Review
'The Internet and the Language Classroom' certainly lives up to the promise on the sub-title: "a practical guide for teachers". Many of the activities can be adapted for the Business English classroom.' BESIG Business Issues Newsletter

'At a time of near-inflationary publication of books about information and communications technology, this title is noteworthy because of its exhaustive list of 54 practical activities for exploiting the internet in foreign language teaching.' Language Teaching Journal

A treasure box of ideas
I have been using this book for a few months now and the girls in my class, they really love it. Every week we do a different activity from the teaching ideas in the book, and now especially I feel enough confident to teach with the Internet and to make my classes more stimulating and global.

If you wanna go online and use the Internet in your teaching then you should think definitely about buying this book.

Internet and Language Teaching for Dummies
I agree with the other reviewers here. The school I work at has recently invested in four new computers connected to the Internet. Nobody really knew what to do with them until I was given the job of training everbody. This book provided all the knowledge I needed to get started and explain to everyone else the enormous potential of the Internet in the language classroom.

Since we had our training sessions using this book it's been almost impossible to book time in the computer lab - it's always full of teachers with their classes doing Internet lessons and projects which are clearly laid out and well-planned in this book.

Now I don't know how we ever taught without the Internet. If you want to enrich your language teaching classes then this book is perfect for you.

Internet for the clueless
I bought this book as I've always been interested in the idea of using the internet in classroom, but have always seen it as a scary beast that I wasn't brave enough to try and tame.

The book outlined all the things needed in a clear and concise fashion, even an internet novice such as myself was able to follow. On top of that there are lots of practical internet lessons and ideas that are easy to implement and were enjoyed by my students.

I would readily recommend this book to anyone who is thinking of using the internet with their students, wether they're used to using it or a complete novice
