Abstract
Educators and teachers generally use a traditional approach in English language teaching. They use books, flashcards, and whiteboards to organize a lecture. However, at present times, teaching through traditional methods is not considered effective. We live in the advanced technology age, where teaching through a blended method is more practical and effective. For this reason, a teacher should be acquainted with the various technology tools to be used effectively in the classroom. The use of technology plays playing a significant role in English language teaching and learning (ELTL). In this paper, the authors will explore the uses of technology such as the internet, websites, electronic dictionaries, softwares and social networking technologies in English language teaching and learning.
