“Samtidigt så stöter det ofta på problem,
där dem ska använda sina datorer, just
med det tekniska där man inte kommer ut
på nätet man har inte datorn laddad, man
har inte den med sig”.
“At the same time it runs into problems
when they use their computers.
Technical things such as when they
cannot access the internet or they
haven’t charged
their computers or they
don’t bring them to school”.
Moreover, the same participant also emphasized the importance of using traditional, non-
digital educational materials. A combination of teaching with ICT and other teaching aids
such as printed course books and learner dictionaries etcetera was preferred to create a
variation in the ELT classroom and to meet the needs of all people.

“Jag tycker inte att man ska ta bort
skrivandet för hand och inte läromedel i
bokform heller. Det är bra om man kan
jobba med en mix, det varierar
undervisningen om man både kan
använda böcker och teknologin”.
“I believe that we shouldn’t eliminate
the manually writing and teaching aids,
such as books. A mix is good,
it varies
the teaching if you can use both books
and technology”.
Over all, the attitude towards using ICT in ELT was positive. The participants seemed to see
the benefits with it rather than the disadvantages, even though,
some negative aspects were
mentioned in the answers.
