“…This is in full agreement with other studies supporting the fact that owning a PC at home brought about more positive computer attitudes and less computer-related anxiety [20]; [41]. Moreover, this supports the fact that owning a personal computer at home (ownership) and the frequency of computer use are two of the operational components of computer anxiety [42].…”

This study investigated the relationship between success in English as a foreign language and the degree of computer anxiety, frequency of computer use, and computer ownership among Iranian high-school students. Eight hundred and nineteen highschool students were selected from eight cities across the country. They completed Computer Anxiety Rating Scale and a personal information questionnaire. School achievement in English was established based on formal grades students received at the end of the academic year. The results revealed that computer anxiety and achievement in English were inversely related. High achievement students in English used computers (both online and offline) more than low achievement students. Computer ownership was also significantly related to students' success in English. It was also found that except gender, achievement in English, PC time, and computer ownership were predictors of computer anxiety.

The chapter reviews the historical development of computer-mediated communication competence research, introducing key figures and terminology. Researchers' variations in both conceptualization and operationalization are discussed and early theoretical models are presented. The chapter continues by reviewing ten related concepts (applied skill; cognitive aspects; communication ability; demographics; emotional and psychological factors; methodology; social context; structural resources; technological context; usage experience) and recent research trends within these broader categories. After discussing the limited theory development work in the area compared to the abundance of methodologicallyoriented contributions, the chapter concludes by making recommendations for future work in the area. These include the need for more consistent terminology, as well as for more theory-based research.

“…As mentioned in the section of acceptance of e-learning, the teachers will tend to have more faith in themselves when they have enough skills to deal with computers. Computer anxiety and further, lack of confidence can be the barriers that hamper people from gaining basic computer literacy and skills (Baloglu & Cevik, 2009). Computer literacy among EFL teachers can be the most perceptiblevariable in predicting patterns of adopting computer device during class discussion (Hew & Brush, 2007;Inan & Lowther, 2010).…”

This studywill determine their readiness level for the e-learning in several aspects such as attitude toward e-learning, and computer literacy also this study attempt to investigate the main the barriers that EFL teachers have to overcome while incorporating e-learning into their teaching. The theory upon which the study was technology acceptance model (TAM) was selected to measure the attitude toward e-learning among EFL teachers and computer literacy. The sample of the study is 71 EFL teachers from the public school. Who were randomly selected to take part in the questionnaire. The findings revealed that the level of computer literacy has a positive influenced on the attitude toward e-learning among EFL teachers in the public school. The EFL teachers showed that the administration did not quite support the e-learning in their schools. The poor support of school administration in e-learning indicates that there is an administrative gap between the Minister of Education and schools’ administration. This issue arises due to unclear e-learning policy in the education in Saudi Arabia. This issue also had an impact on the school administration in support e-learning. It is claimed that EFL teachers had two important issues when they adopt e-learning in their teaching: lack of reliability of the software and lack of time.
