Technology is playing an increasing role in education world-wide and is having a growing impact on the design and delivery of English language programs. Todays’ language teachers are expected to understand how to integrate technology into their teaching as well as knowing how to help learners make use of resources such as media and the internet to improve their learning of all four skills. As such technology offers both new challenges as well as new opportunities for both teachers and learners. This article surveys the role of technology in language teaching and explores the opportunities it offers to teachers and learners to support new technology-mediated teaching and learning.
