This week teacher taught me about “Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL)”. CALL mean the search for and study of applications of the computer in language teaching and learning and I learnt about the different between CALL and CAI that CAI teach every subject but CALL  teach only language. More over, teacher taught about types of CAI

There were 7 types of CAI

   Tutorial activity includes both the presentation of information and its extension into different forms of work, including drill and practice, games and simulation.

Drill-and-practice opportunities or students to repeatedly practice the skills that have previously been presented and that further practice is necessary for mastery.

    Games software often creates a contest to achieve the highest score and either beat others or beat the computer.

    Simulation software can provide an approximation of reality that does not require the expense of real life or its risks.

    Discovery approach provides a large database of information specific to a course or content area and challenges the learner to analyze, compare, infer and evaluate based on their explorations of the data.

    Problem Solving this approach helps children develop specific problem solving skills and strategies                      

 Tests was the program that tested the student's knowledge.

After I presented finish, teacher asked many questions about it to me. After that I still listened the other content and could concluded "As a newly-emerged modern foreign language teaching form, multimedia foreign language teaching waits for the test of time. Without any problem in itself, its success depends on whether language teachers are initiative or not, whether they can fully exert the advantages of multimedia teaching to find and solve problems. As long as they deepen their research, sum up experiences and improve teaching methods constantly, multimedia will bring about more positive changes to foreign language teaching and therefore greater achievements will be made in our foreign language teaching".
