INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY INTO ELT CURRICULUM

Technology is ubiquitous, touching almost everypart of our lives, includinglanguage education. When properly used, technology can be a highly engagingand interactive tool, providing a source of real language in the classroom, andmotivating learners to produce more language. However, classroom teachers lagfar behind when itcomes to integrating technology into the curriculum, especiallyinto language classroom instruction. In this paper I will attempt to explain how tointegrate technology into the English language curriculum. Specifically, I wouldlike to propose a concept for integrating technology into the curriculum, theprinciples for using technology in learning, the institutional obligations insupporting the use of technology in learning, and the implications for teachers ofintegrating technology in the curriculum.Keywords: classroom activities, curriculum, engaging and interactive tool,language learning, technolog
