ICT

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have in recent years become an integral part of more and more language courses at all levels. Learning languages using the Internet and its new technologies such as social networks, blogs, podcasts and wikis, is not only fun, but

The various facets of foreign cultures and foreign languages become much more tangible. Experiencing direct communication with native speakers in e-mail projects or tandem partnerships, in chat rooms and discussion forums provide motivating and effective opportunities for improving a whole range of language skills – in class as well as at home.
