Using ICT and collaborating with Language Teaching and Learning has resulted in disparate findings especially in quality and complexity. Technology has indeed allowed students to enhance language learning using multiple modalities through interactive effects of the sound, animation, narration, and video. These practices signal potentially dramatic changes in assessment; putting more focus on creating electronic presentations than on attending to the content of the paper. In this paper, it is described that students using computers in a collaborative context demonstrated superior depth of understanding and reflection, as well as improved their Language scores. With this, it is construed that effective technology-rich environments allow for active student learning collaborative environments, immediate feedback, and authentic information. Thus, this serves as a vital function of not only helping students but also teachers to learn more about their own teaching.
