Following the arrival of multimedia CALL, multimedia language centres began to appear in educational institutions.

The term CALI ( Computer-assisted language instruction ) was in use before CALL, reflecting its origins as a subset of the general term CAI ( Computer-assisted instruction ).

The PLATO project, initiated at the University of Illinois in 1960, is an important landmark in the early development of CALL ( Marty 1981 ).

The advent of the microcomputer in the late 1970s brought computing within the range of a wider audience, resulting in a boom in the development of CALL programs and a flurry of publications of books on CALL in the early 1980s.

In its early days the Web could not compete seriously with multimedia CALL on CD-ROM and DVD.

During the 1980s and 1990s several attempts were made to establish a CALL typology.

* Communicative CALL: 1970s to 1980s.

The second phase described by Warschauer & Healey, Communicative CALL, is based on the communicative approach that became prominent in the late 1970s and 1980s ( Underwood 1984 ).

* Structural CALL: 1970s to 1980s.

* Communicative CALL: 1980s to 1990s.

A wide range of different types of CALL programs was identified by Davies & Higgins ( 1985 ), Jones & Fortescue ( 1987 ), Hardisty & Windeatt ( 1989 ) and Levy ( 1997: pp. 118ff .).

Since the 1990s it has become increasingly difficult to categorise CALL as it now extends to the use of blogs, wikis, social networking, podcasting, Web 2. 0 applications, language learning in virtual worlds and interactive whiteboards ( Davies et al.

Examples of CALL programs for multimedia computers that were published for multimedia computers on CD-ROM and DVD from the mid-1990s onwards are described by Davies ( 2010: Section 3 ).

One of the main promises of CALL is the ability to individualise learning but, as with the language labs that were introduced into educational institutions in the 1960s and 1970s, the use of the facilities of multimedia centres has often devolved into rows of students all doing the same drills ( Davies 2010: Section 3. 1 ).

The question of the impact of CALL in language learning and teaching has been raised at regular intervals ever since computers first appeared in educational institutions ( Davies & Hewer 2011: Section 3 ).

See also Levy & Hubbard ( 2005 ), who raise the question Why call CALL " CALL "?

Most CALL programs in Warschauer & Healey's first phase, Behavioristic CALL ( 1960s to 1970s ), consisted of drill-and-practice materials in which the computer presented a stimulus and the learner provided a response.

The third phase of CALL described by Warschauer & Healey, Integrative CALL, starting from the 1990s, tried to address criticisms of the communicative approach by integrating the teaching of language skills into tasks or projects to provide direction and coherence.

Multimedia CALL started with interactive laser videodiscs such as Montevidisco ( Schneider & Bennion 1984 ) and A la rencontre de Philippe ( Fuerstenberg 1993 ), both of which were simulations of situations where the learner played a key role.

Computer-assisted language learning ( CALL ) is succinctly defined in a seminal work by Levy ( 1997: p. 1 ) as " the search for and study of applications of the computer in language teaching and learning ".

Blended learning is designed to increase learning potential and is more commonly found than pure CALL ( Pegrum 2009: p. 27 ).

"&" was effectively a shorthand for CALL, with an address that would be predefined.

A task switch can be explicitly triggered with a CALL or JMP instruction targeted at a TSS descriptor in the global descriptor table.

For example, to market the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops II, dog tags inscribed with the words " CALL OF DUTY BLACK OPS II " were given when a person pre-ordered the game.

Like larger processors, it had automatic CALL and RET instructions for multi-level procedure calls and returns ( which could even be conditionally executed, like jumps ) and instructions to save and restore any 16-bit register-pair on the machine stack.

Some examples are ( 486 → Pentium, in clock cycles ): CALL ( 3 → 1 ), RET ( 5 → 2 ), shifts / rotates ( 2 ~ 3 → 1 ), etc.

When you hear the busy signal, press the " CALL BACK " key.

Press the blinking " CALL BACK " key.

Press the pre-programmed CALL BACK button.

; CALL: Executes another batch file and returns to the old one and continues.

SCFL did not CALL for a general strike because it does not have that authority.

Like larger processors, it has CALL and RET instructions for multi-level procedure calls and returns ( which can be conditionally executed, like jumps ) and instructions to save and restore any 16-bit register-pair on the machine stack.

Attendance is ON CALL.

For example, on PIC16, CALL and GOTO have 11 bits of addressing, so the page size is 2048 instruction words.

Note that a CALL instruction only includes 8 bits of address, and may only specify addresses in the first half of each 512-word page.

They also supported modular programming features such as CALL ( subroutines ), external variables and common sections ( globals ), enabling significant code re-use and isolation from hardware specifics via use of logical operators such as READ / WRITE / GET / PUT.

CALL embraces a wide range of ICT applications and approaches to teaching and learning foreign languages, from the " traditional " drill-and-practice programs that characterised CALL in the 1960s and 1970s to more recent manifestations of CALL, e. g. as used in a virtual learning environment and Web-based distance learning.
