To this end, a sample of 50 male and female EFL learners was drawn from an English language institute in Iran. After participating in a proficiency pretest, these participants were assigned into two experimental and control groups, 25 and 25, respectively. An independent sample t-test was administered to find out if there were salient differences between the findings of the two selected groups in their reading test. The key research question was to see providing learners with computer-assisted instruction during the processes of learning and instruction for learners would have an affirmative influence upon the improvement and development of their reading skill. The results pinpointed computer-assisted instruction users' performance was meaningfully higher than that of nonusers (DF = 48, P < 05). The consequences revealed that computer-assisted language learning and computer technology application have resulted in a greater promotion of students' reading improvement. In other words, computer-assisted instruction users outperformed the nonusers. The research, therefore, highlights the conclusion that EFL learners' use of computer-assisted instruction has the potential to promote more effective reading ability. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
