Based on the Week 2 presentation, Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) refers to drill-and-practice, tutorial, or simulation activities. All these are instruction or remediation presented on a computer available for the users. CAI allows students to progress at their own pace and work individually or problem solve in a group.
It also provides immediate feedback and the instruction moves at the students’ pace and usually does not move ahead until they have mastered the skill.
Meanwhile, Computer Assisted Language Learning is a form of computer-based learning which comprises two important features, namely; bidirectional learning and individualized learning. CALL programs (software applications) are designed specifically to promote language learning. It also focuses on student-centered accelerated learning material, which promotes self-paced accelerated learning. The philosophy of CALL puts a strong emphasis on student-centered lessons that allow the learners to learn on their own using structured and/or unstructured interactive lessons.
