Why is it important to integrate ICT in ELT/ESL?

Today, several technologies are present throughout the world. That’s why I decided to tell you about the integration of ICT in the classroom since it is a subject that many teachers will face. As a teacher, we must rely on strategies that must be used to integrate the tics in the classroom. We must change our way of teaching based on several kinds of technological devices. To enable students to get by in all areas where they need ICT, it is necessary to inform them about these technological tools. Today, most young children are using. It is important to attract the interest of students from multiple sources of reliable and organized. Learners, from the use of technology, will be able to express their creativity.

Today, many believe that technology improves considerably and that is why, I suppose we must, as a future primary school teachers, to know the mode of operation thereof. This reality challenges us more, because teachers modify their learning in relation to educational technology. We must, as soon as possible, to face this reality. Even today, we can see that some educators do not include little or virtually no ICT in their teaching. The reason, for which they do not use them, is possibly because they do not yet see the value. That’s why the company should provide new markers to better understand the future generation. The computer allows students to have access to more comprehensive sources of information. They learn basic skills related to information retrieval. In class, the teacher and the manual are not the only sources of information. Several choices are available to them. Moreover, the integration of tics in the classroom can allow us, as a future teacher, to instruct students and to socialize more with respect to websites. There are many advantages to integrate information technology into the classroom. The constant evolution of these allows us to consider options for future primary school teachers. Of course, one must own and know the use that we can do in the classroom since have sophisticated tools. It is essential to make good use in our classes, because the technologies are the next generation.\
