Abstract

The potential of computers to support learning and teaching m almost all subject areas is now widely accepted. At ail levels of education computers aid teachers to enrich their learning/teaching environment. In the field of language education, especially English as a second/foreign language (ESL/EFL) computer-assisted learning has acted as an indirect boost to enhance language proficiency. While there are controversies about the impact of computer on teaching and learning, it would seem appropriate to investigate the features of such resources which may have an influence on different learning settings and regarding various skills (Light, 1997).
