Insightful. Comprehensive. Practical. Fun to read and learn from.

"The computer itself does not have a philosophy of teaching and learning." (p. 3)

"CALL provides individualized interactive instruction unmatched by what can be provided in the classroom." (p. 6)

"Unlike textbooks, CALL materials also allow learners to vary the amount of time they spend, the help they request, or the path they take through a learning activity. Because CALL can tailor instruction specifically to individuals learners, CALL has a greater potential for good learner fit that do other materials." (p. 7)

"Teachers must decide how CALL fits into their pedagogy." (p. 8)
