Name of Author : Sushma Undrala & Dr. S Uma Maheswari

Abstract: The use of technology within the classroom is becoming increasingly important for the presentation of authentic materials and hopefully it will become a part of ELT practice in ESL classroom in the coming years. Yet teacher training programs often ignore training within the use of ICT, and teachers are often far less skilled than their own students when it involves using current technology. This paper focuses on technology in English language teaching and the relation between technology and authentic materials in ESL classroom. Particular emphases will place on the lack of technology in our education system in general and the second language in particular.

Keywords : Technology, authenticity, advantages, attitudes, second language, classroom teaching, ELT
