The first purpose about the article, of this week is to shows educators a different way to apply the internet in English Language Teaching (ELT). At the same time it make reference in how meaningful the use of technologies brings for learners and teachers. Adding ideas for the use of internet concepts when schools have insufficient or not access to it all.


The reading mentions something very crucial for me, because it says that thanks to the use of technologies, the learners increase the motivation, cut down the anxiety and develop the learner autonomy.


It is extremely essential, to make allusion to all the other benefits of using the internet has, for instance, it says that it can be used to facilitate analysis, to give advice, to inspire creative not only in students but with professors too, and also with communication, helping students to interact with real people thus, the learners can improve their accents pronunciation and learn new vocabulary; All of this due to the support of the great quantity of programs that exist in these days.


On the other hand, it makes reference in the reason about why the use of internet would not be effective in ELT, and it says that considering that around the world there are still people who have limit the internet access so, that will make very difficult to achieve.





To finish, let me tell you that I really enjoyed reading this article “Call me.. Maybe: a Framework for Integrating the Internet into ELT” I learned a lot of about the importance of why consider internet integration in education being aware of the disadvantages.
