Abstract
This paper advocates the important role of English language teaching in preparing students to succeed in the era of globalization which can be accomplished through distance education via Inter- and Intranet Pedagogy. The following key elements in this approach of language teaching and learning are discussed: syliabus, materials, tasks and activities, testing and evaluation, and the roles of teachers and students. As regards the design of the syllabus, the readiness of infrastructure, the training of net teachers and the readiness of the students have to be taken into account. Materials for the "global classroom" should include both teaching and learning materials. Tasks and activities for the Inter- and Intranet Pedagogy require prior preparation and planning of the use of the computer room to ensure that the objectives of the lessons will be accomplished. To assess students' performance, means of testing and evaluation have to correspond with the nature of teaching. The Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) provides advantages for this approach. Finally, the success or failure of the approach depends on the attitude and the receptiveness of the teachers and students to the demand placed on their changing roles.
