FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING TECHNOLOGIES
Keywords:
Foreign language teaching, educational technology, online learning, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, gamification, adaptive learning.Abstract
The integration of technology in foreign language teaching has significantly transformed traditional methods, making learning more interactive and efficient. This article explores various technological tools, including online platforms, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and gamification, and their impact on language acquisition. The study highlights the effectiveness of these tools in enhancing learners' engagement, retention, and fluency. While technology offers numerous benefits, challenges such as digital literacy and the lack of human interaction in virtual learning environments remain. The findings suggest that a blended approach, combining digital tools with traditional teaching, is the most effective strategy for foreign language instruction.
