The document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using information and communication technologies (ICT) in English language teaching. Some key advantages are that teachers and students can access up-to-date information and materials cheaply and rapidly online or through software. However, implementing ICT also has disadvantages like requiring mandatory computer use, more time for lesson planning, and unreliable internet sources. Additionally, while ICT expands jobs in related fields, not all teachers have the ability to learn and apply new technologies due to lack of training or financial resources.
