  • many TESOL programs still lack adequate integration of learning technologies into their curricula. Teachers are not receiving sufficient-instruction or practice in the integration of learning technologies into their courses
  • However, if one looks at course offerings and course descriptions within TESOL programs, especially undergraduate, it is evident that few model the use of the emerging technologies for ESL instruction
