Integrating Technology into English Language Teaching

Abstract

Abstract

The new era assigns new challenges and duties on the modern teacher. The tradition of English teaching has been drastically changed with the remarkable entry of technology.There has been a tremendous growth of information communication technologies (ICT) across the board in recent years. Training in ICT skills is crucial in implementing ICT integration in the teaching. Learning of English and the extent to which teachers are given time and access to pertinent training to use computers to support learning plays a major role. Technology has a major impact on achievement. Personal learning networks developed out of the idea of building a personal learning environment,which is built out of a collection of web tools setup and owned by the learner.In this way,the ‘management of learning migrates from the institution to the learner’and learning also ‘evolves from being a transfer of content and knowledge to the production of content and knowledge’.The teachers design their own projects,taking into account the needs and interests of their students and the new syllabi.
