Computer assisted language learning : perception and practice of undergraduate students of South Eastern university of Sri Lanka

Abstract

Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL), a concept yet to be familiarized in Sri Lanka, has been introduced at the Self Access Centre of the South Eastern University of Sri Lanka by the English Language Teaching Unit. At the beginning a few standalone CDs were used and later this was shifted to commercially available online learning resources. Nevertheless, due to various reasons, the benefits of CALL have been a question. This paper analyses the perception and practice of students with regard to the use of CALL at the South Eastern University of Sri Lanka
