Abstract: With the advent of technology, there have been various changes in every field, including education. For the last few decades, the use of Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) has linked people across different linguistic, geographic, and cultural boundaries, altered human-to-human communication, and transformed discursive and linguistic practices. For second/foreign language learners, digital technology offers full-time access to a broad range of platforms for interaction with native speakers outside the classroom. The focus of this study is to gain some theoretical perspective on computer-mediated communication by reviewing the previous studies in this field. It also investigates the advantages and challenges of CMC in relation to second language learning.
