THE FIRST TOURNAMENT
Wimbledon is very popular as the first Tennis tournament in the world. Yet according to research, there is a tennis tournament held in Nahant, Massachusetts, United States, in August 1876, one year before Wimbledon was held in 1877.
In 1870, the original court of All England Croquet and Lawn Tennis Club located at Worple Road, next to the main street of London-Portsmouth railway. In 1875, the club agreed to increase the number of games with lawn tennis and badminton. Two years later, on July 10, they held a meeting, which was then followed by a tennis match.

Development of science and technology has now achieved a remarkable progress support in all areas. One of the technology developments is computer. Computer plays very important roles in human’s life and has made significant changes in all aspects including the language teaching especially in English Language Teaching (ELT) (Huw Jarvis). The teachers do not only rely on textbooks as teaching materials, but also can use computers and the Internet and the software to achieve purpose of teaching and learning activities in class. To computer-based teaching is called as the Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) and put the computer as a medium of learning. Language center is the most widely applied CALL for Self Access Center (SAC) where students are required to study independently. The presence of CALL brought many changes in the way that language taught and it also has changed the role of teacher and administrators in the language centers. For that Jeremy F. Jones wrote an article entitled CALL and the responsibility of teachers and administrators who expressly says that the role of the teacher can never be replaced even by the most sophisticated computer. Jones also invites us to change our views about CALL itself. We may not see the computers as the self-standing sources for students and fully self-accessed. The roles of human teachers are really needed even in teaching learning where CALL is implemented. DR Jones is a Senior Lecturer in the Program of TESOL and Foreign Language Teaching. He has had many years of experience teaching both English as a foreign or second language and language teacher education. In addition to his work in Australia, he has taught in Canada, England, the Middle East, Cambodia, Vietnam, Japan and China.[1]
