Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) has become a popular method for
second language (L2) teaching and learning due to the increasing availability of
technology. CALL has many benefits, such as providing learners with access to a
range of authentic materials and interactive language practice, but there are also
potential drawbacks to using CALL. The three main types of CALL programs used
in the L2 context, which are interactive programs, game-based programs, and
social media platforms, will be investigated. Each program has its benefits and
drawbacks of each type of program and examines their effectiveness in enhancing
L2 motivation and improving language proficiency. Research has shown that
different types of technology can affect motivation in different ways, and it is
important to determine which programs are most effective in promoting
motivation. Moreover, language teachers and learners should carefully consider the
role of technology in language learning and strive for a balanced approach.
