Abstract
The paper presents the results of quantitative research into the attitudes of young Slovenian foreign language learners towards the learning of a foreign language with the help of information and communication technology (hereinafter ICT). Seven elementary schools agreed to participate, forming a 406- strong sample of 2nd to 4th graders. The students were specifically asked whether they used ICT during their English lessons and for homework. The results show that in the case of gender, the chi square test results showed a statistically significant difference in attitudes towards the use of mobile phones during English lessons and during homework. In the case of class, the regression showed a strong predictor for statistically significant difference. The results should encourage language teachers and policy-makers alike to adjust their teaching methods appropriately and allow for an aimed use of ICT in foreign language class.
