ICALL's Relevance to CALL
Ward, Monica
Research-publishing.net, Paper presented at the EUROCALL 2017 Conference (Southampton, United Kingdom, Aug 23-26, 2017)
The term Intelligent Computer Assisted Language Learning (ICALL) covers many different aspects of CALL that add something extra to a CALL resource. This could be with the use of computational linguistics or Artificial Intelligence (AI). ICALL tends to be not very well understood within the CALL community. There may also be the slight fear factor around ICALL, as it may seem very complicated and hard to understand. There is also the fact that ICALL resources tend to not be widely used in CALL as they may not be sufficiently robust enough for learners or they may not address a specific pedagogical need (Heift & Schulze, 2007). This paper looks at how some (basic) ICALL resources can be used in CALL. There is a need for ICALL and CALL researchers to work together to ensure that both benefit from each other's knowledge and expertise. ICALL has progressed in recent years and it is important for the ICALL community to raise awareness of what ICALL can bring to the CALL toolbox and to encourage CALL researchers to dip their toes in the ICALL waters.
