TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION IN LANGUAGE TEACHING

Abstract

Technology integration has altered traditional approaches to teaching languages, making the process more interactive, personalized, and accessible. This paper explores how artificial intelligence, mobile applications, and digital tools support language acquisition. In this respect, it discusses how AI is changing adaptive learning systems, automatic pronunciation, speech analysis, and assessment tools. On the other hand, the paper examines mobile applications in terms of their contribution to gamified learning, vocabulary practice, and immersive experiences. It goes further to discuss other digital tools that comprise learning management systems, multi-media resources, and video-conferencing platforms in furthering language learning. While technology integration promotes personalized learning, flexibility, and realism in exposure to real-life language, its challenges include the digital divide, teacher training, and data privacy. The potential of technology for changing language teaching is huge, especially if it continues to evolve. It can, therefore, be considered a promising solution in both the enhancement of classroom and self-directed learning.
