: "Application of Bax Normilasation in Saudi Arabia: The how!"

Stephan Bax argues that, "Our aim should be to attain a state of `normalisation' in which the technology is invisible and truly integrated"

This article study of the history of the CALL(Computer Assisted language learning ), in the past present and future,,Then we found the answer of the question. Where has call been?. refers to five main literature sources and divides them into two kinds: the properly researched and the interpretative.

After that, we can also notice the three types of call which are:

1-Behaviouristic

2-Communicative

3-‘Integrative.

 Another important point is Structural CALL was previously called Behaviouristic

CALL whereas previously it was described as ‘‘conceived”. A another thing is,Bax called the “Behaviouristic CALL” as ‘Restricted CALL’ because it doesn’t refer only to a supposed underlying theory of learning but also to the actual software and activity types in use at the time. The second phase which is“Communicative CALL” become “Open CALL” as Bax called it. The third one is “Integrated CALL” instead of “Integrative CALL”.

Then Bax suggested how the normilasation can be acceptably.He talked about the books and the pen as tools of technology. He also said, the call will be extend when computer will used by student and teacher in classroom as tool for teaching them.  In other hand, Then he argue that they need action research in personal  environments to identify barriers to normalization and ways of overcoming them and This is will be difficult process.

I think most of the schools in saudia Arabia use computers as a tool but some of them still use the traditional way of teaching. We need to apply call in our schools but we need many process , I think it’s not easy to change our style but it is not impossible too!.We most use computers in our daily life as we use pen and book. The teacher should encourage her student to use networks and also the teacher should not use the traditional way of teaching, like board, book and pen. Today we can see some university and schools using smart board and PowerPoint which is a good point for us.  At the end I hope to improve our education by using technology instead the traditional way  ..
