Utilizing Technological Resources in Education: Incorporating Digital Tools to Improve English Language Learning Experiences among High School Students
الملخص
This study demonstrated how technology is becoming more and more important in education and how it might improve language instruction and learning opportunities. It addressed the necessity of comprehending how teaching methods and student results are affected by the incorporation of technology in ELT. To gather quantitative information on a range of topics about technology integration in ELT, a structured survey questionnaire was created and sent to forty high school students. Items on attitudes, preferences, and experiences with digital tools—as well as their perceived advantages and difficulties—were all included in the questionnaire. The study's conclusions highlight the need to give educators chances for professional development so they may improve their ability to integrate technology into their lessons. It also emphasizes how important it is for decision-makers and educational establishments to allocate funds for resources and infrastructure to support effective technology integration in ELT.
