Approaches of the 21st century : improving EFL learners’ grammatical competence through computer-assisted language learning (CALL)‎

Abstract EN

The mastery of the Grammatical Competence, i.

e.

linguistic competence is deemed to be the foundation for successful language learning.

Apparently, the majority of EFL students have difficulties in grammar such as their miss-use of grammar structures.

Accordingly, this paper aims at investigating the utility of integrating Computer-assisted Language Learning (CALL) in teaching grammar and its impacts in improving EFL learners' competencies in grammar.

The instruction aimed at investigating learners' linguistic competence progress of the representative sample of Third-Year LMD students.

Therefore, a mixed research approach was adopted in this study.

In relevance to this approach, four data gathering methods were used in order to investigate learners' perceptions of grammar structures and their reactions towards the applied instruction.

These tools include a quasi-experiment, students' evaluation form, students' questionnaire, and teachers' interview.

After the analysis and the interpretation of the collected data, the findings revealed that CALL instruction can help in improving EFL learners' linguistic competence, specifically their grammar.
