From the Preface
In 1995, I authored E-Mail for English Teaching...Five years, however, is a millennium as far as information technology goes. Since 1995, the Internet has grown from a resource accessible to a relatively small numbers of well-to-do users in certain industrialized countries to a mass medium of communication among hundreds of millions of people around the globe. At the same time, the nature of the Internet has changed as a result of the introduction of more sophisticated capabilities for finding information and publishing on the World Wide Web. Meanwhile, the English teaching profession has continued to grow and change, with more emphasis placed than ever before on the development of skills for purposeful communication, critical literacy, and autonomous life-long learning.
Because of all these changes, I have invited Heidi Shetzer and Christine Meloni, two international leaders in the field of on-line language learning, to join me in writing this book. Internet for English Teaching incorporates all we have learned about on-line education, including up-to-date information about multi-class on-line projects, multimedia authoring, distance education, and networking for professional development.
Who is Internet for English Teaching for? It is for you if
In short, we've combined pedagogical suggestions, research, and theory in a book that has something to offer educators from a variety of backgrounds.
We invite you to share your responses, ideas, thoughts, and suggestions to us by e-mail. Our communication with teachers around the world has allowed us to provide in this book a comprehensive overview of outstanding ways of use of the Internet for English teaching. By sharing your comments and experiences, you can contribute to the creative collaboration which is at the heart of the best uses of the Internet.
