Before implementing and/or adapting Computer Asisted Language Learning (CALL) materials, Vietnamese teachers of French ought to examine the design (Warschauer & Healy) of whatever resources they are going to use in the classroom. But there are certainly ways to test CALL documents with students, ahead of research results. We will suggest an avenue to introduce a CALL model drawn from programs used in a western environment (Canada, France) which could be appropriately tailored to a regional Vietnamese university, taking into account such constraints as program and facilities. We will present the outcomes of a limited experimentation with students taking French for special purposes.
