The most innovative endeavor the teachers of English have undertaken so far is to integrate media technology in ELT classroom, in order to improve learners motivation, integrated language skills and self-learning environment.. The aim of this study is to statistically explore EFL learners response towards media technology in general and its impact in improving accentual patterns of individual English words in particular. It also explores the impact of internet and teachers role in improving learners' writing skill. Three statistical surveys were undertaken at JCC, King Abdul Aziz University, KSA and the result of using electronic devices was found marvelous and interesting.References
