STUDENT REFLECTIONS ON COMPUTER-ASSISTED LEARNING WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THEIR COURSE BOOKS

Abstract

Computer-Assisted English Language Learning (CAELL) is an integral part of language education in Oman. It is viewed as a powerful way of learning a language and a tool for improving learning and teaching experiences. The Foundation Program (FP) at Dhofar University (DU) offers English language courses that use technology such as computers, the internet, and projectors. The FP has introduced the new Unlock Series of books that support CAELL across the three levels of the English Language Unit. The present paper focuses on learners’ reflections on CAELL with a special focus on the new Unlock Series course books. It was found that both the students and teachers have positive perceptions toward CAELL and the use of the new Unlock Series of books.
