Abstract:
This presentation illustrates how Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) can be designed and delivered as a pure distance/online course, in which the learners, teachers or teacher trainees, form a true learning community through interaction, collaboration, construction of knowledge, and peer reviews. This course will see its twelfth year of delivery, with participants from all over the world. Its objective is to teach participants how to incorporate technology effectively into the curriculum and daily teaching. The presentation will discuss the building blocks of this course.
