Despite the bright promise of technology in language education and the ubiquitous presence of computers in institutions of higher education, pedagogically sound integration of technology in language teaching remains limited to "e-learning champions" and a few dedicated staff in many universities in UK and elsewhere.
This presentation identifies four key elements for the adoption of intelligent, high-quality use of technology in the language classroom:
1.
Leadership, funding and organizational support provided by senior management
2.
Working practices based on collaborative activities and sustained by a Continual and Professional Development programme (CPD)
3.
User friendly IT tools such as VLE, E-repositories...
4.
Learning technologists offering essential technical and pedagogical support
This approach is based in part on a management model called the Resource Based View of the Firm (RBVF) as defined by Ciborra (1998).

Herv� Didiot-Cook has been teaching French at LSE for more than 15 years. He has involved in number of E-learning projects. LSE students learning French as part of their degree in social sciences have been able to access online course material as well as to discuss issues with their counterparts based in the universities of Lille, Paris Dauphine and Columbia (NYC) through the use of interactive text and voice boards (Wimba). The Virtual Learning Environment (WebCT and Moodle) also enables them to discuss graphic animations with Michel Herreria, a visual artist based in Bordeaux and it supports a mentoring scheme between LSE students and secondary school children in one of the most deprived London boroughs. Finally, he has been collaborating with the University of Columbia, teaching staff to store and share multimedia resources through the use of an E-repository and integrate Digital Storytelling in language learning.
