Silver bullet - yes? No!

Of course, ICT is not a silver bullet...it is not going to solve all the problems that we, as teachers, face in the teaching of language learning. As it is, the use of ICT has produced pupils who are addicted to gaming, the invasion of privacy, infringement of copyrights, etc. Yes, it is a tool that can be used to enhance language learning but when used wrongly, it can also have detrimental effects on users. Teachers must play an active role in faciliating these ICT sessions in the classroom and pupils must have enough guidance in becoming a critical user.
