The Significance of Social Presence in Integrative CALL
The rapid growth of online education has transformed the way languages are taught and learned worldwide. With the continuous advancement of technology and the increasing reliance on digital platforms, understanding the role of social presence in computer-assisted language learning (CALL) has become crucial. This article highlights the significance of fostering social and communicative interaction in integrative CALL environments. By doing so, it sheds light on how online learners, teachers, and CALL practitioners can enhance engagement, collaboration, and overall language learning effectiveness in virtual classrooms. The Growing Importance of Online Education The prevalence of the internet has profoundly affected many aspects of society, including higher education, where the demand for online learning is growing exponentially (Baker, 2010). Over the last few years, online course enrollments have continued to grow at rates far in excess of the total higher education student population. This rapid increase of interest in online education, particularly among the young learners, provides a fertile ground for empirical research on how and why this relatively well-established yet still evolving medium can be used to continually improve our language learning and teaching experience.
