This paper outlines how Information and Communication Technology (ICT) can be used in the form of e-learning by L2 (second/foreign language) teachers. In this study, six language teachers took part in a blended learning course on computer assisted language learning. The study examined how ICT can be used to improve the teaching skills of second/foreign language teachers in Greece, through the incorporation of new technologies in their teaching practices. This article outlines the study that was carried out in the 2008–2009 school year and discusses the results of its implementation.
