The Use of ICT in the English Language Classroom

All aspects of society are constantly developing while adapting to the challenges of the modern world. Education is also included in this continuous process of transformation with the emphasis on the fast information retrieval and acquisition of knowledge from multiple resources. Young people live in a digital environment where they are constantly available on some digital device. This paper presents research on the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in education. Attitudes towards the use of technology in the English language classroom were tested among elementary students. Several surveys were conducted to compare the attitudes of students who use tablets in classrooms on the daily basis with those of students who have only experienced one lesson using tablets. The results suggest that the use of ICT in education is perceived more positively among those students who use technology in their classrooms on the daily basis.
