Knowledge must be drilled and practiced and most importantly broken into a sequential series of small steps, each covering a particular skill of subject domain.
Learning is done through analyzing the structure of the language and drilling
Purpose: To master language rules by constant imitation and mechanical drills to form habits
Program sequence: Stimulus-Reflection- Consolidation
The technology (computer) is tutor or tool that offers input the student can drill and practice;
Ideal for carrying out repeated drills and providing non-judgmental feedback
Disadvantages: does not consider the activities and processes of the brain; Promotes passive mentality of seeking right answers only]]> 2020-05-17 19:44:58 UTC https://padlet.com/manatsergazina/m1gpxkutjxj35r27/wish/578359218 Communicative CALL manatsergazina https://padlet.com/manatsergazina/m1gpxkutjxj35r27/wish/578364378 Human brain is considered to be an information processor.
