New literacy, new media ,new challenges:
Foreign Languages is skill-based as well as knowledge-based.
With regard to pedagogy and methodology, a “shift of paradigm” is necessary in teacher / learner roles.
New media become increasingly integrated into everyday life. Improved pedagogy which will facilitate “blended” learning to become increasingly time and place independent.
Impact on learners:
• Pupils, teachers and parents consider that ICT has a positive impact on pupils’ learning.
• Pupils’ subject-related performance and basic skills (calculation, reading and writing) improve with ICT, according to teachers.
• Teachers are becoming more and more convinced that the educational achievements of pupils improve through the use of ICT.
• Academically strong students benefit more from ICT use, but ICT serves also weak students.
Motivation:
• Pupils are more motivated and attentive when computers and the Internet are used in class. Multimedia and interactive content is engaging and motivating and students pay more attention during lessons.
• ICT has a strong motivational effect and positive effects on behaviour, communication and process skills.
• Collaboration between students is greater when they use ICT for project work. Teachers consider that pupils work more in cohesion with their own learning styles, resulting in a favourable impact on both academically strong and weak students.
Independent learning:
• Pupils state that they do assignments more their own way when using a computer and their parents consider that they solve assignments more at their own level.
• Teachers consider that pupils work more in cohesion with their own learning styles, resulting in a favourable impact on both academically strong and weak students.
• Pupils with special needs or behavioural difficulties gain in different ways from the use of ICT.
• ICT use at schools can help to minimise the social divide by reducing the digital divide.
• Students assume greater responsibility for their own learning when they use ICT, working more independently and effectively.
• ICT offers learners assignments better suited to individual needs and makes it easier to organize their own learning.
Impact on teaching:
• Increased enthusiasm
• Increased efficiency and collaboration
• Specific ICT uses
Barriers:
• Teacher-level barriers: Teachers’ poor ICT competence, low motivation and lack of confidence in using new technologies in teaching are significant determinants of their levels of engagement in ICT.
• School level barriers: Limited access to ICT (due to a lack or poor organisation of ICT resources), poor quality and inadequate maintenance of hardware as well as
unsuitable educational software are also defining elements in teachers’ levels of ICT use.

Presentation of the session

The new technologies are breaking down borders and barriers. English Language Teachers are confronted with new choices, opportunities and challenges. Thanks to the Internet, access to authentic materials has never been easier; linguistic resources and an exhaustive range of materials are available and ready for immediate exploitation. “Blended” learning is making skills acquisition a time and place-independent task. Although increasing use is being made of ICT for content research, the so-called WEB 2.0 becomes the key to success to exploit these resources on-line and make ELT more motivating and attractive.
