INTEGRATING EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY INTO COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE TEACHING: ENHANCING INTERACTION AND LEARNER AUTONOMY IN THE MODERN EFL CLASSROOM

Abstract

As digital tools transform the global educational landscape, English language classrooms worldwide are transitioning from traditional, teacher-centered models to interactive, learner-centered approaches. This article examines how technology can be strategically integrated within the framework of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) to enhance learning outcomes for diverse, international audiences. It highlights innovative digital tools that foster authentic communication, discusses benefits and challenges across cultural contexts, and proposes evidence-based pedagogical strategies for optimizing technology-supported communicative tasks in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom worldwide.
