Abstract

In recent years, computer assisted language learning has come to the

forefront of language learning and teaching. Computer assisted vocabulary
instruction has been considered to be one of the most common applications of
CALL. The purpose of this article is to investigate the effectiveness of
computer assisted instruction on students vocabulary achievement. The
subjects of this quasi-experimental study consisted of 52 freshmen studying in
the ELT Department of Balkesir University in the spring semester of 20122013 academic year. Before the intervention, the students were randomly
assigned to one of the groups; Computer Assisted Instruction or
Communicative Language Teaching and they were given a pre-test. Following
the pre-test, the CAVI group studied 20 target words by using a Moodle in a
computer laboratory whereas the CLT group was instructed the same words
by their teacher in a communicative classroom atmosphere. Both groups were
given the post-test immediately after the intervention. The delayed post-test
was administered to the freshmen five weeks after the
intervention in order to test the retention. The results revealed that both
CAVI and CLT groups had some kind of vocabulary gain as a result of
the treatments. However, there was no significant difference between the
groups in vocabulary gains.

Introduction/literatur

Language teachers are progressively expected to have CALL ability that includes
both practical aptitudes and a complete comprehension of data innovation hypothesis.
CALL is currently an indispensable piece of EFL classrooms and is liable to expect
expanding significance as technology improves. Computer Assisted Vocabulary
Instruction (CAVI) has been thought to be a standout amongst the most widely
recognized uses of CALL. The teachers used CALL aplication to know how effective
it in students goal achievment on vocabulary test

Procedure

This study employed a quasi-experimental pre-post test control group design with two
groups (experimental and control groups).
1. Pre-test
2. Post-test
The students were arbitrarily relegated to one of the groups; Computer Assisted
Instruction (the experimental group) or Communicative Language Teaching (the
control group) and they were given a pre-test.
The CLT group, then again, was told the same words by their instructor in
communicative classroom atmosphere. The guideline comprised of the same reading

text, words, definitions, illustration sentences, works out, and diversions as those
intended for the CAVI group.
To start with, the scores of preand post-tests were looked at for every groups. At that
point, the aftereffects of post-tests for both groups were analyzed through t-test. At
last, the mean scores of deferred post-test for both groups were thought about. With a
specific end goal to figure out the distinction in achievement levels in the middle of
male and female students, free specimens t-test was directed. Restricted ANOVA test
was likewise connected to see whether these outcomes were arbitrary or not.
This study planned to uncover whether computer assisted instruction is successful in
vocabulary accomplishment of the ELT freshmen or not. The aftereffects of the
present study demonstrated that both instruction sorts have encouraging impact on
students' vocabulary learning.
This study have a connection of CALL aplication. We can know the effectiveness
using it in learning process.
