Like many language teachers, you may feel a certain aversion to information and communication technology. "What do I need computers for?" you might ask. After all, you've been teaching English very effectively for years with nothing more technical than a tape recorder. You can teach English perfectly well without computers too, surely? Well, yes, of course you can. But by the same token you can teach English perfectly well without a coursebook, a tape recorder or even a whiteboard. However, these tools do make life easier and can add a valuable extra dimension to your teaching. Ultimately, computers and the internet are just extra tools in your arsenal - tools which can open up whole new vistas within your teaching practice.
