在过去的十年中，由生态心理学家 James Gibson (1986) 创造的“可供性”一词已成为 CALL 研究中的流行词。该概念通常用于表示技术提供的可能性，现已从人机交互 (HCI) 等同源领域引入 CALL。然而，CALL 社区尚未就其对 CALL 研究和设计的意义和有用性进行深入讨论。这个概念仍然令人困惑，经常被误解，有时甚至被误用。本章介绍可供性的概念，旨在阐明其含义以及在 CALL 中的潜在应用。在简要概述吉布森的可供性理论之后，它提出并讨论了与 CALL 研究人员和设计师特别相关的领先的人机交互解释和可供性概念化。更具体地说，它阐述了人机交互认知主义和后认知主义的可供性观点，然后探讨它们与 CALL 可供性的关系以及它们在 CALL 研究议程中的可能位置，特别关注学习者与计算机的交互。
In the last decade, the term "affordance", coined by the ecological psychologist James Gibson (1986), has become a buzzword in CALL research. Often used to denote possibilities offered by technologies, the concept has been imported into CALL from cognate domains, such as human-computer Interaction (HCI). However, the CALL community has yet to engage in in-depth discussions on its meaning and usefulness for CALL research and design. The concept remains confusing, often misunderstood, and, at times, misused. This chapter provides an introduction to the concept of affordances, with a view to clarify its meaning and potential applications within CALL. Following a brief overview of Gibson's theory of affordance, it presents and discusses leading HCI interpretations and conceptualizations of affordance that are particularly relevant to CALL researchers and designers. More specifically, it explicates HCI cognitivist and post-cognitivist views of affordances before exploring their relation to CALL affordances and their possible place within a CALL research agenda focusing more particularly on learner-computer interactions.
