Abstract:
This paper examines the problematic issue of how to integrate Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
tools and skill development into the language curriculum. It reports on a case study which was conducted at a French
teacher training college where changes to curriculum requirements meant that generalist trainee pnmary school teachers
had to acquire proficiency in teaching English as a Foreign Language for the first time. ICT provided an effective alternative
solution to classroom instruction. The study found a range of benefits from ICT and curriculum tntegratton: greater student
motivation and greater pleasure in study. more practice in the English language and a much broader cultural competence.
as well as the development of a range of ICT competencies.
