1.1. In order for learners to learn, they need to reflect upon their Learning in discussion with teachers and peers, in diaries and in reports.

1.1.1. Through reflection, learners begin to examine learning materials and their strategies for app roaching them, thus benefiting even when a CALL program or online learning resource does not meet their learning needs

2. ESTABLISHING AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE CALL MAY TAKE PLACE

3. Different software programs have been variously promoted as a virtual teacher, a teacher's helper, a guide, an instrument, a teaching tool and a learning tool. However, software programs have a long way to go before they can be seem to offer comprehensive effective and efficient language teaching without human in intervention.

4. The metaphor of a computer program as a teacher has been criticized (see Williams, 1998), but since that time assessments of the computer in the classroom have matured and most teachers see the computer as a complementary tool, not as an alternative.

4.1. However, it is necessary to assess the role of computers and computer software within the current model of classroom practice.
