We have to quicken steps forward before being so far from it.Abstract The current study tends to show the growth of computational linguistics and the motivations of its existence, the field which it refers to, its theoretical and applied components, its relation to natural language understanding, advantages and disadvantages of natural language processing, some of the most important applications, with reference to its role in teaching and learning processes and the problems facing them.Introduction Computational linguistics is a field ranges between linguistics and computer science with the help of psychology and logic. It uses computers to simplify treating with linguistic issues. It is considered as a branch of computer science as well as of linguistics. However; it should be cooperation between computer science and linguistics. (McGuigan, 2006) The aim of the study is to highlight on the field of computational linguistics and its skills concentrating on linguistics with the reference to computer uses concerning teaching and the role of today teachers towards the students of the electronic age. The study is supposed to be very important for both teachers and students who are interested in language studies.
