The Impact of Technology On Language Learning
Language learning has been a subject of profound interest over the years, with
technological advancements continually shaping the way we acquire and
master languages. This literature review aims to explore recent research (within
the last 10 years) on the impact of technology on language learning. The review
will delve into five key aspects: the role of mobile applications, online platforms,
virtual reality, gamification, and social interaction in language acquisition.
Conclusion
In conclusion, technology's impact on language learning over the past decade
has been transformative, reshaping traditional language education approaches.
Mobile applications, online platforms, virtual reality, gamification, and social
interaction have all contributed to enhancing language acquisition experiences.
However, challenges such as over-reliance on technology and unequal access
must be addressed. Moreover, educators play a crucial role in guiding learners
through tech-enhanced learning experiences while maintaining a balance
between cognitive engagement and pedagogical principles. As technology
continues to advance, ongoing research and pedagogical innovation will shape
the future of language learning in exciting and unprecedented ways.
