Affordances and limitations of technology: Voices from EFL teachers and learners.

Abstract
-
1---With the developments of new technologies appearing very quickly, the attention has been focused more on
2---technology than learning. English centers and institutes have mostly been busy accommodating new programs
3---and technologies and hence have not spent enough time to evaluate the CALL (Computer Assisted Language
4---Learning) programs and technologies employed to find their affordances and limitations. The present study
5---was an attempt to study the perceptions and evaluation of the Iranian EFL learners and teachers about CALL.
6---To this end, 240 students and teachers of two big institutes in Iran where CALL is used in their English
7---learning program participated in the study. The required data were collected through a mixed-method design.
8---The results of data analysis showed that CALL can enhance language learning and English listening, reading,
9---and writing skills. It can also increase students' motivation and interest in learning and their exposure to
10--language. However, it cannot improve speaking skill well. It also causes technology addiction, lacks good
11--standards and an interactive nature necessary for the development of communicative proficiency, and may
12--give the confidence to the teachers that everything is prepared by CALL courseware designers and hence they
13--may come unprepared. The present study argues that the mere focus on technological support is not adequate,
14--and a pedagogical understanding of language teachers’ and learners’ new roles and identities in CALL
15--environment should be developed.
