This study used an action research method where the researcher was accompanied by an observer as a collaborator. Three cycles were done for this study. Data were gathered from observations, a questionnaire and tests. The mean of index gain score  from the preliminary study to the post-test 1 was 0.12. The mean of index gain score from post-test 1 to post-test 2 was 0.18. While The mean of index gain score from post-test 2 to post-test 3 was 0.32. Hence the results showed that the use of technology in the CLL method was a success. The students enjoyed their lessons more, and were more motivated, interested and confident during the teaching learning sessions. From the finding it is strongly recommended to use technology in assisting to gain the purposes of English teaching and learning.
