This paper discusses the use of ICT in blended learning, where digital materials in language education enhance print-based classroom instruction. By way of illustration it introduces iZone, a print-digital series designed around a lab integrated with its accompanying textbook, making the face-to-face classroom and the online lab an interdependent whole. Advances in computer technology help to overcome the limitations of classroom-only instruction, and the third way referred to here is one that delivers unified content through different media, neither purely online nor just in class. Advantages to this approach include greater learner autonomy and flexibility, with choice of time, place and manner of studying, and also a more participatory learning style. Ultimately, what is envisioned is more effective and more efficient use of time and energy which each individual devotes to study and learning needs. Integrated and interconnected study programmes may help to harness the potential of technological developments in language education.
