Educational technology, teaching, English language learning, Meta-analysisAbstract
This meta-analysis reviews the collection of the articles on technology and its impacts on English language learning and teaching. Effective technology in education can enhance learning experiences and provide access to a wide range of resources for students and educators. It can revolutionize how we teach and learn, making education more engaging, interactive, and inclusive. This article gives ten significant research articles, published between 2013 and 2019. These articles are selected from 40 similar articles on technology and its impacts on |English language learning and teaching. These articles were analysed to explore the various ways in which technology has influenced the acquisition and instruction of the English language. The data were analysed in a systematic design. The findings indicate that technology has significantly converted the outmoded methods of language education and teaching, providing new opportunities for interactive and immersive educational skills. Such as online platforms, mobile applications, and multimedia resources, have been shown to enhance language proficiency, motivation, and engagement among learners. Overall, this meta-analysis highlights the need for further research and the development of effective educational strategies to maximize the benefits of skills in English language education and instruction.
