iTILT stands for // ** i **nteractive ** T **echnologies ** I **n ** L **anguage ** T **eaching //, and is a European project which aims to promote best practice in communicative language teaching using interactive whiteboards.

Interactive whiteboards may look like normal whiteboards, but they can facilitate the integration of new media in the classroom, enhance learner engagement, support new electronic literacies and meet the needs of students with diverse learning styles. If used well, IWBs can significantly transform the language classroom. For this to happen, teachers need to be given adequate training and support in how to use the tool communicatively, to be aware of strategies and procedures for designing effective IWB materials, and to have the opportunity to reflect on their own practice.

** Project Aims **
 * produce effective IWB training materials for language teachers
 * inform teachers of IWB best practice based on research
 * provide a support network for teachers and schools
 * bring together teachers from all sectors (primary, secondary, tertiary, vocational) of education
 * encourage the sharing of example lesson plans
 * promote reflective practice with IWBs
