The role of information technologies in teaching English

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. There are many factors that determine the future of our country. However, one of the most important of them is the highly spiritual, physically healthy, well-rounded generation growing up in this country. After all, the future of the country is in the hands of the young people who are maturing today. The noblest dreams, goals, and interests of every person, every family are first of all manifested and realized in the form of their children. The modern society we live in today cannot be imagined without extensive international relations. Therefore, knowing a foreign language in addition to one's mother tongue is not only a cultural, but also an economic requirement.
