They have to learn how to use the language properly. Students do not simply learn the linguistic structures and grammar rules. The underlying theory of the CLT approach is the communicative competence (Hymes, 1972). First, what are the similarities and differences of language teaching and learning between a traditional classroom and a multimedia language lab under the communicative framework? Second, are there any changes in the roles of teachers and students when they are in a different teaching environment from traditional classroom? Third, what are the implications of the Communicative Language Teaching Approach (CLT approach hereafter) in a multimedia computer language lab in teaching?ΔΆ.0.Review of LiteratureMany researchers have helped develop the theory and practice the Communicative Language Teaching Approach (Brown, 1987 Brumfit & Johnson, 1979 Hymes, 1972 Nattinger, 1984 Nunan,1987 & 1989 Richards & Rodgers, 1986 Rossner, 1988 Savingnon, 1983 White, 1989 Yalden, 1983). This study would like to address three questions. The research combining the two fields is not common so far, which makes this study important.

The literature of past research in the Communicative Language Teaching Approach and computer-assisted language learning usually look into the topics in their own domain. As a result, the aim of this study tends to explore how students adjust themselves in learning English with the aid of multimedia computers and the interaction between students and multimedia computers.

Computer-assisted language learning can reduce the anxiety of students and turns out to be a positive side of learning (Gates, 1997).The study is the extension of Huang (1997). Interactive computer network allows students to test the result of learning without the risk of being punished for any mistake. IntroductionDue to the impact and influence of information technology on society and education, computer-assisted language learning is becoming the trend in foreign language teaching.
