THE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING: TRANSFORMING MODERN PEDAGOGY

Abstract

Abstract:The integration of technology into educational frameworks has fundamentally reshaped modern language pedagogy. This article explores the multifaceted role of technology in English Language Teaching (ELT), analyzing how digital tools enhance student engagement, personalize learning experiences, and democratize access to authentic linguistic resources. By examining the impact of Educational Technology (EdTech), Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL), and Artificial Intelligence (AI), this paper highlights the shift from teacher-centered paradigms to dynamic, learner-centered ecosystems. Finally, the study addresses the pedagogical challenges of digital implementation and underscores the vital role of educators in navigating the digital frontier to foster global communicative competence.
