With the rapid development of modern information and communication technologies (ICT), computer-assisted language learning (CALL) has become an integral part of foreign language education. CALL enables learners to develop speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills without time or location constraints. However, the effectiveness of technology in language teaching depends on its proper integration into the lesson. Computer-mediated communication (CMC) complements CALL by providing synchronous and asynchronous platforms for interactive learning. Synchronous CMC, such as video conferencing and online chats, promotes real-time oral and written communication, enhancing fluency, grammar, and discussion skills.

This study highlights the pedagogical potential of CALL and CMC, emphasizing that technology should serve educational goals rather than overshadow them. Effective implementation relies on careful needs analysis, informed selection of digital tools, and integration of technology into all aspects of language learning.
