How are CALL, e-learning, or blended learning applied?
CALL utilizes feedback software (for example, to distinguish between short and long adjectives).
In contrast, other learning approaches emphasize autonomy and synchronous interaction.
In blended learning, material is reviewed independently online, while class time is reserved for communicative oral interaction and activities that enhance learning.
