“Computing is not about computers any more. It is about living”(Negroponte, 1995). Computing is bringing drastic changes to our lives and communities as well to research and education. These changes will only accelerate in the future. It is absolutely essential for language teachers to keep pace with this new technology and develop their teaching and research according to the new paradigms. The Japan Association of College English Teachers (JACET) set up a digitization project to promote electronic systems among JACET members in 1995. There were two aims for this project. One was the introduction of electronic technologies into JACET daily activities. The other was the application of these technologies to preparations for the World Congress of AILA’99 in Tokyo hosted by JACET and the Science Council of Japan. Wed pages, mailing lists, and e-mail communications are being used for the first time for online collaboration among the AILA ’99 preparation committee members. These new types of communication are expected to provide an efficient and economical means for decision-making. The project also has a group which analyses and evaluates the project. It has done two surveys on the state of the application of electronic technologies among JACET members in 1996 and 1997. The results showed that more and more members were applying electronic technologies to their research and educational activities. The survey will be done every year to watch how this technology influences English education researchers in Japan. The present paper describes how the new communication technologies are being introduced into the AILA’99 preparation committee work and presents the results of the two surveys on the application of electronic technologies among JACET members in 1996 and 1997.
