The focus of this paper is on three aspects of class teaching that the teacher found presented a challenge during her teaching practice. For each aspect, the nature of the difficulties and the challenges are described and deciphered. In addition, various strategies that the teacher explored and experimented in order to meet those challenges are outlined and elucidated in terms of their effectiveness. This process is interwoven with the nurturing of pedagogical knowledge of the teacher, which is developed from her reflective practices. This paper also highlights some of the teacher's plans and thoughts on dealing with those challenges in the future. Implications for teaching practice are also discussed.

Regardless of these periodic changes and improvements, successful implementation of CALL programs in schools decisively hinges on critical assessment and decisions that are undertaken by schools. As such, the responsibility of the technology adopters in this respect must reflect school's aspirations and understandably, students' abilities, interests and needs. This paper attempts to clarify these issues through a case study of implementation of CALL in an urban secondary school in Malaysia. The outcome of the case study establishes critical considerations that need to be arbitrated to successfully implement CALL programs for English language teaching (ELT) at the school level.

Current practices in Malaysian English language classrooms do not emphasize the importance of employing metacognitive reading strategies to facilitate critical understanding of the reading text and meaningful engagement between the learner and the text. A glance at literature reviews in the Malaysian context also indicates the shallow nature of understanding of metacognitive strategies of good learners. The benefits of examining good readers' metacognitive strategies are farreaching. Teachers armed with such useful knowledge can learn more about how to ignite and improve weaker learners' general reading capabilities thus leading to successful comprehension of reading materials. Such a powerful tool in the hands of teachers can lead to positive changes and outcomes in the classroom situation, as far as the teaching and learning of reading comprehension is concerned.
