Abstract: Significant potential exists for improving learning outcomes through
the use of cutting-edge teaching tools in foreign language instruction. Nonetheless,
during this process, educators frequently face a number of obstacles. By combining
quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with foreign language teachers, this
study attempts to identify and examine these challenges using a mixed-methods
approach. While there are many advantages to technology improvements, research
shows that their successful application is hampered by issues such a lack of training, a
lack of funding, and opposition to change. For language instruction to make the most
of technology, these issues must be resolved.
