    CALL has been used since the 1960s and 1970s

    When the audio-lingual method was widely used. This provided students with drills and practice. In this phase, the computer is used as a tutor, presenting drill exercises without feed-back component, i.e. not including interactive components. Seljan, S., Berger, N., & Dovedan, Z. (2004).

    Transition from CAI to web-based learning

    The research agenda began to shift toward Web-based learning. This marked the transition from CAI research to the emergence of initial stage of web-based learning research.

    Web-based learning increased

    Web-based learning research icreased substantially between 1996 and 2000

    teachers must focus on basic pedagogical requirements
    Warschauer and P. W. Whittaker suggest that in order to make effective use of new technologies, teachers must take a step back and focus on some basic pedagogical requirements
  • Period: to

    2694 journal papers were published between 1997 to 2005

    2694 journal papers were published between 1997 to 2005 in the four major educational computing journals: Computers & Education, Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, British Journal of Educational technology and Educational Technology & Society
  • Period: to

    Web-based learning related research was dominant

    Web-based learning related research was dominant from 2001 until 2005. Research increased much more than in the previous period.

    Internet have provided an incredible language learning applications
    According to Seljan, Berger, Dovedan, the Internet and the World Wide Web have provided an incredible language learning applications, offering a wide variety of educational programs, resources, software, journals, organizations, software tutorials including all types of exercises for grammar drills, vocabulary, listening and pronunciations exercises, games, electronic dictionaries, etc.

    The clicking and typing behaviour could also be analysed with a view to identifying online learning strategies and navigational patterns

    Research lead to more accurate quantitative analysis

    Recent publications on LA for CALL (Hwu, 2013; Yu & Zhao, 2015) underline the research potential of online student behaviour data to lead to more accurate quantitative analysis since modern tracking technologies allow for data collection on all subjects (and not just a sample) in real (rather than experimental) learning situations.
