Innovation in Language Learning

Over the past few years, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has tremendously transformed the way of teaching and learning. Recently, the Moroccan educational system has worked hard and has, enormously, financed and supported the use of ICT tools and devices into the educational sector. However, its integration neglects and does not take into consideration students’ attitudes towards ICT. Fundamentally, without the development of these attitudes, students will not be successful nor will be prepared to acquire new knowledge and to achieve good results in the academic sector. To this end, the present study examined students’ attitudes towards the use and integration of ICT in education and to identify the relationship between students’ attitudes and English achievement. To put it differently, students with a positive tendency towards the use of ICT will lead to satisfactory results; they will be more likely to be motivated to manage their own learning, and develop the requisite skills to become effective learners and the opposite holds true. The findings reveal that there is no statistically significant relationship between attitudes and achievement in English.

Key words:  Information Communication technology (ICT), attitudes, achievement.
