Abstract: The study was conducted by a sample of randomly chosen 500 respondents during 2012–2013 for assessing the integration of AER in English language classes. The respondents were selected from several Saudi universities because in Saudi Arabia, government are supporting establishment of cutting age infrastructure for AER like language labs, digital practice materials on CD ROMs, and Saudi Digital Library (SDL) and computers desktops and laptops are available both for teachers and students. However, the outcome is not much noticeable. For this reason the current study was conducted to understand the problems associated with AER and to obtain idea for their solution. Findings of the study indicated that most of the teachers were not fully aware or had difficulty in using AER. The findings provide useful recommendations for educationists to focus on training of teachers and to enhance teachers’ capability of using AER. The emphasis should not just be on purchase and availability of AER, but it should be to update the teaching staff with AER by frequent training sessions so that to facilitate the integration of AER in actual teaching.
