Abstract :The use of educational technology to assist learners in their language studies has become a great concern for scholars over the past decade. YADIM (School for Foreign Languages) at Çukurova University in Turkey has invested substantially to introduce students to computer-based language learning materials and to integrate technology into existing curriculum. This paper reports on attitudes of YADİM students towards the use of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) and their perceptions on CALL’s relevancy to their regular classroom work. Surveys and follow-up interviews explored how learners see the role of the instructor and the accessibility of the labs. The paper also looks at how students assess the impact of technology on their language learning process.
