Abstract
This article will provide an overview of computers; an overview of the history of CALL, its pros and cons, the internet, World Wide Web, Multimedia, and research related to the uses of computers in the language classroom. Also, it also aims to provide some background for the beginners on using the Internet in language classes today. It discusses some of the common types of Internet activities that are being used today, what the minimum requirements are for using the Internet for language learning, and some easy activities you can adapt for your classes. Some special terminology related to computers will also be used in this paper. For example, computer assisted language learning (CALL) refers to the sets of instructions which need to be loaded into the computer for it to be able to work in the language classroom. It should be borne in mind that CALL does not refer to the use of a computer by a teacher to type out a worksheet or a class list or preparing his/her own teaching alone. Hardware refers to any computer equipment used, including the computer itself, the keyboard, screen (or the monitor), the disc-drive, and the printer. Software (computer programs) refers to the sets of instructions which need to be loaded into the computer for it to be able to work.
