Abstract:
Because the use of technology is widespread in numerous fields and domains, without doubt, it also carries great potential for educational use, specifically second and foreign language education. This paper therefore attempts to answer the following questions: 1) what is Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL)? 2) What does CALL offer to university students? 3) Which role does the Internet play in the domain of English Language Learning (ELL)? 4) Have computer and internet been invented to serve the needs of teaching and learning English as a second foreign language? In order to understand how the inclusion of technological devices (Computer and Internet) plays a crucial role in ELL, this paper considers the extent to which these devices can be helpful for teaching purposes at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Meknes. Therefore, Results revealed that the computer and the internet have been invented to facilitate and improve the learning/teaching process which in turn invites the Moroccan government to integrate these technological devices at the university.
Keywords: CALL, computer, education, Internet, technology.
