   After de reading, I found interesting information which as teachers should analyze and take in consideration. Above all, I learned some important aspects. One of them, the integration of internet in English Language Teaching (ELT) as an alternative. In consequence to this, internet is incorporated with the purpose to help learners in different areas. Another, Internet allows learners to produce creativity in English on a number of sites, moreover, allows learners to communicative with native speakers and other people by the use  of interactive chat tools even if some programs or students activities are limited.
   Also, I share the affirmation of Clark (1989) about the supplementation and adaptation of authentic materials; actually we can find a variarety of programs on line with help learners in their target language. In other side, is important to consider the selection of materials eve if they are authentic or semi authentic materials according to the interest or needs of learners. Further, the use those websites well selected provided task for learners, increasing the motivation to learn and reducing anxiety in learners.
   Finally, something that I noticed about the reading is about some limitation that it present and not all of those websites are reliable, this means that we should be careful and be conscious about the resources which we going to use. Unfortunately, to be realistic some teachers and students might not have access to use internet at home or in the classroom and they are in traditional education yet.
