Abstract
The integration of educational technology into language teaching has revolutionized traditional pedagogical approaches. From multimedia resources and virtual classrooms to AI-powered platforms and language learning apps, technology has enhanced engagement, accessibility, and efficiency in language acquisition. This paper explores the current trends in educational technology, evaluates its impact on language teaching and learning, and discusses challenges associated with its implementation. The findings suggest that, when effectively integrated, technology fosters learner autonomy, improves interaction, and supports differentiated instruction. However, its success depends on teachers’ digital literacy and institutional infrastructure.
