CALL Implementation Processes & Marketing Sale Trainings

...

Due to the diversity of realities within the educational markets in South America, is imperative to receive deep and professional training sessions. Effective CALL Consultor Trainners are part of the key for the implementation of these technologies inside of universities and schools, they facilitate institutions to introduce these metods among their students, and teachers.

During the last four years I have

attended different training seminars in Salt Lake City Utah, Dallas Texas, San Diego California, and Ft. Lauderdale Florida, most of these training sessions, emphasize on the academic implementation, and installation processes where ESL/EFL/ ELT consultors provide their academic experience, advice and contingent in the different sessions..

As a result of those, I concluded that

there are two main scenarios to consider when implementing Technology to learn Languages :

a)Communicative CALL tools, b) Integrative CALL methodologies...

Each of these two correspond to a certain level of technology and certain pedagogical theories. The reasons for using Computer-assisted Language Learning include:

(a) experiential learning
(b) motivation
(c) enhance student achievement
(d) authentic materials for study
(e) greater interaction
(f) individualization
(g) independence from a single source of information
(h) global understanding.

Besides all these facts, I would add that Skills Acquisition Requires Practice..., that is why it is important to keep in mind:

1. THAT LEARNERS PRACTICE

Conventional Instruction overemphasizes text and memorization.

2. HOW LEARNERS PRACTICE

Those who don't practice.... Effectively waste Time

3. WHAT LEARNERS PRACTICE

Should be clearly targeted, and task-oriented
