The effectiveness of Computer Assisted Language Learning on IELTS learners' proficiency level and Engagement level

Abstract

This study tried to explore the effectiveness of Computer Assisted Language Learning on IELTS learners' proficiency level and their engagement level. Thirty Iranian IELTS learners were assigned into high and low groups based on their scores on Oxford Placement Test. Both groups had to answer an Academic Mock test selected from the book Cambridge 10 before and after the instruction as the pretest and posttest. Furthermore, they had to fill SCEQ-Modified questionnaire before and after instruction. The results showed that the instruction had a positive effect on the scores of the posttests of the low level group. Moreover, the results indicated that the instruction had a significant impact on the learners' engagement level.
