Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject Pedagogy - Media Pedagogy, grade: B, University of Education (Department of English Language), course: Technology for Language Teaching and Learning, language: English, abstract: This paper delves into the underexplored intersection of Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) and literature education, focusing on the innovative application of CALL in teaching characterization. While CALL has been widely acknowledged for its contributions to language education, its relevance to literature teaching remains a subject of debate. Drawing on the conceptualization of innovation by Rogers (2003), we examine how CALL serves as a bridge between technology and the literature classroom. Through a literature review, we explore the existing landscape of CALL studies, emphasizing the gap in literature teaching. The paper then presents an analysis of quiz results, highlighting the effectiveness of CALL in teaching characterization. The findings underscore the potential of CALL in literature education, offering insights for educators and researchers alike.
