The impact of Technology on Language Learning
Keywords:
xAbstract
The advent of technology has significantly transformed various facets of life, and education is no exception. Among the myriad ways technology has influenced education, its impact on language learning stands out as particularly profound. The intersection of technology and language learning has opened up new possibilities and methodologies that were previously inconceivable. From the advent of digital dictionaries to the sophisticated use of artificial intelligence (AI) in personalized learning apps, technology has revolutionized how we acquire new languages. This transformation has made language learning more accessible, interactive, and effective, thereby reshaping traditional educational paradigms.
