Computer aided language learning having replaced the traditional paradigms has been acknowledged by many educators, and also began to become a unique opportunities in an educational context (Arias, Yoma & Vivanco, 2010). This paper tries to show the impacts of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) on Iranian female students' pronunciation skills. 60 students randomly selected from NemoonehVakili junior high school were divided into control and experimental groups. The administration of a pronunciation test showed that two groups were homogeneous in terms of their pronunciation skills at the entry level. While both groups had the same instructor during 8 sessions, only the experimental group received the materials by using computer. The performance of the experimental group on pronunciation test held at the end of the course showed that the mean score of this group was significantly higher than the control group. Hence, the students' learning based on CALL can increase the motivation and interest of learning among the learners and have a profound impact on the students’ achievement of pronunciation.
