Abstract

At a time when information technology has a strong impact on society, it is important to identify the level of its influence on foreign language teaching and learning. The paper presents research into the effectiveness of English language computer aided instruction in high schools. The research is based on a twelve-week long project carried out in a high school in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The aim of the project was to observe the language competencies of one hundred high school students who followed two types of foreign language instruction: traditional and computer aided. The results showed significant effectiveness of computer aided instruction in developing students’ competencies, particularly vocabulary acquisition. The paper presents recommendations based on the findings.
