1.Roles of Computers in Language Learning A. Advantages of a computer More interactive aid compared with other media. May act as a teacher or tutor, providing material, guiding a student how to learn it, and giving more information and explanation. It can be a very effective and efficient reference book. It can be utilized to communicate visually with students.

B. Computers and Language Learning Computer technology will increasingly penetrate all areas of life, including education. The technology of education and communication are two sides of the same coin. Computer can be utilized to enhance language learning, and can also be used to generate examples to illustrate certain operation, or to stimulate conversation.

C. Issues regarding the change of methods of language teaching There have so many methods used for teaching the language. The best medium is in which students relate to the source of information about the target language, together with the way in which that ‘source’ is able to respond to the student’s learning behavior, and the way in which it can provide opportunities for students to engage in interaction. Computer-based language instruction is assumed to be better than any other non-computer mediated language instruction method in a number of ways.

2. ICT TOOLS AND UTILISATION IN EDUCATION Introduction: It is generally agreed that ICT is a crucial resource in education. Students use computers from an early age and continue to university level. Students taught practical ICT skills that are transferable into the work place.

ADVANTAGES According to Hartoyo, M.A., Ph.D., There are some advantages of utilizing ICT-computer in language learning ICT serves as the ‘media’ bridging and enabling the learning process, or event direct communicator between students and teacher although they are not present in the same room or place. ICT can be created to enable students to learn the lessons with the guidance, instruction, information, or further explanation for specific terms merged on the program. (such as ‘tutorial’)  

ICT-computer in language learning is that it can be an inseparable ‘reference book’ ICT-computer can serve as a peer for students in playing educational games, or as source of learning material, which can give illustration for verbally difficult to explain concepts as well as other interactive and attractive illustration. (If combined with other media, such as video)
