Normalisation of Bax in the Saudi Kingdom

1-In this article Bax discussed the development of the CALL through the past, present and future. And he suggested some changes of achieving nomalisations that concept means when the computers become as a part of our life. Moreover he explains the CALL stages which were divided by Warschauer:

· Behavioristic CALL

· Communicative CALL

· Integrated CALL.

Behavioristic CALL, is the most acceptable and would engage most agreement. But the other two are not. In addition he assumed that the CALL will extension to the normalization level when the technology become used as a normal thing in our lives also during the teaching and learning process. Moreover he explained some approaches which they are Restricted CALL that from the 1960s until about 1980. And Open CALL that from the 1980s until today.

2- (A) Bax suggested some change of achieving nomalisations that when the teachers use the computers as part of their lesson. Moreover he divided the means into three steps, they are:

1- Identify the critical factors which require the nomalisation.

2- Examination the practice of each teaching context.

3- Adjust the practice in each aspect to encourage the normalization.

2- (B) In my opinion, I think the Saudi Arabia’s schools started using technology at some classes. Moreover, I think the ministry of education will start to train their students and teachers to use technology in their classroom. And also they will try to provide many computers, projectors and internet in their schools. So, they still need many efforts to reached "normilasation" to achieve the required level.
