Abstract

English language teaching has advanced greatly because of the incorporation of modern technology. Electronic teaching systems have positive effects on student engagement and English language acquisition. The vast majority of modern English language teachers make use of some form of technology help in the classroom. The present study addresses various aspects of technology used in English education in Pakistan by building creative curriculum that utilizes contemporary scientific and technical advancements, educating instructors with technological skills to ensure effective and quality topic delivery, and creating student-teacher platforms that optimize positive language learning results. This research combed the appropriate literature for definitions of technology in both contemporary and historical contexts, then connected these definitions with effective pedagogical practices. In light of this, the researcher presents a definition of the study's central topic, an explanation of the study's aims and hypotheses, and the study's results. The paper concludes with a list of suggestions for furthering the implementation of modern technologies in academic settings.
