Normalisation of ICT
Normalisation can be defined as the stage in which ‘CALL finally becomes invisible,
serving the needs of learners and integrated into every teachers’ everyday practice’
(Bax, 2003: 27). The concept was recently revisted (Bax, 2011), which was felt
necessary because of the changes in technology use, especially the internet, which
has become ‘a high-stakes environment that pervades work, education, interpersonal
communication, and, not least, intimate relationship building and maintenance’
(Thorne and Black, 2007: 149).
