Virtual CALL Library

The Virtual CALL Library aims to be a central point of access to the diverse collection of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) software scattered across the Internet and available for downloading.

Please choose from the languages listed on the left.

How does it work?
No software is stored here. Each program's name forms a clickable link to download the package from its location elsewhere on the Internet. As far as possible, this will connect to the 'master distribution site' where new releases are uploaded, perhaps the author's website. Alternatively, there may be a link to download from one of the major software archives - e.g. Simtel or WinSite.

Shareware and freeware
Most software linked from this site is shareware - this is copyrighted software that is freely distributed with the requirement that payment is made to the author if the program is found to be useful. Some of the packages are freeware - this is also copyrighted, but no payment is expected. Commercial software is not generally listed, but we have some links which should help you.

Some of the software accessible from here is compressed using the ZIP format. You will need an unzipping (decompression) program to use the software downloaded: Windows users could try WinZip or the freeware ZipCentral.

If you know of any useful CALL shareware or freeware not listed here, and to tell me of updates, corrections and suggestions, please e-mail me: M.R.Platts@sussex.ac.uk
