Abstract
The development of technology over the last decade has fundamentally changed our daily lives, and
consequently the methodological and didactic approach to the teaching process. The intensive
development of information and communication technologies has introduced significant changes in
the teaching processes in recent decades and focuses teaching methodology on issues of approaching
e-learning and changes in teaching and learning to adapt teaching to the present requirements
and opportunities. To satisfy the requirements of the contemporary school, culture can be interpreted
as "historical creation (of the people) expressed through material and spiritual achievements,
production, styles and ways of working – to put it simply a kind of wisdom of living" (Previšić, 2010,
p. 170). This is exactly what the application of modern information and communication technologies
offers for teaching and learning the English language as a foreign language. One of the important
segments of the culture of the contemporary school is the teaching process, which must first of all
be modern and innovative. The research aimed to examine the attitudes of the students of the
vocational schools in Osijek-Baranja County towards information and communication technology in
learning and teaching. The data were collected through a questionnaire and it was found that
respondents are very positive about the use of information and communication technologies in
learning and teaching, but they are also aware of some of the pitfalls that technology brings.
