Questions
Do task conditions present sufcient opportunity for focus on form? Is the difculty level of the targeted linguistic forms appropriate for the learners to increase their language ability? Is learners attention directed primarily toward the meaning of the language? Is there a correspondence between the CALL task and second language tasks of interest to students outside the classroom? Will learners learn more about the target language and about strategies for language learning through the use of the task? Are hardware, software,and personnel resources sufcient to allow the CALL task to succeed?
