This book presents a critical analysis and investigation of current developments and debates in the use of information technology (IT) in English language teaching (ELT) internationally. Throughout the book, the contributors adopt a constructive but critical perspective on the use of IT in English language education, often challenging its role indeveloping learner autonomy, its effectiveness in developing language learning and its capacity to enhance pedagogic practice in the language teaching classroom, at the same time suggesting effective models and guidelines for good practice.'--BOOK JACKET.
