Abstract

We are currently in an era where technology is everywhere and essential. Additionally, technology has transformed how we teach English. Integrating modern technology represents a significant advancement in contemporary English language teaching and learning. Most current English language teachers are actively utilizing various technological tools to enhance teaching effectiveness. In terms of language education, digital media is becoming increasingly prominent in the classroom. Generally, teaching and learning language today appear to be more engaging due to the technological landscape. It fosters a sense of creativity and, above all, an innovative approach. The concept of 'e-learning' or 'Technology in Language Acquisition' has turned into a prominent term in all educational environments. Learners in the 21st century recognize the importance of technology in the language acquisitions. While traditional methods mostly rely on lecturing, today's learning systems emphasize interactivity. Recent technologies like blogs, the internet, interactive whiteboards, smartphones, Skype, Twitter, YouTube, and many others have not only enhanced learning but also boosted student engagement and genuine interactivity in the classroom. This paper intends to identify the various technological elements utilized in English teaching and learning that introduce innovative techniques and foster effective, high-quality education.
