INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY INTO ELT CURRICULUM

Abstract

Technology is ubiquitous, touching almost everypart of our lives, including
language education. When properly used, technology can be a highly engaging
and interactive tool, providing a source of real language in the classroom, and
motivating learners to produce more language. However, classroom teachers lag
far behind when itcomes to integrating technology into the curriculum, especially
into language classroom instruction. In this paper I will attempt to explain how to
integrate technology into the English language curriculum. Specifically, I would
like to propose a concept for integrating technology into the curriculum, the
principles for using technology in learning, the institutional obligations in
supporting the use of technology in learning, and the implications for teachers of
integrating technology in the curriculum.
