English as an international language has achieved an enormous prominence in today's world of globalization. It plays a significant role in the domains of education by making learning more interesting and productive, based on pedagogical theories. Computershave emerged as fascinating tools in theeducational arena and today language teachers and learners are interested in using computers for foreign language teaching and learning. The philosophy of CALL puts a strong emphasis on student-centered lessons which have two important features: bidirectional which involves interactive learning and individualized learning. The traditional face-to-face teaching which is based on interpersonal communication between the teacher and student is gone. However, the individualized teaching is able to offer the teacher with the opportunity of sourcing from the computer and the internet, rather than being faced the problems of materials. CALL adds new dimensions to the classroom activity and inspires students to higher levels of motivation and achievement.
