Language:TESOL Context
ABSTRACT
In this paper we explain about impact of technology in the context of teaching and
learning English to students as their foreign language.At the first step of this paper, we
analyzes the background of the evolving field of technology in English language learning.At
the second step of this paper we explain about the growth of English through
technology.Third step is how to explain the various necessities of technology in learning
English.After that,we analyze the highlights the disadvantages of technology.At next
level,we explain about balance between technology and traditional teaching and learning.
Finally,the researchers figure out that a judicious and balance in use of technology have a
positive impact on learning English as a foreign language.So use technology tools can
improve learners communication skills and learning in TESOL classroom
INTRODUCTION
Nowadays, in this world, technology have been playing a big role for us and a major impact
on all aspects of life.It plays a vital role in human development and it helps to facilitate social
and linguistic change.Technology is at the heart of globalization, and it affects work, education,
and culture (Graddol, 2012).This is a true explanation of impact of technology in our world.As
the Graddol said Technology is the core and center of globalization,so technology change the
world around us and role of us as a teacher is how to use technology to teaching English as well
as possible.
Technology has changed our perspective of English language teaching(ELT) and it has
created new challenges and responsibilities for teachers, but this technology has also provided
new opportunities to make ELT interesting and innovative.One of the biggest challenges that
technology has brought to ELT is the need to stay up-to-date and These technologies are
becoming more advanced day by day and teachers need to adapt their teaching methods to use
these technologies.These technologies are becoming more advanced day by day and teachers
need to adapt their teaching methods to use these technologies. Although this is a challenge, it
can provide an opportunity to learn new things and stay up-to-date in ELT and we keep ELT
fresh and exciting.
Technology, defined as a process, method, or knowledge applied to accomplish a task, is

considered a learning task or instructional objective in the context of this study. The utilization
of classroom technology stimulates English students to enhance their achievement in the
subject. In addition to conventional teaching methods, technology provides numerous learning
opportunities, equipping teachers with abundant resources and materials for their lessons.
Furthermore, Cutter highlights the enhanced engagement that arises from the integration of
technology. Students are motivated more while they are working on computers and use
modern devices than they are working with textbooks (Cutter, 2015).Technology helps reduce
distractions and helps teachers personalize lessons for students based on their individual needs
Students can also use these tools and technologies to supplement their knowledge.Technology
has always played an important role in the learning environment and as an important and
valuable tool for teachers and helps students to learn more easily and effectively.
Considering the colorful role of technology in our daily life, it is necessary to re-evaluate the
concept of integrating technology into the curriculum and use it to improve the learning
process.This technology integration makes teachersexpand their abilities and provide them
with a variety of opportunities to learn English.For example,displaying English-language videos
or songs relevant to the subject being taught can facilitate faster comprehension and offer
students a clearer perspective on the topic at hand. The use of new-generation technology
gives students a natural context for learner autonomy, context for the identity of learner, new
ways of language use, and motivation for students to create new collaborative and interaction
opportunities between teachers and students under these forms (Murray, 2005).
Technology holds a crucial role in fostering learner engagement and

significantly influences teaching methodologies. If teachers do not incorporate
technology in their instruction, they risk falling behind in this rapidly advancing
field. Consequently, teachers must possess comprehensive expertise in utilizing
these technological tools to effectively teach language skills (Gilakjani, 2014).The
analysis shows that the use of technology in language learning increases students'
participation and concentration, because it allows students to participate in
realistic communication processes.
The process of integrating multimedia technology in classrooms has a positive

effect on learning and contributes to the evolving role of teachers.Various
technology approaches such as web-based language learning programs,
innovative presentation software, dictionaries, chat functions, emails, and
computer-assisted language learning programs can significantly help English
learners.A research that was obtained through a case study approach focused on
a group of students who use technology shows that learning English in the school
setting.Nomass emphasizes the need for further research to address technology-
related issues in classrooms and advocates for integrating technology into
language learning practices. Educators are urged to consider such innovations to
bridge the gap between theory and practice in modern classrooms(Nomass,
2013).
The incorporation of technology has significantly transformed English teaching

methodologies (Altun, 2015). It offers so many options for the advancement of
education to be interesting and productive (Patel, 2013).Using modern
technology in the classroom helps language learners to learn language structure
and vocabulary.The use of technology also increases the linguistic knowledge of
the learners, that technology means such as smart boards, computers and display
screens.The use of technology increases the motivation of language learners.
Using technology in teaching helps students to understand and develop their
knowledge with enthusiasm(Solikhah, 2020).
