Abstract:
This paper concerns the effect of ICT use in the process of foreign language
learning, specifically English, in different learners’ personality types. Our aim
is to test whether the use of ICT in English classes, or at home, during students’
primary and secondary education, has had an impact on students’ language
proficiency and whether and to what extent that impact has been influenced
by students being introverted or extroverted. This small-scale research was
carried out at Singidunum University, Centre Niš, on first year students, whose
knowledge of English ranges from A1 to B2. From the results obtained, it
can be noticed that there is a significant correlation between the personality
type and teaching methods in relation to language learning. Furthermore,
in terms of frequency and purposes for ICT use, and what they perceive as
a good possibility for language improvement, there are differences between
male and female students. Most students would not opt for a replacement
of a traditional face-to-face contact with ICT. However, since young adults
increasingly use ICT for non-educational purposes, it would be irresponsible
not to take advantage of that and encourage and teach students to become
ICT-oriented when it comes to education, as well.
