Secondary researches were the instrument to collect the data of this research. This study found that the role of the teacher as learner training, especially the presence of the teacher rather than self-access centre, facilitate the students to learn better in order to achieve specific indicators. The teacher could combine and sometimes integrate learning using the computer as mediated in communication, primarily about text-based approach, including synchronous where interaction takes place in real time and asynchronous where participants were not on-line simultaneously. It purposed to make the students aware of technology and created contextual teaching and learning to achieve a certain level of education skills. Keywords : role, computer-mediated communication, teaching, learning
