Abstract
This study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of a CALL (computer assisted language learning) program in developing reading comprehension skills, listening comprehension skills and motivation of EFL first-year secondary stage students. To accomplish this purpose, the researcher constructed and validated a reading comprehension test, a listening comprehension test, a motivation scale towards CALL-based reading comprehension and a motivation scale towards CALL-based listening comprehension. The participants were two classes (60 students) from first-year secondary stage students at Ahmed Shelbia Secondary School for Girls, Manzala Directorate. They were randomly selected and equally divided into an experimental group and a control group. Both groups were pre-tested. After ensuring their equivalence, the experimental group students were taught reading and listening using the CALL program, meanwhile the control group students were taught according to the teaching procedures in the Teacher’s Guide assigned by the Ministry of Education. After teaching the program, both groups were post- tested using the same instruments utilized in the pre-testing. Findings of the study indicated significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group and those of the control group on the post listening comprehension test, post reading comprehension test, post administration of the motivation scale towards CALL-based reading comprehension and post administration of the motivation scale towards CALL-based listening comprehension in favour of the experimental group.
