Abstract
Today’s world is the era of technology and it is playing a dominant role in the field of education. The current research work is quantitative in nature. It aims to investigate students’ attitudes, their interests and difficulties regarding the concept of computer assisted language learning at intermediate level. A self reported questionnaire (SRQ) was designed and administered to obtain the objectives of the current study. The sampling statistic comprised of 300 students with equal gender from public and private colleges. The collected data was statistically analyzed by running descriptive statistic technique. The findings revealed that male students had more positive attitude towards CALL as compared to their female counterparts. However, it was also revealed that male students found CALL interesting for the development of language proficiency while female students faced more difficulties in using computer technology for English Language learning. The results provide ideas, paths and suggestions to the future researchers to undergo further investigations in developing computer mediating language learning programs for the benefits of learners and learning.

Summary
Computer mediated technology has become one of the most important mean and aspect of successful learning. Computer has become an important tool to attain success, and this technology is being used in many fields especially in the field of education. Computer assisted language learning (CALL) is fundamental part of English teaching methodology and it is very well acknowledged mean to attain learning objectives. Computers provide many opportunities of exchanging ideas and information at both national and international level. Before this technology students were not able to learn language and they had to face many hurdles and difficulties. The classical and traditional methods used by the old teachers couldn’t help them to learn foreign language effectively; the old teaching methods couldn’t fulfill the requirements of learning and learners. Through computer networks students can gain knowledge about the language and the culture of its speakers (Higgins & Chris, 1993)
