Introduction

Since 1997 English has become a subject taught in Korean elementary schools. The
Korean English market is huge and from 5 years of age children study English in
kindergarten through adults. They take the TOEIC, TESOL, TOFLE, and speaking
classes. There is no exaggeration to mention that all over the country excessively
adhere to English. And then how the elementary English teachers should teach
effectively in these environment? Students take private lessons even they learn
English in school. To solve this problem, public English education should reflect real
life and the needs it produces.
While many theories dealing with this problem focus on overturning the traditional
teaching style between a teacher and a student, wherein a reversal of the typical active
teacher/ passive student roles occurs, the challenge of instituting methods which allow
creative and generative dialogue in the target language still exists. This challenge
becomes particularly critical when new and evolving technologies become the most
viable vehicle for change. Because of lack of opportunity for true interaction in
second language studies is significant. One method to solve problem is to focus on
computer assisted language learning (CALL), a method already extant in many
Korean educational institutions. This focus on CALL becomes doubly important when
the role the computer plays in the lives of the younger Korean generation (Internet
Generation) is considered.

By this hence, teacher should decide that he would like his students to have more
opportunities to actively participate in their learning. To engage them with the
material teacher is planning on teaching it seems that a good way to interest students
will be through technology. Teacher decides to redesign a lesson plan using
collaborative learning principles and web 2.0 tools to enhance the material.
Nowadays, young students are exposed to more opportunities to learn an English
through Internet. We can say that these students are Internet Generation. Utilizing
technology to teach students of any age can be engaging, effective, and fun.
Assessment and learning goals can be reached, and exceeded, by understanding and
properly utilizing the digital tools available to both teachers and students alike.
Rather than just a textbook, they interact with many different kinds of materials for
their studying and they will help improve their learning. There has been continuous
development in education system on existing computers. Teachers and students are
thinking and convincing recently that how computers can be used effectively to learn
English and to some extent, we should follow the trends.
