As an attempt to shed <br />new light on the issues relevant to attitude, this study investigated the extent to which a <br />Computer-Assisted Vocabulary Learning (CAVL), Mandegar, can improve learners’ <br />perceptions about the program. To fulfill the aim, eighty first-grade high school learners, <br />divided as control and experimental groups, were randomly selected. Two questionnaires, <br />in the first and last session adopted from Altiner (2011) and Bulut & Farhan (2007) <br />respectively, were administered to the participants to investigate their perception to use <br />CAVL in the future. The results, obtained using Paired Samples T-Test (p=0.002 < .05), <br />revealed a significant difference between CAVL users and nonusers in favor of the <br />experimental group. Students in the experimental group showed a positive attitude <br />toward CAVL and perceived its utility for helping them speed up vocabulary learning. The <br />present finding might have important implications for decision makers and teachers to <br />further involve Computer-Assisted based programs to increase Language learning. </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Anadolu University}
