Integrating Technology in Language Curriculum

Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have revolutionized the way we access and interact with information and consequently the way this information is comprehended and put to use. The use of technology in teaching is not a new phenomenon however, the evolving nature of technology demands that users of technology must keep abreast with this evolution, and be creative and innovative in the ways in which this technology is used for instructional purposes. This book explores ways through which ICTs are integrated in the Language curriculum. It focuses on the integration of ICTs in the English language curriculum and its implication on pedagogy. The book also focuses on the knowledge and skills needed for successful integration using the New Partnership on African Development (NEPAD) e_Schools Initiative in Kenya in the discussion. The book is suitable to all language educators, language teacher trainees, language course designers, online language material developers,and managers of learning institutions.
