“…The course material from Debski (2006) was modified by the researcher to fit the project-based methodology of this CALL teacher development program. The focus of the course, as per Debski's (2006) academic work, is not on a repertory of unities to be systematically created, but rather on applying the course materials whenever the assignments with a focus on results provide the chance to do so (Torsani, 2019). The researcher ensured the validity of the techniques and material by taking this action.…”

“…The significance of CALTIT is underscored by the increased scholarly focus on the use of "information and communications technology" (ICT) in teaching as well as the public and professional curiosity in language teaching (Kimmons & Hall, 2016;Tai, 2015). Torsani (2019) delineates three primary models documented in the literature to expound upon the proliferation of CALL teacher education trends. These models comprise instructional approaches like the 'Role-based Model, sociocultural frameworks' like 'online CoPs, and expertise and ability acquisition methods like the Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) Model.…”

“…According to Hubbard and Levy (2006), these categories included classroom instructor, CALL specialist, expert vs adjunct, researcher, trainer, and developer as well as institutional functions. According to Torsani (2019), the third pattern in CALL teacher education integrates sociocultural frameworks that support the interpersonal communication promoted in virtual learning environments. In other words, it is thought that learning to teach happens most effectively in environments that value cooperation, introspection, analytical thinking, dialogue, and negotiation (Palloff & Pratt, 2007).…”

“…According to Torsani (2019), the first two CALL teacher development models need additional empirical support because they are abstract. The expertise and skills learning frameworks, such as the TPACK Approach, which has been applied in recent research to create useful approaches to teacher education in CALL, are the main focus of the current study.…”

This research examines how Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) instructors are currently using technology in language instruction, the difficulties they encounter, how Computer Assisted Language Learning Teacher Preparation Program (CALLTPP) affects English Language Teachers (ELTs) professional development and technology integration and the implications of CALLTIT for teacher education programs. During a six-month blended learning program called CALLTPP, five CALL teachers engaged in online sessions and asynchronous communication to improve their comprehension and use of CALL in the classroom. Convenience sampling was used to choose the participants, who then submitted narratives summarizing their experiences. The narratives' thematic analysis showed that CALLTPPs had a favorable impact on ELTs' capacity for incorporating technology and professional development. Participants stated that they felt more competent and confident when incorporating technology, which increased learning outcomes and pupil engagement. On the other hand, difficulties including perceived complexity and a lack of formal CALL education were noted. In addition to highlighting the necessity of continuing support and training for CALL teachers, the study underscores the significance of digital literacy and pedagogical understanding for successful CALL integration.
