摘要：AbstractThe study aimed at exploring the effectiveness of computer software (Praat) in helping students to acquire prosodic features of English language. Forty participants including male and female university students, ranging the age from 18 to 35 years old, were assigned into two experimental control groups. Then both groups were given a pre - test before the research sessions. The control group received (Non-CALL approach) while the experimental group was through CALL approach to pirate software. Finally, both groups sat for post-test at the end of treatment. At-test analysis was used and findings revealed that the difference between two groups was significant in terms of learning prosodic features through Praat software (p<.05). The results also showed that learners that practiced stress and intonation through CALL approach were more successful than the students who were taught through traditional method.
