Abstract
It is very interesting to see how Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) has attracted many Arab students in learning English as a foreign language in the institutions of higher learning. It has great impact on their academic lives especially on teaching-learning process inside the classrooms. As a response to the students’ attraction in call, computer technologies have been brought into classrooms where they are considered to be effective in enhancing students learning and addressing certain education problems. The institutions of higher learning in Saudi Arabia, their students and faculty members have decided to try their best to utilize computer and other related technologies in their EFL classrooms for their fruitful teaching and learning outcomes. Thus, computers have taken centre stage and play an important role when it comes to language instruction in Saudi Arabia.

Summary
Call in language teaching involves the use of computer technology to help in the process of presenting, reinforcing, and assessing learning materials that places emphasis on interactive elements. Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) involves the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in learning and teaching a second or foreign language ranging from research to course development. It does not refer to the use of a computer by only the teacher in order to prepare teaching materials. CALL is even being used by curriculum designers who have designed programs to help students from a wide range of age groups ranging from primary school to collage students and even adults. All this has created many questions the most important of which is regarding the role that these technologies play in language teaching and learning
