The Possiblity of Reaching Bax’s Normilasation in our Saudi context: Why is it possible?When is it possible/reached/achieved?How will it be reached?

In the article of Stephan Bax we found that he discussed the development of the CALL through the past, present and future. Also, we found the three phases of CALL which divided previously by Mark Warschauer. These phases are structural, communicative, integrative.Bax said that call will reach the stage of normalization when computers are used every day in our classrooms of learning language by students and teachers.Also, CALL will reach this state when teachers and students well trained how to use it without fear.

Normalization means to integrate CALL ( computer assisted language learning ) in education in a way that learners and teachers do not recognize it as a technology but as an integral part of language teaching.

This article seeks answers to three questions: where has Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) been, where is it now and where is it going?

He suggested to plan for this normalized state and then move towards it.

1- The first step is to identify the criteria factors which normalization requires.

2- The second is to audit the practice of each teaching context in the light of these criteria.

3- The final step is to adjust our current practice in each aspect so as to encourage normalization.

Finally, he mentioned the seven stages of normalization in CALL from early adaptors, ignorance/skepticism, try once, try again, fear/awe, normalizing, until we finally reach normalization.

In Saudi Arabia most of the schools and universities follow the traditional way of teaching, but nowadays with all these development, many schools and universities improved their educational system, they started to use computers, smart boards and projectors in the classroom. To achieve normalization in Saudi Arabia, we need to educate the students and parents about technology and how useful it can be in classrooms or anywhere else. Also, teachers need to be encourage and motivated to use it, and above of all, to believe in its benefits. It is not difficult to achieve normalization in Saudi Arabia; we just need time, knowledge and changes in our educational system.
