Digitally Enhanced Language Acquisition: The Impact of Technological Integration on English Language Learning and Student Engagement

Abstract

This paper investigates the transformative role of technology in English language teaching and its impact on student engagement and language acquisition. With the integration of digital platforms and interactive applications, traditional pedagogical approaches are evolving to meet the demands of the 21st-century learner. Employing a comprehensive survey-based research method, this research gathers and analyzes data from a variety of educational settings. The findings reveal that the use of technology in the classroom not only stimulates learner interest and motivation but also fosters a more dynamic and personalized learning experience. This paper contributes to the field of Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) by providing insights into effective practices and highlighting the potential challenges and pedagogical considerations of integrating technology into language education. The implications of this research are significant for educators, policymakers, and curriculum designers aiming to enrich English language programs and maximize student engagement through technological means.
