- Abstract
The mid- to late 1990s was an exciting time for those concerned with introducing new technology into their teaching of English as foreign language (EFL). Commonly referred to as Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL), or sometimes with the broader term Technology-Enhanced Language Learning (TELL), the field took huge leaps forward during these years. However, in area of CALL, there existed miscommunication among researchers and practitioners without a clear understanding of the source of different assumptions. This paper focuses on the approaches to using modern technologies in the classroom that are especially useful for EFL teachers to consider. The model is presented, its significance is analyzed, and therefore activity ideas are provided that aim to help teachers better incorporate technologies into EFL classrooms.
