摘要：AbstractOur synthesis of up-to-date research literature and our own professional work in computer-aided language learning (CALL) and self-access language learning (SALL) have led us to propose a 5- point computer-aided self-access language learning (or CASA-LL) framework that combines the best of both worlds as it were, in terms of e-course development and online English language teaching and learning. Based on this framework, we set out to elicit the opinions of e-course developers and online learning managers who focus on English language teaching and learning through virtual environments and platforms. In this study, we report primarily on the asynchronous interview data we collected from senior course developers and online learning managers who are working in the tertiary education sector in Indonesia, Malaysia and New Zealand. Results from open-ended narrative interviews with these experts suggest that our CASA- LL framework is a positive step ahead for both computer-aided language learning (CALL) and self-access language learning (SALL). Nevertheless, our research participants also told us that there are many obstacles that they need to overcome to make certain that English language teaching and learning in virtual environments and platforms fully subscribe to the five key criteria that we have outlined in the CASA-LL framework.
