People have been fairly interested in what technology offers to
them around a scope of human necessities and it has become a
part of human life. In this study, experimental studies were
reviewed for the purpose of how technology helps language
learners improve their phonemic awareness, reading
comprehension and vocabulary development skills. As a
conclusion, experimental studies demonstrated that students
showed significant improvements up to 70% in phonological
awareness, while they demonstrated up to 76% of
improvements in reading comprehension and up to 77% in
vocabulary development. The use of computer-assisted
technologies and its positive outcomes were encouraged to be
used more widely in order to meet the diverse needs of
students.
