Abstract

During the last
two decades, the integration of ICT in language education has become a major
interest of topic in language educational realm. Research findings over the past
two decades provide some evidence as to the positive effects of the use of
information and communications technology (ICT) on students. EFL teachers are
expected to adopt a new view of their roles and professional development in the
rapidly changing modern society.  It is
needed to explore particular skills required for ICT to enhance language
learning. The use of ICT as a teaching tool emphasizes obtaining, analysing and
organizing information, by this way giving chance students to get in touch with
different kinds of media. Integration of ICT necessitates deciding on the use
of different  ICTs in each skill, the
types of ICT applications to be used, planning the favourite activities,
managing problems arising from the activities planned, and so on. Information
and Communication Technologies (ICTs) can be regarded as a new model of
teaching and learning.. This review study is framed around to provide a deep
and clear understanding about use of ICT in teaching English and examine ICT to
meet the new educational demands of the current era. Namely, the aim of this
paper is to present a comprehensive review as to advantages and disadvantages
of using ICT as an instructive tool in EFL classrooms. Based on aforementioned
considerations, this review study aims to shed light on how ICT contribute to
English learning process and help identify the factors influencing the success
implementation of ICT. Furthermore, the certain major suggestions will be made
to maximize beneficial use of ICT in EFL classroom settings.
