The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of the Internet in the teaching of English as a foreign language and its pedagogical implication. The author has been making an experimental use of the Internet in his writing course for the past two years. His experience has led him to reconsider the underlying assumptions of language learning. The lack of motivation on the part of the students in writing courses is largely a reflection of too much emphasis on accuracy. In the traditional format of a writing course the students have no readers to whom they should address their messages. For this reason the content of their messages are neglected. The use of E-mail and World-Wide Web (WWW) in the writing course necessarily directs the writers' and readers' attention to the content of the message rather than the accuracy of language. Marshal McLuhan's axiom "The medium is the message" applies to E-mail, which is a revolutionary means of communication not because of its efficiency but because of its impact on the nature of communication. By incorporating E-mail and WWW in the teaching of English it is possible to compensate the neglected area of language learning and reformulate its paradigm.
