Technology has become an essential component of modern English language teaching, transforming traditional instructional models and offering new opportunities for interaction, creativity, and linguistic development. Its integration into classrooms and online learning environments has changed how teachers deliver content and how learners engage with language. This article explores the role of technology in English language teaching, highlighting digital tools, interactive platforms, and online resources that enhance communication, feedback, autonomy, and motivation. Through a human-centered and context-sensitive perspective, the study examines how teachers adapt their practices, how learners respond to technologically enriched environments, and how digital tools reshape pedagogical approaches. The aim is to demonstrate that technology, when used thoughtfully, can support more personalized, flexible, and engaging language learning experiences.
