Abstract. Use of Technology in English Language Class Technology is an effective tool for
learners. Learners must use technology as a significant part of their learning process. Teachers
should model the use of technology to support the curriculum so that learners can increase the
true use of technology in learning their language skills. Teachers should find methods of applying
technology as a useful learning instrument for their learners although they have not learnt
technology and are not able to use it like a computer expert. The application of technology has
considerably changed English teaching methods. It provides so many alternatives as making
teaching interesting and more productive in terms of advancement.
Key words: technology, a computer expert, activities, curriculum.

Аннотация. Использование технологий на уроках английского языка. Технология –
эффективный инструмент для учащихся. Учащиеся должны использовать технологии как
значительную часть своего учебного процесса. Учителя должны моделировать
использование технологий для поддержки учебной программы, чтобы учащиеся могли
более эффективно использовать технологии в освоении своих языковых навыков. Учителя
должны найти методы применения технологий в качестве полезного инструмента
обучения для своих учеников, хотя они не изучали технологии и не могут использовать их
как компьютерные эксперты. Применение технологий значительно изменило методы
преподавания английского языка. Он предоставляет так много альтернатив, как сделать
обучение интересным и более продуктивным с точки зрения прогресса.
Ключевые слова: технологии, компьютерный специалист, деятельность, учебная
программа.
Technology has been defined by different researchers. According to İŞMAN (2012), it is
the practical use of knowledge particularly in a specific area and is a way of doing a task especially
using technical processes, methods, or knowledge. The usage of technology includes not only
machines (computer hardware) and instruments, but also involves structured relations with other
303
humans, machines, and the environment (İŞMAN, 2012). According to Hennessy, Ruthven, and
Brindley (2005) and Pourhosein Gilakjani (2017), technology integration is defined in terms of
how teachers use technology to perform familiar activities more effectively and how this usage
can re -shape these activities.
Dockstader (2008) defined technology integration as the use of technology to improve the
educational environment. It supports the classroom teaching through creating opportunities for
learners to complete assignments on the computer rather than the normal pencil and paper. Use of
Technology in English Language Class Technology is an effective tool for learners. Learners must
use technology as a significant part of their learning process. Teachers should model the use of
technology to support the curriculum so that learners can increase the true use of technology in
learning their language skills (Costley, 2014; Murphy, DePasquale, & McNamara, 2003).
Learners’ cooperation can be increased through technology. Cooperation is one of the important
tools for learning. Learners cooperatively work together to create tasks and learn from each other
through reading their peers’ work (Keser, Huseyin, & Ozdamli, 2011).
Bennett, Culp, Honey, Tally, and Spielvogel (2000) asserted that the use of computer
technology lead to the improvement of teachers’ teaching and learners’ learning in the classes. The
use of computer technology helps teachers meet their learners’ educational needs. According to
Bransford, Brown, and Cocking (2000), the application of computer technology enables teachers
and learners to make local and global societies that connect them with the people and expand
opportunities for their learning. They continued that the positive effect of computer technology
does not come automatically; it depends on how teachers use it in their language classrooms.
According to Susikaran (2013), basic changes have come in classes beside the teaching methods
because chalk and talk teaching method is not sufficient to effectively teach English.
Raihan and Lock (2012) state that with a well -planned classroom setting, learners learn
how to learn efficiently. Technology -enhanced teaching environment is more effective than
lecture -based class. Teachers should find methods of applying technology as a useful learning
instrument for their learners although they have not learnt technology and are not able to use it like
a computer expert. The application of technology has considerably changed English teaching
methods. It provides so many alternatives as making teaching interesting and more productive in
terms of advancement (Patel, 2013). In traditional classrooms, teachers stand in front of learners
and give lecture, explanation, and instruction through using blackboard or whiteboard. These
methods must be changed concerning the development of technology. The usage of multimedia
texts in classroom assists learners in become familiar with vocabulary and language structures.

The application of multimedia also makes use of print texts, film, and internet to enhance
learners’ linguistic knowledge. The use of print, film, and internet gives learners the chance to
collect information and offers them different materials for the analysis and interpretation of both
language and contexts (Arifah, 2014). Dawson, Cavanaugh, and Ritzhaupt (2008) and Pourhosein
Gilakjani (2014) maintained that using technology can create a learning atmosphere centered
around the learner rather than the teacher that in turn creates positive changes. They emphasized
that by using computer technology, language class becomes an active place full of meaningful
tasks where the learners are responsible for their learning. Drayton, Falk, Stroud, Hobbs, and
Hammerman (2010) argued that using computer technology indicates a true learning experience
that enhances learners’ responsibilities.
Technology encourages learners to learn individually and to acquire responsible behaviors.
The independent use of technologies gives learners self-direction. According to Arifah (2014), the
use of internet increases learners’ motivation. The use of film in teaching helps learners to realize
the topic with enthusiasm and develop their knowledge. Learners can learn meaningfully when
technology is used in the process of learning through using computer and internet. When learners
learn with technology, it assists them in developing their higher order thinking skills. It can be
concluded that the true combination of multimedia and teaching methodology is very important to
attract learners’ attention towards English language learning.
The literature review indicated that technology resources cannot guarantee teachers’
teaching and learners’ learning. Teachers should be convinced of the usefulness and advantages
of technology in improving learners’ learning. This means that teachers need support and training
for integrating technology into language teaching. The review revealed that when technology is
used appropriately, it can bring about a lot of advantages to teachers and learners. It is a resource
that can be used by learners because it helps them solve their learning problems and find methods
to use what they have learnt in ways that are effective and meaningful. In addition, the review
literature indicated that the use of technologies plays a key role in language learning based on their
own pace, helps in self-understanding, does not stop interaction with the teacher, and creates high
motivation in learners for the effective learning of language skills.
Furthermore, the paper represented that learners should use technology to enhance their
language skills because it has as a crucial role in developing learners’ creativity and provides them
with interesting, enjoyable, and exciting alternatives to study the language. To sum up, the findings
of this literature review showed that technology provides interaction between teachers and
learners, provides comprehensible input and output, helps learners to develop thinking skills,
305
makes learning and teaching becomes more student -centered, promotes learners’ autonomy and
helps them feel more confident, and increases learners’ motivation to effectively learn a foreign
language.
