Focus Groups
CALL Trainers at Teacher of English to Speakers of Other Languages Convention (TESOL)
Formal training has continued to increase over past decade Training should be inextricably linked to pedagogy Most training occurs as in-service or incidental training
Other Teacher Trainers at TESOL CALL is out of my grasp and we don’t have a specialist to do
it Funding isn’t available to expand right now There are too many other issues central to training of
teachers Those who are interested will “pick it up”
Interviews General sense of desire to implement, but overwhelmed by
limitations

Research Questions
1. Are TESOL masters degree programs with a CALL component evaluated more positively than those with no CALL component?
3. Is there a relationship between satisfaction with informal CALL training and satisfaction with formal CALL training?
4. Is there a relationship between attitude toward technology and satisfaction with formal CALL training?
![Page 19: CALL in TESOL Teacher Training Greg Kessler Ohio University](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062408/5681358c550346895d9cf4a1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Research Hypothesis for Question 1:
(Mann-Whitney Test of Medians)H0: There is no difference in median scores between
the ranking of TESOL masters degree programs of study which include CALL and those which do not include CALL.
HA: There is a difference in median scores between the ranking of TESOL masters degree programs of study which include CALL and those which do not include CALL.

The Research Question for Question 2:
(Multiple Regression)H0: The independent variables, perception of
informal teaching preparation and perception of formal teaching preparation are not significant predictors of the dependent variable, attitude toward technology.
HA: The independent variables, perception of informal teaching preparation and perception of formal teaching preparation are significant predictors of the dependent variable, attitude toward technology.

Research Hypothesis:
H0: The independent variables, informal teaching preparation and attitude toward technology are not significant predictors of the dependent variable, formal CALL preparation as a component of a language teacher preparation program.
HA: The independent variables, informal teaching preparation and attitude toward technology are significant predictors of the dependent variable, formal CALL preparation as a component of a language teacher preparation program.
