Abstract
It is no doubt that ESL educators pay more and more attention to using computer technologies in their classrooms. This fact implies that each ESL educator has to gain a practical knowledge of how to apply technologies to facilitate their students' learning. This paper reviewed current literature in the fields of ESL and E-Learning technologies. It is hoped to provide a theoretical foundation for ESL and E-Learning research. Two major issues are addressed in this paper. They are: (1) the advantage and importance of utilizing technology in ESL program and (2) how ESL teachers use technologies to assist their students in language acquisition.
