THE USE OF ICT AND CALL WITH HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Summary/Abstract: In the modern methodology of foreign language teaching, notions such as the internet, blogs, ICT, CALL are common and most teachers are familiar with techniques of using ICT in their classes. However, knowledge is mainly theoretical as in practice, very few teachers choose to teach with the help of ICT and CALL. Though many might blame the teachers for lack of interest and involvement in teaching or accuse them of reluctance, the truth is that there are Romanian schools with no access to the internet, the computers and the resources though there is internet are insufficient for the number of teachers and students in a school. Best case scenario is a lab with internet connection but it is mostly used by Informatics teachers. The paper presents some tools and activities that teachers can use when teaching with ICT and CALL and the results of a survey conducted on a number of 25 students. The survey referred to the amount of time spent using the computer, the types of activities students use computers for and the consequences of extensive use of computers.
