This web site will give current and prospective CALL teachers a large variety of exercises and samples of actual CALL lessons which they can either use in their own classes or use as a model for integrating CALL into ESL/EFL classes.  It will also demonstrate how a variety of technology tools can be utilized in enhancing student learning through  multimedia CALL lessons.  In addition to various skills, the lessons improve the learners' computer-literacy and social skills through hands-on work with the technology and collaboration/interaction with other learners.
