Abstract

Individual’s response to anything related to the immediate context can form attitudesconcerning the learning situation where the language is taught. As an attempt to shednew light on the issues relevant to attitude, this study investigated the extent to which aComputer-Assisted Vocabulary Learning (CAVL), Mandegar, can improve learners’perceptions about the program. To fulfill the aim, eighty first-grade high school learners,divided as control and experimental groups, were randomly selected. Two questionnaires,in the first and last session adopted from Altiner (2011) and Bulut & Farhan (2007)respectively, were administered to the participants to investigate their perception to useCAVL in the future. The results, obtained using Paired Samples T-Test (p=0.002 < .05),revealed a significant difference between CAVL users and nonusers in favor of theexperimental group. Students in the experimental group showed a positive attitudetoward CAVL and perceived its utility for helping them speed up vocabulary learning. Thepresent finding might have important implications for decision makers and teachers tofurther involve Computer-Assisted based programs to increase Language learning.
