized. There is also a danger that the computer is
misused. For example, the computer use is limited to
delivering exclusively dri11-and-practice exercises. It
is, therefore, very essential for Indonesian EFL teachers
to explore avenues for improving the computer use.
The aim of this study is explore how CALL (Computer
Assisted Language Learning) is used in the ACT in order
to encourage and improve the use of CALL in relation to
English teaching in Indonesia.
In this study, the different theories of CALL are
reviewed. This is followed by a description of how CALL
is utilized in the ACT. This CALL survey is offered as a
model for comparison. Since CALL is still considered a
controversial issue, students' and teachers' attitudes
toward CALL are also investigated. Finally, implications
and suggestions are put forward for Indonesian EFL
teachers and educational authorities. Important insights
from the survey are emphasized. Necessary information
which was not found in the survey, such as the latest
developments in CALL, is included.
