Description
Summary:Faculty of languages and linguistics at university of Malaya in Malaysia has invested substantially to introduce students to computer-based language learning materials and to integrate technology into existing curriculum. The purpose of this study was to examine the attitudes of students towards use of computer-assisted language learning (CALL). Data was collected from 100 students using a survey questionnaire. Findings of this study indicated that students had moderate attitudes towards CALL. Moreover, study results indicated that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and subjective norms were significant predictors of computer attitudes. Implications for student training and suggestion for further research were provided.
