Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants Revisited: A Case of CALL

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to examine the uses of CALL among students and teachers in Cyprus private secondary education. The notions of digital native and digital immigrant are revisited as part of the framework set for understanding the current situation in CALL exploitation and future potential within and beyond the classroom walls. A survey investigation is conducted for the collection of the data. Results indicate that a third category of users emerges, the ‘inbetweeners’ who may have a key role to play in CALL integration.
