Abstract

Summary Given the emphasis on the cross-curricular use of information technology in the National Curriculum and the encouragement given by the Modern Foreign Languages Working Group, it is important that the development of the use of computers in modern language teaching is not limited by external factors such as lack of resources for hardware, software and INSET. Unless the value placed on information technology in modern language teaching is matched by the provision of the necessary resources the use of computers will remain limited and fall short of the requirements of the National Curriculum and the entitlement of the pupils. The danger must be that the use of computers in language teaching will largely be the domain of favoured schools and enthusiastic teachers and fail to achieve the generality of application implied by a national curriculum.
