Extractions: http://www.waseda.ac.jp/faculty/96050/index-e.html A presentation given at the CALL: Basics and Beyond conference at Chubu University, Nagoya, Japan, on May 31, 1997. I had two main motivations for starting to use the Internet in my English classes. First, I wanted students to be exposed to a wider range of English than they usually encounter in their daily lives in Japan; in particular, I hoped to find native speaking e-mail penpals for them. Second, I wanted to encourage students to use English for pleasure outside of class, and thought if I taught them the basics of e-mail and "netsurfing," they would be likely to continue these activities during their free-time. When I actually tried using the Internet in the classroom, these expectations were fulfilled, and I also discovered many other good reasons for doing such projects. Learning to use computers provides a strong intrinsic motivation for learning English.
