Educational Technology has made a significant contribution to education by taking into consideration the individual differences of learners and catering to their needs. The emerging trend the world over is towards more individualized and flexible forms of learning with an emphasis on individualized methods of instruction. This paper is based on an experiment to study the effect of a new teaching methodology i.e. Computer Assisted Instruction Technique (CAI) in comparison to Conventional Teaching (CT) on the achievement of pupil teachers in methods of teaching English language. In this study, instructional material was developed for both methods of instructions i.e. CAI as well as for Conventional Teaching (CT). The instructional material for both the methods was developed and validated by the researcher. The experiment was carried out on the pupil teachers of B.Ed. class of a College of Education. Pretest- Posttest Control Group design was used. Results of the experiment showed that CAI was found effective in terms of the achievement of pupil teachers in methods of teaching English language at post-test stage. However, no significant difference was found to exist between the experimental group and control group at the pretest stage.
