Exploring the Internet Usage for English Language Learning
Abstract: In this article, I
discuss the idea about how Information and Communication Technologies –
particularly the internet- can be developed as a tool to support independent
learning. From my point of view, both new media and education are closely connected.
Moreover, the internet has several functions
that might be explored for academic purposes. Although there are some
possibilities of using internet as a tool to learn English, it might not be
easy to implement this idea in Indonesian universities because of various
problems caused by cultural background, educational institution, government,
community, also student’s and teacher’s perspectives. This paper explains these
complexities in five parts: introduction; literature review; analysis; solutions;
and conclusions which all are connected to the concepts of language, culture
and identity.
