(2017-01-22) Halfaoui, Soraya
The aim of this research work is an attempt to design a practical framework to integrate effectively ICT in ELT and more precisely in an ESP context, in this case EPSECG of Oran. For so doing, we try to account the underlying factors affecting its success and suggest an adequate plan of action. More precisely we seek to explore the perceptions and attitudes of teachers and learners when using technology. We posit the following hypothesis: to ensure quality education in the 21st century in general and teaching English as a foreign language in particular using ICT, we need as practitioners to line up the triadic dimensions : the psychological, the pedagogical and the technological altogether. Only then the conditions under which the principles of 21st century education could be met, that are: the need for effective communication, the need for successful collaboration, and the need for the development of problem solving strategies. Put together these factors define in a whole psycho-pedagogical framework for ICT integration in TEFL that we propose
