Integrating Teaching Technology In Pakistani Language Classrooms

Abstract

The educational sector is facing increasing pressure from technological advancements. Technology has become an essential tool for successful language acquisition in many parts of the world. Although Pakistani education policymakers have highlighted the potential benefits of computers and internet technology, several experts have pointed out that a teacher's attitude plays a significant role in how successfully educational Technology is used. Teachers have the last say on whether or not to use these technologies and how to use them in the teaching process. This study aimed to determine how energized and prepared English language educators in DG Khan, Pakistan, are related to integrating Innovation into their teaching techniques in auxiliary and secondary schools. Twelve current English language educators took part in this paper. Unstructured interviews were utilized to accumulate the information. Three main topics have emerged from the interviews: (a) technology comprehension, (b) variety of Technology, and (c) cultural and traditional approaches to training and education. The participants expressed dissatisfaction with the inadequate budget, limited availability of Technology in educational establishments, and insufficient training to utilize Technology effectively. Nevertheless, all participants were willing to use Technology to teach English as a second language. In its conclusion, the report makes significant recommendations, implications, suggestions for future research, and advice for education officials. Even though the study was carried out in Pakistan, the conclusions and suggestions can be used in various educational settings within various territorial context.
