USE OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES IN TEACHING ENGLISH LANGUAGE

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technologies has significantly transformed the field of education, particularly foreign language teaching. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) provide English language teachers with innovative tools to improve classroom interaction, learner motivation, and language proficiency. This study examines the effectiveness of ICT integration in teaching English language skills among secondary school students. Using a mixed-method approach, data were collected through classroom observations, student questionnaires, and pre-test/post-test assessments involving 60 learners.

The findings reveal that ICT-supported instruction positively influences students’ vocabulary acquisition, listening comprehension, speaking confidence, and overall engagement. The results also indicate that digital platforms, multimedia resources, and interactive applications create a learner-centered environment that encourages autonomous learning. However, challenges such as limited technical infrastructure, insufficient teacher training, and unequal access to devices remain barriers to successful implementation. The study concludes that ICT can substantially enhance English language teaching when supported by adequate resources and pedagogical planning.
