Abstract
The application of new technologies in the classroom cannot be considered as unusual anymore, especially, if we take into consideration the great boom of multimedia education and how the interest for educational programmes on digitalized media, such as CD-ROM or DVD, has increased in recent years. It is no wonder then that foreign language studies have suffered from these innovations in the area of new technologies. At this point, we would add that as this alternative to traditional education attracts most young people’s attention. We should not ignore the enthusiasm young people feel for everything related to modern technologies, like computers, internet, online games or mobile phones. For this reason, we want to expose a series of possibilities the internet offers to this young public to get "hooked on" an online learning of foreign languages.
