Abstract
With the rapid development of economy and technology, more and more fields are combined with electronic intelligence and artificial intelligence, and language teaching is no exception. As a research hot issue, computer-assisted language learning (CALL) has attracted more and more people's attention. Based on computer-aided technology, teachers can not only provide students with rich language input, but also improve classroom efficiency. However, there are still some problems in this technology. This paper reviews some empirical studies on the impact of computer-assisted language teaching from 2015 and reveals the relevant progress and shortcomings of foreign researches in terms of six aspects from the perspective of language teaching, in order to provide some enlightenment for future research.
Highlights
In the past few decades, due to the popularization of scientific knowledge and technology, more and more people have access to online resources, which means that even the children in the poorest areas may be exposed to fresh knowledge and the most advanced ideas
These two new studies on the effects of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) on phonological acquisition both show that Computer-assisted pronunciation training (CAPT) has a positive effect on facilitating students' learning of pronunciation, generally in terms of pronunciation accuracy and fluency compared to the control group
In order to explore whether CALL can bring a positive impact on students' reading comprehension ability, Mehdi Yaghoobi and Seyyed Ayatollah Razmjoo (2016) have found that computer-assisted instruction has a positive effect on reading, and English learners can learn a language better through CAI
Summary
In the past few decades, due to the popularization of scientific knowledge and technology, more and more people have access to online resources, which means that even the children in the poorest areas may be exposed to fresh knowledge and the most advanced ideas. (Crystal, 1997) Compared with the traditional teaching mode, its advantage is self-evident It breaks the traditional teaching mode based on teachers and classroom indoctrination for thousands of years, changes the situation of high labor intensity and low learning efficiency, realizes multi-level development and reasonable allocation, and realizes the scientific, industrialized, and efficient education. Based on the previous studies, this paper discusses the empirical researches on this aspect in foreign countries in the past five years, aiming to confirm the role of CALL in promoting students' interest and learning initiation, as well as its role in promoting students' English skills, and expounds the current situation and development trend of CALL, so as to put forward suggestions
