Editorial Reviews

Review

'The Internet and the Language Classroom' certainly lives up to the promise on the sub-title: "a practical guide for teachers". Many of the activities can be adapted for the Business English classroom.' BESIG Business Issues Newsletter

'At a time of near-inflationary publication of books about information and communications technology, this title is noteworthy because of its exhaustive list of 54 practical activities for exploiting the internet in foreign language teaching.' Language Teaching Journal

This review is from: The Internet and the Language Classroom: A Practical Guide for Teachers (Cambridge Handbooks for Language Teachers) (Paperback)

Excellent book. The first pages (Guidelines) serve as the basis to understand what Internet is all about and how it can be used in ELT . It's got tips, hands-on sections and Website FAQs. They're a must for newbies like me. For us, EFL/ESl teachers, this book is an excellent resource to start our journey towards the integration of ICT into the language classroom. Wonderful activities, smartly organized by levels and themes.

This review is from: The Internet and the Language Classroom: A Practical Guide for Teachers (Cambridge Handbooks for Language Teachers) (Paperback)

This is a really useful book. Although a fan of the internet and an EFL teacher I could never quite work out the best ways to use the net to help my students. This book is full of practical and workable ideas. It opens up a whole new resource for teachers. You don't have to be a computer whizz either!

5.0 out of 5 stars Valuable resource book, June 14, 2001

This review is from: The Internet and the Language Classroom: A Practical Guide for Teachers (Cambridge Handbooks for Language Teachers) (Paperback)

I bought this book despite the comments made by the reader from SÃO PAULO, and therefore had some hesitations in using it in my classrooms. However, I found the book to be incredibly informative and chock full of useful and practical ideas that can be easy implemented into the classroom. It is written in such a clear way that there's no need to have any in depth internet knoweledge at all. A god send for the likes of me. I would recommend this book withput hesitation to any teacher wanting to utilise the capabilities of using the internet in the classroom. I'm not sure what problems are friend in Brazil encountered, but I had no trouble at all. All of the pages listed in the book led to straight to the sites they were supposed to. I have already started an email exchange with another school. I'm not sure what problems are friend in Brazil encountered, but I had no trouble at all.
