Abstract
The use of technology in the field of training, especially the second foreign language, has become very common. The use of different media, such as sound, photo, video, animation, text, etc., together with each other to better convey the message, is called multimedia, which is used in contrast to text-only programs. According to Zanganeh, in such programs, less text is used as much as possible and the main burden of conveying the message is placed on other visual or audio media. In this research, it is pointed out that most of the language learners are interested in learning through technology and computer tools, but the factors that can cause them not to be interested in learning from this method are their lack of familiarity with technology tools, lack of facilities, and the lack of familiarity and mastery of teachers in teaching with this method. Brammertz says: In this learning method, pairs of native language learners are used with the help of an intermediate language and using computers and the Internet. In addition to language training, this method has social and cultural exchange. These interactions are the self-motivation of the two partners during the simultaneous and regular weekly exchange based on the MOO (Position-Oriented Multi-User Domain).
