Abstract
Research studies conducted around the globe have shown that Information
and Communication Technologies (ICT) can lead to increased student learning and
improved teaching methods. ICT’s growth has brought about numerous changes to
the education world, making the technological revolution that is happening around
us impossible to disregard. Although the revolution in language education is here
to stay, language professionals seem reluctant to embrace ICT in their classrooms.
The purpose of this paper is 1) to present the field with an overview of how far the
integration of ICT in language education and the development of language teacher
education regarding the use of ICT have come, and 2) to contribute suggestions
on how the situation can improve. The overview in question entails literature from
around the globe.
