ABSTRACT
As information and communication technology systems are becoming increasingly important in every matter of today's world, there is a great pressure on teachers to integrate technology into education, as well. Another reason for integrating computer network technology during classes is to fit the students’ needs, to improve their communication skills in doing business, overall business competence, as well as autonomous learning ability, as a basis for their future work and international business communication. Students should thus be able to reach a solid foundation in English, as well as enough business background.
