abstract: Improvement in the teaching of English as a second language is a concern among many teachers of English
today. New sources of information are sought for to discover effective ways of teaching. A currently
favoured but not widely explored means of teaching the English language is via the Internet. The Internet
offers a variety of resources which teachers can use to make the teaching of English more interesting and
effective. Apart from teaching materials teachers can get a lot of information on new developments in the
teaching of English. This paper discusses how teachers can use Internet based resources to make their
lessons mor effective and interesting. Evidence of the effectiveness of Internet based resources is taken
from a research study which was recently conducted. The findings of this study showed that teachers were
able to be creative and resourceful in the language classroom. This paper also offers alternative techniques
of teaching of English as a second language using the Internet. It presents the teaching resources which are
available on the Internet and describes creative ways of using them. (Authors' abstract)
