The aim of these pages is to offer both  language learners and teachers a wide range of CALL (=Computer Assisted Language Learning) and e-learning materials. However, they do not intend to cover all the aspects of the highly complex and context dependent process that the acquisition of a foreign language supposes. The use of computers in this field of human activity (as well as in any other) should focus on features that really require the application of this technology, or, at least, where computers have a real advantage over conventional solutions. The language learning process necessarily includes a lot of mechanical activities (assimilating and consolidating  new vocabulary items or the basic grammatical structures, discovering and filling up the lacks of knowledge, etc. ); their intensity and effectiveness can be increased to a great extent by the use of electronic means with a concomitant reduction of their monotony. If you want to read several pages of continuous texts, turn off the computer and go and fetch a book. It's much better for your eyes and for the computer, too. The same, you don't need to use the computer in order to listen to dialogues or monologues, to see a video clip or a movie, and so on. And above all, computers aren't yet capable of supporting any spontaneous communication that is so important in the process of language acquisition. On the other hand, if you want to do a multiple choice test, memorise vocabulary items, assimilate new grammatical phenomena, forms and basic functions, there is nothing better (more efficient and less monotonous and time-consuming) than the computer with software developed explicitly for  these features. Thus language learners (and teachers) won't find on this site materials aimed at substituting whole courseware: all of the items included here will be offering users a highly specific service: testing their level of competence in grammar, vocabulary, reading or listening comprehension or even writing or speaking skills, etc.; presenting a given grammatical phenomenon or structure (for example the forms and basic functions of possessive pronouns in English) or a given range of vocabulary items (for example the basic words denoting pieces of furniture), getting them practised and checking the results of these activities.

At present, KaleidoVox's offer of learning materials is rather reduced, and is mainly limited to Hungarian and Spanish. Nevertheless, we hope that in the future, by means of a step by step enlargement,  it will be able to satisfy basic needs of a great number of foreign language learners (and teachers). So, as far as we can, we intend to widen our offer continuously, completing it with at least one item every week.
