Abstract
The study aims at investigating the effectiveness of the Virtual Library Technology, in developing the achievement of the English Language Skills in the Center of Development and Continuous Education, in comparison with the individual learning via personal computer to investigate the students' attitude towards the use of both approaches. The population of the study includes the participants in the English Language course arranged in the Center. The sample includes 60 students who were randomly chosen from the whole population (participants in English Courses for the year 2009-2010). The sample is randomly chosen and divided into two experimental groups. The first group has learned through classroom technology; while the other group has learned via computer on an individualized learning basis. The results of the study show the effectiveness of both approaches in improving the students' achievement levels, through those two approaches. The study shows more positive results of the Virtual Library Technology, rather than the use of personal computer. The study also indicates that students prefer Virtual Library Technology more than the individualized learning via personal computer use. The study recommends manipulating the Virtual Library Techniques more than the individualized learning via personal computer. The study recommends using the Virtual Library Techniques in learning English Language skills. Key words:
