USING TECHNOLOGY IN TEACHING ENGLISH WITH INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARDS AND ONLINE RESOURCES

Abstract

The study  explores the integration of technology in English language teaching, focusing on the use of interactive whiteboards  and online resources. Technology has revolutionized traditional teaching methods, offering educators innovative tools to enhance classroom instruction and foster student engagement. Interactive whiteboards enable dynamic, multimedia presentations, interactive lessons, and collaborative activities, catering to diverse learning styles. Additionally, online resources provide access to a vast array of educational content, including language learning platforms, digital exercises, and authentic materials. These resources support both in-class and independent learning, encouraging language practice beyond the classroom. While the effective use of technology can enhance language acquisition and learner motivation, challenges such as technical issues and the need for teacher training remain. This paper emphasizes the importance of a balanced approach, where technology complements traditional teaching strategies. By leveraging the benefits of interactive whiteboards and online resources, educators can create an enriched, inclusive, and effective English language learning environment.
