student can be asked to use an interactive pen to highlight, and thus identify, a given grammar
structure or part of speech in any text. There also is a click-and-drag function that allows learners to
manipulate words and phrases. For instance, a student can move adjectives from a list and insert
them in a sentence to practice adjective order [3]. These technologists serve to improve the quality
of training in the EFL classes. Using ICT, the teachers can purchase ready-made materials or create
their own materials for their lessons.
Advantages of ICT: -ICTs provide students with a lot of language practices through activities using radio,
videos, movies, head-sets, Internet, etc., and tasks which develop their reading, writing, speaking,
and listening skills.
-ICTs entertain students and encourage speaking English in general, both inside and outside
the classroom, promoting extensive speaking skills by giving the students the confidence, the
motivation, and the ability to continue their speech or talk outside the classroom.
-ICTs “inform, amuse, startle, anger, entertain, thrill, but very seldom leave anyone
untouched.”
-ICT tools’ aim is to enable EFL students to develop critical thinking, analyzing and
reflecting on their experiences while using various audio-visual means.
- The use of ICT may provide a learning environment where motivation is maintained and
enhanced, students are more likely to display positive attitudes when computers are used in the
classroom.
- ICT tools and computers in particular have been used to implement a large set of
innovative teaching practices in the language classroom. Standards-based approach, competency-
based approach, project-based learning, and task-based learning have largely benefited from web
technology and helped students develop a set of learning strategies and styles that promote
autonomous learning and offer platforms for more individualized learning.
- ICT had promoted and enhanced interaction and authentic communication among English
language users and learners. Other methods and approaches would simply not offer the ease and
speed of communication that ICT can allow.
- The Internet can provide a wealth of information that stimulates the natural language
learning process, focusing on listening comprehension, reading comprehension, speaking, and
writing comprehension, which all offer authentic and real-world content. They provide learners with
real life images, written texts, and voices of native speakers. [4]
ICT is one of the forms of advanced scientific technologies that should functions should be
optimized, especially when performing training. ICT provides students with opportunities to
receive materials in the era of global competition. Thanks to innovative ICT-based learning,
students can get ample opportunities for developing competencies on an international scale. On the
other hand, mental attitude and self-confidence in accessing any information necessary for learning
independently affect the value of teaching a student's character, which is not always dependent on
others.
