“…Above all, the integration of ICT in learning activities should not be merely an additional aid. Instead, it should transform the learning process, assisting learners to reach the most essential level in the construction of knowledge (McCormick & Scrimshaw, 2001). According to Murray (2008) the use of ICT in LTL can be developed from marginal to transformative according to neuroscientific evidence.…”

Indonesian ELT is complex for numerous reasons, and the level of students" outcome has been regarded unsatisfactory by a number of researchers and academics. This paper considers ICT as one of possible alternatives to deal with the complexity of Indonesian ELT and to improve its outcomes. It widely explores ICT integration in English LTL, especially on how ICT has been used in this field. It further investigates the benefits and challenges of integrating ICT in LTL. The paper argues that the integration of ICT is promising for changing and improving the effectiveness of the current Indonesian ELT condition when it is carried out in line with the effective LTL principles. The integration of ICT will enable teachers to vary teaching and learning activities, to gradually change the teaching style to be more student-centred, to train students to have more active role in learning, and to access a huge range of authentic learning materials. The paper also acknowledges the contraints that will emerge in an effort of integrating ICT in Indonesian English LTL. Hence, some recommedations for action are proposed at the end.

Abstract-With the development of new technologies, such as Web pages, Apps or social network, the language learning environment seems to be more multiple and interesting. The aim of this paper is to use iPad App in a Taiwanese classroom to help students' English vocabulary acquisition. During the 18-week lecture, the instructor chose two freshman English classes with a total of 74 students in a private university in Taiwan to be the research subjects. The classes were divided into 2 groups, that is, the experimental group and the control group. In the experimental group, the instructor used iPad "Learn British English WordPower App" to teach English vocabulary while the instructor used the traditional semantic-map method to teach English vocabulary in the control group. The vocabulary teaching lasted about 15 minutes each time, and students under the iPad instruction were able to see the words, word pictures and example sentences through the classroom projector. Besides, class one was asked to fill out the questionnaire to understand students' attitude toward iPad App teaching in the classroom. The results showed that at the end of the semester, students who received the iPad vocabulary teaching instruction performed better on the post-test. Also, the survey found out that students agreed on using technologies in the classroom can help language learning. That is, using iPad Apps in language teaching can not only enhances students' learning outcomes, but also increases students' learning motivation.

“…Talking about Information Technology, Scrimshaw and McCormick (2001) in their article entitled 'Information and Communications Technology' consider pervasive interactions which are unique to postmodernism. These interactions provide the availability of infinite, multi-purpose relations for learners whose continuity assists in the formation of small and numerous societies in a school.…”

The purpose of this study is to analyze the degree of globalization of important indicators of education system in Iran including teaching approaches, educational tools and facilities, curriculums and contents, and education management.Findings suggest that the situation of Iranian education system has some distance with the globalized level and post modernism and is more aligned with traditional indicators and is stagnant and somehow modernity. Among these indicators, teaching approaches are closer to the globalized level and educational tools and facilities are further than others relative to the globalized standards.Holding in-service training courses for teachers and encouraging them to obtain higher scientific degrees as well as equipping schools with educational technologies by the help of designating more budget, motivating non-centralized programs, employing graduates of education management fields in order to take charge of management in education system can lead to a reduction in the gap between education system of Iran and the globalized one.
