The use of information and communication technologies in teaching a foreign language

Abstract

At the end of the twentieth century humanity has entered a stage of development, which is called the post-industrial or information society. But the judgment “We live in the age of information and communications” is not entirely correct, since both information and communications have always existed. Throughout the thousand-year history, human society has been accumulating knowledge and improving the ways of storing and processing information. First, writing spread, then the printing press, telephone, and television.
