Abstract: The integration of technology in English language classrooms has emerged as a transformative approach in contemporary education, reshaping teaching methodologies, learner engagement, and language acquisition processes. Technological tools—including multimedia resources, online platforms, virtual classrooms, and interactive software—have the potential to enhance communicative competence, foster collaborative learning, and provide personalized learning experiences. However, this integration is not without challenges, including digital divide issues, inadequate teacher training, infrastructural limitations, and resistance to pedagogical change. This study investigates the opportunities and challenges associated with the adoption of technology in English language instruction, examining its impact on teaching practices, learner motivation, and learning outcomes. Drawing on theoretical frameworks such as Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) and constructivist approaches, the paper analyzes how technology-mediated instruction can support communicative and experiential learning. The study also explores policy implications, teacher preparedness, and best practices to optimize technology use in English language classrooms.
