Statement of the Problem. To evaluate the effects of English comprehension ability and graphics on student achievement and attitudes toward a microcomputer CAI program. Method of the Study. A complete CAI program, a pre-test, a post-test, and a questionnaire were designed and used to measure the students' achievement and attitudes about the CAI system. One hundred students were randomly selected for the experiment. The gain scores were analyzed in two way analysis of variance, and the responses of the questionnaires were tabulated by computer. Findings. (1) There is a significant difference between the gain scores of students of high and low English ability. (2) There is no significant difference between the success of students on the CAI program with graphics in the computer and with graphics in the handout. (3) There is no interaction between the students' English ability and their success of the CAI program. (4) Respondents indicated: (a) The CAI system should provide enough computers and teaching assistants. (b) The students should learn typing skills and have knowledge of computers. (c) The CAI system should offer some preparatory CAI program. (5) Respondents indicated: (a) A desire to avoid implementing the CAI system in Taiwan and agreed that the teacher need not discuss the text. (b) The CAI program can best be used for supplementary instruction, but cannot replace the teacher. (c) The CAI program can cause the students to have more concentration, but is inconvenient for review. Conclusions. (1) Concerning the experiment: (a) The gain scores of students on the CAI program are significantly affected by their English ability. (b) There is no difference between the gain scores of the CAI program with graphics in the computer and in the handout. (c) The interaction between the above two mentioned gain scores is not significant. (2) Concerning needed facilities: (a) Adequate computers; (b) Adequate computer assistants; (c) Some designed assignments; (d) Adequate typing skills; (e) Practice programs. (3) Concerning student attitudes: (a) A positive attitude toward the CAI system; (b) Teacher discussion is needed; (c) CAI program causes students to concentrate more.
