The majority of students reported that they like using the software in studying vocabulary. The students felt that the software support the learning process especially in terms of introducing word knowledge in different context, instant feedback, multiple word retrieval, and recognition for comprehension.

This study reported that there was no relationship between test- scores and the frequency of word look up features though there were a large number of the students’ look-up clicks on the word features in the CAVL package. The previous studies have generally supported the idea that computer assisted vocabulary learning facilitates second language vocabulary acquisition and has provided with some practical and theoretical insights to understanding the computer assisted vocabulary learning. All of them used experimental research to investigate the effectiveness of CAVL in vocabulary learning and some of them conducted a survey to know students’ attitudesperceptions.
