Effect of Technology Enhanced Language Learning on EFL Reading Comprehension at Tertiary Level

Effect of Technology Enhanced Language Learning on EFL Reading Comprehension at Tertiary Level

The study investigated the impact of the affordance of computer assisted language learning (CALL) and mobile assisted language learning (MALL) on EFL reading comprehension at tertiary level. Pre-formed intact groups were used to conduct this quasi-experimental study. It used a pretest and post-test...
