Abstract

This article examines a teacher's experience of incorporating the Internet into a university level reading course. The overall objective was to improve the teaching of reading. The paper presents the procedure for accessing the Internet as a learning tool, including the new terminology associated with the use of the Internet. The effects of using the Internet were investigated though student report forms, diaries and interviews. The findings are predominantly positive, suggesting that other teachers may wish to integrate the use of the Internet with their reading courses.
