Abstract

Currently, computer assisted language learning (CALL) is widely accepted to be a tool which can be used to facilitate the language learning process. This study aimed to investigate the effect of computer-assisted language learning on Iranian high school student writing achievement. The sample of the study consisted of sixty students distributed randomly on experimental and control groups before instruction, both groups were pre-tested. Both studied the same writing textbook for 12 weeks. In addition, the experimental group was exposed to the software. At the end of the treatment, both groups were post-tested. The findings of the study indicated that using computer-assisted English language instruction alongside the traditional method has a positive effect on the experimental group students’ achievement.
