Abstract

The world of education in general and that of languages in particular is constantly evolving to keep up with the fast pace of the era of globalization. Education has to renew itself to adapt  to  the  dramatic  changes  of  the  digital  society.  Hence,  education  has  to  grasp  the  use  of Information  and  Communication  Technology  (ICT)  as  one  of  the  priorities  to  move  forward. Indeed, to  meet the requirement  and  challenges  of the  globalised  digital  society,  it  is  a  must to apply ICT in language teaching classes. Therefore, the reasons for using ICT in English teaching and  learning  are  mentioned  in  this  paper.  Accordingly,  the  author  shares  some  personal experiences of using ICT with a hope that they can be of some value for those concerned.
