IMP MCQs

1. Using effective and suitable software applications, CALL can provide communicative meaningful language learning environments.

2. In traditional CALL, the methodology was often claimed to be based on a behaviouristic approach as in “programmable teaching”,

3. BBC computer, Apple II, and IBM PC, began to increase in the early 1980s.

4. In the field of CALL, we study about the language teaching and learning process by using Computers.

5. MUDs were originally developed in 1978 by Roy Trubshaw.

6. A computer is ideal for carrying out repeated drills, since the machine does not get bored with presenting the same material and since it can provide immediate non-judgmental feedback.

7. The learner was allowed to enter and explore documentary-style depictions of reality in the city of Paris in À la rencontre de Phillippe a CALL application.

8.

9. The first computers used for language learning were large 1950s main-frames that were only available at university campus research facilities.

10. The large 1950s main-frames first computers used for language learning were only available at University’s research facilities.

11. Learners retain language knowledge or skills longer, make deeper associations and learn more of what they need is considered in learning effectiveness perspective of CALL operation.

12. BBC computer, Apple II, and IBM PC are the examples of micro-computer introduced in the early 1980s.

13. Gale (1989) describes Macario as an early videodisc program for learning Spanish.

14. A Computer is ideal for carrying out repeated drills, since the machine does not get bored with presenting the same material and since it can provide immediate nonjudgmental feedback.

15. The student follows the course of a film in Macario and cannot vary from it so Macario is essentially a linear program.

16. In computer world www stands for world wide web.

17. In the game Montevidisco, the videodisc introduces a plaza where the learner is confronted by a local citizen.

18. Montevidisco, a simulation for learning Spanish, were developed during 1980s was the example of random-access laser videodisc.

19. However, despite greater user-friendliness, and effectiveness, CALL will never replace the teachers.

20. Among the first significant applications for the teaching/learning of language at the computer were those used on the PLATO system, developed in 1959 by the University of Illinois.
