The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of a multimedia type CALL (computer assisted language learning) material on the learning of English, and the methodology of measuring such effectiveness using multiple regression analysis and Hayashi's First method of quantification. In this study, 135 Japanese university students majoring in applied international studies who were taking English I, and III (mainly for listening practice in CALL laboratory), served as subjects. They took two tests and completed two questionnaires. And also they made achievement records of learning the CALL material, such as the length of time of learning, the frequency of speaking and dictation activities that were accumulated in a server computer. The pre-test/post-test to measure the students' listening comprehension revealed that they experienced significant proficiency in listening to English within a given period of time. In addition, the correlational analyses and Hayashi's First method of quantification revealed that a multimedia type CALL material was fairly effective in learning English especially for lower level students. The results suggest that statistical analyses in the present study can be reliable methodology in measuring the effectiveness of CALL on the learning of English.
