چکیده مقاله

The aim of the current study was to examine the ideas of students and instructors towards Computer-Assisted language learning (CALL) at schools and private language institutes. To this end, 400 high school and junior high school students and 200 English instructors were chosen from schools and language institutes in Ark to participate in the study. The participants took the Attitudes towards CALL (A-CALL) questionnaire. SPSS programming (variant 19) was utilized to investigate the data. In SPSS, descriptive statistics were utilized to get the rate, mean, and standard deviation to obtain the overall attitudes of learners and educators toward CALL. Also, free example t-tests (one for learners and the other for instructors) were used to decide if there were significant differences between the attitudes of learners and English teachers towards CALL at school and private institutes. The results indicated that the two groups of instructors accepted that utilizing CALL can build learners' participation rate and can make testing more straightforward and quicker. The members, for the most part, had positive outlooks towards many items. The majority of the learners studying at both schools and language institutes indicated that applying PCs in language learning is productive in lessening pressure, improving inspiration and cooperation, and making language interesting.
