CALL is a new way of learning and teaching language. It is proved that CALL mainly has positive effects on educational contexts. Although teachers believe that CALL will have positive effect in the process of learning a language, they prefer the traditional methods. The reason is that they do not have a guide to work based on it. As a result, this study tries to design a CALL-based lesson plan to suggest not only the teachers, but also the students to examine the benefits of the method.  \nKeywords: Comprehension, CALL, Lesson plan  \n1. Introduction  \nDuring the process of learning a language, we deal with four skills of reading, speaking, writing, and listening. Among these four skills, reading receives the main focus for many reasons such as being able to read for educational purposes, for future jobs, for pleasure, for information. According to Chastain (1988) “reading is a process involving the activation of relevant knowledge and related language skills to accomplish an exchange of information from one person to another.” (p.216) . Nunan (2006) considers reading as an active skill and unlike speaking, it is not something that every individual learns to do. He believes that “an enormous amount of time, money, and effort is spent teaching reading around the world.”(p.249) As soon as a child is exposed to a language he/she has to start with his/her reading skill. The crucial thing for becoming fluent readers is learning how to comprehend what they read.  \nReading comprehension involves several tasks like reading, knowing the meaning of words, being aware of idioms and expressions and so on. As a result, it is so important to find a way to help the students to learn how to comprehend a text.  \nAccording to Duke and Pearson (2002) research on reading comprehension has a long and rich history. Myriad studies in the literature have examined the nature of reading comprehension as a process and about effective reading comprehension instruction. Without knowing how to comprehend a text, one cannot understand the meaning of a text. Although there are a lot of researches on reading comprehension, the students still face a lot of problems (Nunan, 2006.P.249) . All the time the researchers are working on this issue to find an effective way for teaching reading comprehension.  \nIn the process of learning, there are a lot of changes in human thoughts and the way of solving the problem of learning a language. In psychology, we can mention these changes from behaviorism to cognitivism and now to constructivism, which is the foundation of CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning) (Cooper, 1993) . Constructivism theory is based on experimenting. Constructivists believed that when we learn something, we should provide a relationship between new notions and old ones. Among different ways of teaching reading comprehension, the researcher chose the newest one, which is CALL. CALL is somehow a new issue in teaching environment as it started in 1960s and70s;","cbCaimJo50OXAmrj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimJo50OXAmrj","pdf",154846,"English","# Introduction\n## Reading skills and comprehension\n## CALL and teaching reading comprehension\n# Review of Related Literature\n## Nature of reading comprehension\n## Types of reading comprehension","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study aims to provide a CALL-based lesson plan for teaching reading comprehension to Iranian intermediate EFL learners.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the study focus on CALL-based teaching rather than traditional methods?\",\"answer\":\"Although CALL is believed to have positive effects, teachers prefer traditional methods because they lack a guide to implement CALL.\"},{\"question\":\"What research questions does the study investigate?\",\"answer\":\"It asks how to use CALL to teach reading skills and how to produce a CALL-based lesson plan that helps students comprehend texts better and independently.\"}]","A CALL-based Lesson Plan for Teaching Reading Comprehension to Iranian Intermediate EFL Learners | PDF",1792067759,15]
