Teaching approaches to Computer Assisted Language Learning

Computers have been used for language teaching ever since the 1960's.Learning a second language is a challenging endeavor, and, for decades now, proponents of computer assisted language learning (CALL) have declared that help is on the horison. We investigate the suitability of deploying speech technology in computer based systems that can be used to teach foreign language skills. In this case, we make a case for using speech processing technology in CALL. Whether or not Computer Assisted Language teaching offers wide range of accessories to ESL teachers to exploit language teaching. In order to appreciate the potential benefit of using speech technology in CALL, a basic understanding of both the core technology and its limitations-what it can and cannot do-is therefore essential. In this paper listening and computer, financial barriers and CALL and motivation will be covered. The first thing that a student needs to develop to be able to communicate in a foreign language is his listening comprehension skill.
