Item Open Access A Comparison of computer-assisted vocabulary instruction and teacher-led vocabulary instruction(2005) Tokaç, AyşeThis study aims to determine whether the learning of foreign language vocabulary would be better for students who study and revise the vocabulary instruction material in a computer environment compared to students who learn and revise the same vocabulary instruction material in a classroom environment with their teachers.

One group was the control group, other groups were the teacher-led vocabulary instruction group and the computer-assisted vocabulary instruction group. The teacher-led group learned and revised the target words using spaced repetition via teacher instruction, the computer group learned and revised the target words using spaced repetition via computers, and the control group learned the target words via teacher instruction while they revised vocabulary massively at one time and did not use spaced repetition.Item Open Access Students' and teachers' attitudes towards the use of computer-assisted language learning at the Preparatory School of Celal Bayar University(2004) Önsoy, SedenThis study examined how students and teachers perceive use of computer technology resources in language learning and teaching by investigating the attitudes of students and teachers towards computers and the use of computer-assisted language learning (CALL), the similarities and differences between their attitudes and factors that affect students and teachers’ use of CALL program at the Preparatory School of Celal Bayar University.
