TECHNOLOGY-ASSISTED LANGUAGE LEARNING IN SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION

Abstract

Technology-assisted language learning (TALL) has become a pivotal component in second language acquisition (SLA), offering innovative tools and methods to enhance language learning outcomes. This article explores the role of technology in SLA, focusing on its benefits, challenges, and practical applications. By reviewing current literature and case studies, the study highlights how digital tools such as mobile apps, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence are transforming language education. The findings suggest that TALL can significantly improve language proficiency, engagement, and accessibility, but its success depends on effective implementation, teacher training, and addressing the digital divide.
