This article explores teachers and students benefits of using Internet-based Language Learning (IBLL) which includes teaching English Language. This paper presents advantages and disadvantages of using internet resources and computers to learn and teach English language. Until quite recently, Internetbased Language Learning was a relevant topic mostly to those with a special interest in that area. Recently, though, the internet has become so widespread in educational institutions and homes and its uses have expanded so dramatically that the majority of English language teachers have started the implications of the internet for language learning. This article provides brief overview of how internet resources can be used for language teaching. It focuses not on a technical description of hardware and software but rather on pedagogical questions that teachers have considered in using internet resources in the classroom.
