Normalisation of Bax in the Saudi Kingdom



        Bax argues that, "Our aim should be to attain a state of `normalisation' in which the technology is invisible and truly integrated.
        The article talks about the history of CALL and its three categories which are Restricted, Open and Integrated and we are currently using the second approach  as it suggested. Our aims hould be to attain a state of ‘normalisation’ in which the technology is invisible and truly integrated. It also finds answers of three questions where has Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) been, where is it now and where is it going?
        Warschauer’s within it discuss the phases of CALL. These phases are: Structural CALL1970s-1980s, Communicative CALL1980s-1990s and Integrative CALL 21st Century.
        We can achieve normalization if we use computers everyday in language learning, the teacher and the students.

    In Saudi Arabia, the teachers were teaching by using traditional method. Nowadays, many schools tend to use technologies and with coming years I don't think that we will have any schools without technologies. Another thing that I think  Ministry of Education  will change the policy or at least make classrooms of language learning with technologies.
