Abstract

Globalization has made technology a key source of information and not only a
tool for education. Similarly, language is seen as a source of knowledge and
information in addition to being used for communication. The modern generation now
relies heavily on computers in their daily lives. They feel far more at ease using
computer technology to learn than they do with more conventional methods. Keeping
this in mind makes using computer technology for teaching and learning more
successful. Computer-assisted language learning, or CALL, is bringing about a
revolution in the field of language teaching. The field of language education is
undergoing a revolution as a result of computer-assisted language learning, also known
as CALL.
