Using Web resources while teaching foreign languages

Abstract

The wealth of the information available on the Web can afford teachers and learners to get an access to language learning resources like never before. The World Wide Web expands the classroom context and provided access to current, up-to-date materials from the country or countries of the target language, offering learners and teachers a great amount of materials in different modes, bringing the foreign culture and language to life and making it more tangible. Online journals, newspapers and magazines provide authentic materials for language learners while teachers can find lesson plans and ideas, exercises, assessment tools and other materials for using in their classes.
