In this paper an attempt is made to evolve a Remedial Grammar (RG) which enables the teacher to develop a repertoire of remedial activities based on the errors identified following Error Analysis (EA) for repeated presentation.

文摘Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) has been in use as a learner centered method since 1960.
