Lesson: introducing CALL to learners Focus: interviewing skills, discussion skills, oral summary, question formation, listening for

main ideas. Preparation: show the learners the computers that they will be using. Ask them to brainstorm what
computers are used for. Ask what might be learned with/through computers in a language classroom. Type these lists in a word processing or presentation program as the learners participate.

Presentation: create a survey with the learners to find out about previous computer use and skills
among members of the class or program. Focus on vocabulary and grammar points as necessary. Work with the class on interviewing skills, model the procedure, and have learners practice with each other.

Practice: have the learners conduct the survey orally with the target population and take notes on the
answers. Learners record all the answers they receive in a simple database.

Evaluation: have learners, individually or in small groups, survey other language classes. Ask them to
report their findings back to the class, and then have the class discuss these findings before entering them into the database.
