The rapid development of information and communication technologies has significantly transformed educational practices worldwide, particularly in the field of English Language Teaching (ELT). Technology provides innovative opportunities for language acquisition by facilitating interactive learning environments, personalized instruction, and increased learner engagement. This article examines the role of technology in enhancing English language teaching, highlighting various digital tools, pedagogical approaches, advantages, challenges, and future prospects. The study is based on an analysis of contemporary literature and educational practices. Findings indicate that technology integration improves language proficiency, motivation, communication skills, and learner autonomy. However, effective implementation requires adequate teacher training, technological infrastructure, and pedagogically sound instructional design.
