The Benefits of Computer - Assisted Language Learning


According to Hartoyo (2010: 59) Computer-grade learning (CALL) learning that involves the use of computers) refers to learning that involves the use of computers, usually with an interactive computer system (hypertext / multimedia) system. The exitence of computer is very useful for people, one of them is the student. Because they can develop their knowlegde indirect with adding many new vocabulary in the other language.

There are many benefits of Computer – Assisted Language Learning (CALL) :
1. Flexibility

User can come at any time and spend as long as they need to get the full benefits of the material. They can use computer in everytime when they need. This reason make user easier to use computer as an assited language.

2. Motivate Students

Computers have more capabilities than other media, which can encourage students in learning the language. Sussex, Cumming & Cropp (1994) argues that computer-based multimedia as a language tool, able to motivate students, is flexible and provocative because computers have the ability to present material in a way more diverse than books or videos.

3. Give Individual Attention

In this case a good program can offer individualized attention and can allow students to work with their own rhythm. Students can work with their privacy without fear of negative reprisals or jokes. If they learn slowly or if they give wrong answers. Direct diagnosis can save time and eliminate students' fatigue and be able to help them overcome their mistakes. Computers are also very consistent in response, tirelessly working long hours.

During this time the habit of reading is still a concern, CALL encourages users (students) to develop a consequential reading habit. This is a distinct advantage because we can quickly get information quickly and more. It also allows users to make their own decisions to develop selective and critical reading habits so that these habits make them able to scan information (topics that are based on their interests).
So, CALL make the user/student easier to transfer the source language into target language and student more understand to know about something in computer, student also can more get many knowledge about vocabulary in other language. CALL can support the user/student to learn many languages. However, we have to use it properly.
