Based on the article "CALL Me.. maybe A framework for integrating the Internet into ELT" 

INTERNET, ADVICE OR TOOL?

After reading the article I realized how important internet has become regarding the English Language Teaching or ELT. I can say that internet is a meaningful tool to learn and to teach at the same time, how come? Nowadays there is a huge quantity of technological tools that the internet offers students; as a person who has used different apps or devices to improve my learning process I can say that internet can be the difference between learning and not learning at all.  There are some websites which can help students to develop their English skills outside the classrooms. The article mentions “The grammar girl” who provides information about grammar and even uploads podcasts to improve listening skills. The only thing students need is to have internet access, it is not necessary to be at their houses but they can do it from their universities or work places. Also, YouTube has become a relevant implement in the languages learning process; there are people who upload videos explaining different topics, grammar, pronunciation strategies and more.  If you did not understand something about the topic, you can always go to your place and try to review it.  In my opinion, internet plays a huge role in the ELT process. I am not saying that internet can substitute a teacher, but can improve the knowledge that teachers give to students.
