Firstly, technology improves and increases in use of web-based materials and tools are due to the fact that computers and internet bring in many possibilities for pedagogical innovations. They facilitate learners' access to language materials as well as giving them the opportunity to practice different language skill. In addition, the availability of many sources to help students learn in an effortless and enjoyable way. Web-based learning is one of the fastest growing areas in education. It is widely accepted that advances in information technology and new developments in pedagogy provide opportunities to create well-designed, learner-centered, interactive, affordable, efficient, and flexible e-learning environments.


Secondly, using ICT as a classroom tool has many other benefits such as, it provides highly motivational activities for students, this increases opportunities for student interaction and decision making ; also , technology resource illustrates complex processes or concepts provides access to resource ,and  it increases the need for students to develop critical thinking and effective information processing skills.
