Jahan, Nusrat
In the era of globalization, both Information Technology (IT) and English play
a vital role in communication. IT creates an environment where communication is
possible across the borders within a second. On the other hand, English is the dominant
global language which is used to spread messages around the world. As technology
prevails in all areas of life to make the things easy, language teachers and learners can
also depend much upon it. This paper brings into focus the use of IT in English language
teaching and learning. The purpose of the work is also to identify how IT relates to
English language learning at tertiary level. Besides, it indicates the possibilities of using
IT beyond language classroom. For the study two questionnaires were designed to survey
and it was conducted among language teachers and learners. Inspite of having some
limitations to implement IT in language classroom, teachers and learners expressed their
positive attitudes towards it.
