Internet, ICT, VLE, digital media and software as such have heralded a new era in many aspects of our lives, to which education is no exception. As used in communication, internet communication tools began to de used in education especially in teaching English language and literature learning as the case study in this paper. As a result of the application of cyber technologies, both teaching and learning are facilitated. Students learn faster and easier than before because of the use of technology in schools. Learning English through the web and using new trends in education in schools make students willing to learn the literature too. The aim of this study is to review technology in English language and literature learning activities and internet communication tools in use. Moreover, technologies as internet have always been interesting to the students, thus based on this assumption it would be discussed how teachers can make English learning in the educational environments more enjoyable through enjoyment available in the study of literature too.
