| Research Abstract |
The present project aimed at empirically investigating the effects of CALL teacher training on learners as well as on teachers, and exploring how teacher training should be conducted to benefit learners. Analysis of data from five language teachers and 304 language learners indicated that the short-term teacher training conducted in the study was not effective, even with teachers attempting to integrate the knowledge gained from the training sessions into their classrooms. The results suggest that more intensive and long-term teacher training is necessary to benefit language learners.
