CALL+Teacher

I was looking for the characteristics of a good CALL teacher, I found an interesting article which would remind us of the most important aspects of being a CALL teacher, hope it will be useful.

Jeremy Jones(2001) in an article entitled" //CALL and the teachers' role in promoting learner autonomy//" mentions that CALL teachers require two kinds of pedagogical preparations:

"1. Technical training to anticipate the needs of technical novices in everything from the word processing to web searches and MOO.....It also serves_let us be frank_to save teacher from losing face at moments when the teacher is supposed to have a greater competence than the student.

2.Training in the ability to deal sensitively with students".

=== //**At first I should thank you for sharing these points about CALL teachers, I read the article completely and found it really interesting. But I just wanna know if you really think teachers' role are more crucial or significant than learners' themselves in their autonomy?!**// ===
