Abstract:
Online resources have become an inevitable tool in English language teaching. However, delving into this ocean of unlimited resources requires appropriate knowledge and experience from the English language teachers for potential effective implementation in their language classes. The objective of this study is to investigate the perceptions of the English language teachers on the effective integration of these resources at the higher education level. For this purpose, a questionnaire survey was administered to 120 English language teachers randomly selected from nine colleges and universities in the Kingdom of Bahrain and their perceptions were collected toward incorporating online resources in English language teaching classes. The results confirmed that a vast majority of the teachers had a positive attitude towards the effectiveness of online components in their teaching. The research work encourages the English language teachers to incorporate online resources and suggests various efficient ways of exploiting webbased resources in teaching English effectively to make the language teaching process more realistic and practical
