Abstract
The twin forces of technology and communication have dominated the entire world since the past century. The force has resulted in a world driven and directed by Information and Communication Technology (lCT). This force is reshaping the whole world activities. The education system is not left out. Educational research has shown that ICT has massive effect on the education system. ICT turns out unprecedented volumes of information for teachers and learners from across the globe to people even in remote villages of the world. This paper agrees that a viable education programme must fully incorporate ICT into the system. Being that teachers are at the nexus of the education system, it becomes imperative that ICT should be built into the curricula of the teacher preparatory institutions so that they can carry it along to their students inside the field. English Language pre-service teachers in particular need to be exposed to an ICT rich curricula to help them function more properly in the field. It is particularly important since English is the language of education as well as globalization. Teacher preparatory institutions could assist the pre-service teachers of English to learn Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) methods of presentation and practice in the delivery of lessons. Above all, because English is the language of instruction in the school system in Nigeria, English teachers, if well trained, will turn out sound students who will function properly in the society. The position of this paper is that teacher preparatory institutions should develop ICT rich curricular to be integrated into the English language teachers' curriculum so as to equip them better for the challenges facing service delivery in the 21 st century.
