CAT employs computer applications for evaluating test takers’ performance in learning English.

Washback itself is defined as the influence of the tests or assessments in teaching and learning. It means that washback effect indicates the critical role of the tests or assessments on students, teachers and societies. In a qualitative design, the findings show that there are washback effects of CAT on students’ learning in EFL classroom.
