ABSTRACT

Over the past 30 years CALL has been through three main stages: behaviorist CALL, communicative CALL, and integrative CALL (Warschauer & Healey, 1998). When people think of CALL, they traditionally think of it in terms of software and CD-ROMs, but recently the widespread availability of the Internet and its application in educational institutions have helped reshape the use of computers for language learning. Increasingly, L2 educators are finding ways to use the infinite number of resources available on the Web to help their students improve their communication and language skills. The Internet is thus transforming CALL into WELL (web-enhanced language learning).
