Introduction

The impact of ICT on literacy learning in English is a topical and important issue. There is a need for an authoritative review of research in this field, not least because governments worldwide are investing heavily in the provision of hardware and software to educational institutions as well as in the training of teachers and students of all ages in the application of ICT in literacy learning. To date there has been no such review. We need to gather and synthesize evidence about the impact of ICT on literacy learning.
