Internet use, e mail in efl classroom

This document discusses using email in EFL classrooms and its benefits. It notes that email is a popular way for users to communicate on the internet and is often one of the first applications learned. Email allows teachers to stay in contact with students and provide language stimuli outside of class. It provides exposure to the target language through reading and writing emails, and allows students to interact with people from different cultures. Basic email skills that should be taught include understanding mechanics, appropriate language levels, and netiquette rules. Email can be used to submit assignments, conduct projects that involve emailing real organizations, and set up class mailing lists for discussion.
