Abstract:
Drawing on pertinent theories and empirical research, this article examines how technology can be integrated into English Language Teaching (ELT), emphasizing how it affects language acquisition, learner engagement, and teacher practice. It also reviews current ELT technological tools and platforms, talks about the pedagogical implications of digital innovation, and highlights both opportunities and challenges. The article makes the case that, when used effectively, technology improves communicative competence, supports autonomous learning, and promotes intercultural understanding in a globalized world.
