Introduction

Computer has now become an effective component of second language learning pedagogy. Professionals in ELT, nowadays, recognize that utilizing computer technology and its attached language learning programs can be convenient to create both independent and collaborative learning environments and provide students with language experiences as they move through the various stages of second language acquisition (Lam, 2000).The practice of sharing resources, materials and ideas is one of the assumed advantages of email communication (Vinagre, 2008). Other perceived benefits refer to availability at any time, spreading the news quickly fostering social communication, and encouraging equal opportunity for participation in social interactions (Warschauer, 1999).

The combination of computer technology and Internet creates a channel for students to obtain a huge amount of human experience and guide students to enter the “Global Community” (Crystal, 1999). In this way, students not only can extend their personal view, thought, and experience, but also can learn to live in the real world. They become the creators not just the receivers of knowledge. And, “as the way information is presented is not linear, second language learners can still develop thinking skills and choose what to explore” (Lee, 2000).

Moreover, learners can get various authentic reading materials either at school or from home by connecting to the Internet. And, those materials can be accessed 24 hours a day. In a word, computer technology also provides the interdisciplinary and multicultural learning opportunities for students to carry out their independent studies (Baruch, 2005). For learning interaction, Warchauer (2000) indicated that the random access to Web pages would break the linear flow of instruction. By sending E-mail and joining newsgroups, second language learners can also communicate with people they never met before and interact with their own teachers or classmates. Shy or inhibited learners can be greatly benefited through the individualized technology-learning environment, and studious learners can also proceed at their own pace to achieve higher levels.

Surfing internet has many advantages. It is something enjoyable, moreover if we understand about it. By searching internet people know the current things. Nowadays, searching internet is developed a lot and known everywhere because of the effect of globalization era on information sector (Graddol, 1997).

Moreover, searching internet is very advantageous for English students, not only as something enjoyable but also as motivation to learn English. Finally, the students can also learn a lot of things from searching internet such as – grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, style, intonation even culture, habits, etc., from the sources directly.

Bloch (2002) argues that “computer users often act as if they were participating in face-to-face interactions, introducing conventions and personal feelings normally used in non-computer contexts. Misunderstandings or conflicts that might be rectified immediately in a face-to-face context may continue indefinitely when email is used”.
