A. INTRODUCTION.
Technology in teaching English is about using digital tools, apps, and online
resources to make learning more effective and enjoyable. It helps teachers create
engaging lessons and gives students more opportunities to practice their language skills.
For example, teachers can use videos, interactive games, or online quizzes to teach
vocabulary, grammar, or pronunciation. Students can practice speaking with AI programs
or improve their listening skills by using apps and websites. Technology also makes it
easier for students to study at their own pace, anywhere and anytime.
This subject also examines how teachers can choose the right tools and solve
common problems, such as helping students who are unfamiliar with technology.
Learning about technology in teaching English helps teachers improve their methods and
gives students a more modern and fun way to learn the language.
