Sažetak
Computers have been used for teaching languages, so for EAP (English for Academic Purposes), since the 1960s. The first Computer-Assisted Language Learning programs were mainly used for manipulating words and sentences, playing games with students, testing them, and giving feedback on their performance. Computers have often been described as the 'medium of the second chance' and risk-taking. The activities usually let students try more than once to get a correct answer. One can make mistakes without other students knowing. As Computers became more powerful, and multimedia software more practical, in the early 1990s CD-ROMs emerged, storing complete audio and video language courses, with texts and graphics. The challenges presented to students and lecturers by the Internet can provide more interesting, rewarding experience, like deciding how to exploit resources and how to use the new media language. What sort of language-learning activities are the Internet and the World Wide Web?
