Why have I created this site?
The introduction of the Internet into the EFL (English as a Foreign Language) classroom has brought about many changes in the way instructors approach foreign language teaching. There are several possible reasons for using the Internet in language teaching. One rationale is found in the belief that the linguistic nature of online communication is desirable for promoting language learning. Another possible reason for using the Internet is that it creates optimal conditions for learning to write, for example it provides an authentic audience for written communication. A third possible reason is that it can increase students' motivation. Finally, there is the belief that learning computer skills is essential to students' future success; this reason suggests that it is not only important to use the Internet to learn English, but also to learn English to be able to function well on the Internet.

Who is this site for?
This site is primarily intended for students attending my classes where they can have direct access to information regarding the subjects taught from a broad range of sources on the net. This information includes course objectives, course outlines, course content, suggested reading, procedure of assessment, and useful links to relevant subjects. Having said that, I would highly recommend this site to every student attending my classes.

Furthermore, this site is also intended for those who want to learn Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia). A number of useful links to various sites which provide free online materials are now available. Simply click on the "learn Indonesian" button to visit these sites.

May you find this site both useful and informative. Happy browsing!

P.S. Should you have any query, please contact me at alberth@programmer.net
