Abstract
This article explores how technology is reshaping the way people learn languages, highlighting the shift from traditional classroom methods to digitally enhanced, learner-centered approaches. Through the use of mobile applications, artificial intelligence, virtual classrooms, and online communication tools, language learning has become more accessible, personalized, and interactive. The literature review presents a range of studies that demonstrate both the benefits and limitations of technology in language acquisition. The discussion emphasizes the importance of balancing digital tools with human interaction and pedagogical structure. The findings
suggest that while technology significantly enhances the language learning experience, its effectiveness depends on thoughtful integration and learner engagement.
