ICT allows for integration of literacy skills and opportunities for collaboration. It engages students in reading and writing in ways not possible through traditional methods, allowing them to focus on content without concerns about handwriting. Text-to-speech technology lets students hear text read aloud simultaneously, while the internet provides high quality information and resources for research projects and real-time collaboration. Effective use of ICT in ESL classrooms requires tools like digital whiteboards, tablets, webcams and smartphones.
