Abstract:

Computer assisted language learning provides the primary motive for the reform and development of English (as a second language) teaching. The present paper explores and compares the characteristics of traditional language teaching and computer assisted language learning and points out their advantages and shortcomings respectively. It comes to a conclusion that only by integrating those two teaching models in our language teaching can we cultivate fresh language talents that are skilled and useful in the development of our society.
