Dr. Nidal Zaki Amarin
Abstract
Several assumptions underline the ideas presented in this paper; the societal changes wrought by e-technologies
and /or digital technologies will have greater implications for changes in educational programs than will the

we teach, the way we behave, (Crystal, 2004, 2008a, 2008b, 2011; Gee, 1996, 2000a, 2000b, 2008; Johnson,
