INTEGRATING ICT IN TEACHING ENGLISH

Journal Title: Science Review - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2

Abstract

There has been much debate over the use of computers and the internet in foreign language teaching for more than two decades. Thus, the Information Communications Technology (ICT) in foreign language teaching has been the researchers’ focus of attention. Education, especially foreign language teaching, has to adapt and renew itself to be compatible with the globalized world. The purpose of this study is to examine the necessity of ICT and highlight the positive effects of it in order to keep up with the modernized communities in the current digital world. To meet this end, the enormous advantages of integrating ICT in foreign language teaching will be presented. With the enhancement of ICT, teachers and students will be able to communicate and collaborate with native and non- native speakers around the globe. The application of ICT is also beneficial in that they provide a wealth of resources for the students to become active learners by creating content for a worldwide audience. When students write or speak for a broader and more international audience, they become more enthusiastic about learning and be active participants in the information age. Furthermore, by using the authentic material provided by the internet, the students will have a better insight into the culture of the country and people whose language they study. In the later parts of the study, reasons for using technology in foreign language teaching and some strategies and techniques for integrating ICT in foreign language teaching will be presented. Therefore, it is stated that integrating ICT in foreign language teaching will have positive effects on both the teachers and students to help them be aware of the modernized world and meet the current demands of the new era.
