لقد فرض عصر العولمة والمعلوماتية تغيرات عديدة على مستوى العالم اجتاحت جل القطاعات الحيوية في المجتمع بما فيها قطاع التربية و التعليم، فاصبح استخدام تكنولوجيات الاعلام و الاتصال السمعي البصري في حياة الافراد اليومية و كذا ادراج بعض منها كالكمبيوتر و الانترنات في مختلف مؤسسات التربية و التعليم -خاصة الجامعات- واحدا من بين مؤهلات الرقي والعالمية .استنادا على ما تم ذ كره تهدف هذه الدراسة الميدانية الى ابراز اهمية التكنولوجيات الحديثة )الكمبيوتر والانترنات( في تعليم و تعلم اللغة الانجليزية الاجنبية بصفة عامة مع التركيز على فعاليتها في قسم القراءة المكثفة .اشتملت الدراسة التى تمت بقسم اللغة الانجليزية الاجنبية بجامعة حسيبة بن بو علي على 24 طالب و 4 اساتذة كمجموعة تجريبية. تمحورت اهم النتائج في التطور الكبير و السريع للطلبة فى مادة القراءة وتجاوبهم الايجابى مع التكنولوجية كوسيلة ساعدت في تنمية بعض كفاءاتهم الاستعابية عند القراءة ، كما ابرزت النتائج استحسان الاساتذة لدور التكنولوجية في تنشيط حصة المطالعة المكثفة و تشجيع الطلاب على المثابرة عليها و الاستفادة منها في مشوارهم الدراسي، العملي و العلمي.
Using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) such as computers and internet to teach EFL reading- particularly extensive reading- is graining wide concern among researchers and teachers in different settings. ICT are nowadays representing a sign of progress in education and a crucial factor to pursue requirements of the changing world and the digital generation of students. At the Algerian university level, some EFL reading classrooms are unfortunately still depending on traditional matters in teaching/learning reading (both intensively and extensively) allowing students no chance to interact with the technology in the reading session. The present work is an experiment conducted at Hassiba Ben-Bouali University of Chlef, it aims primarily at investigating EFL university students’ attitudes and teachers’ reactions to computer/internet extensive reading classroom and seeks to shed light on the importance and benefits of introducing ICT in the EFL extensive reading classroom. We thus address the following questions: How can the EFL teacher bridge the gap between traditional and technology-enhanced extensive reading classroom? What are the benefits of introducing ICT in the EFL extensive reading classroom? How to convince students of the important role of technologies (computers/ internet) in extensive reading? What are the main constraints faced by the teacher and the students in the technology-enhanced extensive reading classroom? To what extent will students and teachers benefit from the technology in extensive reading? CT and Reading : In the Technology- Enhanced Extensive Reading Classroom. To this end an overview about technology-enhanced classroom is presented followed by an illustration of the principle benefits of ICT in learning EFL in general and the advantages of computer/internet technologies in reading/extensive reading in particular. A comparison between the traditional and the technologyenhanced reading classroom is also dealt with so that to serve as a background for the study. Participants in the experiment are 24 students and 4 teachers chosen randomly. Results of this investigation have reinforced the view that ICT, especially computer/internet have major benefits on students’ achievement in reading/extensive reading in the sense that these technologies motivate students to read both intensively and extensively, strengthen their reading competence and make them enjoy the reading act. Findings of this study have also reinforced the important role ICT play in aiding EFL teachers introduce novelty in the reading classroom and engage students actively in the fruitful skill of extensive reading.
