Impact of Integrating Information Technology in Teaching English in College of Education: A Systematic Review

Abstract

This systematic review investigates the influence of incorporating information technology (IT) in teaching English in higher education settings. With the rapid growth of technology, its integration in education has garnered considerable attention, and this study aims to offer a complete overview of the consequences of IT integration in the context of English language training. The review takes a systematic approach, identifying, selecting, and analysing relevant scientific articles published between 2010 and 2021. The findings highlight many significant areas where IT integration has considerably impacted English teaching in college settings. These areas include improved language acquisition, higher student engagement and motivation, increased access to learning resources, and the development of digital literacy skills. Furthermore, the assessment cites various problems connected with IT integration, such as technical issues, teacher training requirements, and potential technological access disparities. The findings emphasise the importance of careful preparation, pedagogical considerations, and ongoing assistance to effectively integrate IT in teaching English in college settings. This systematic review adds to the existing literature by synthesising and evaluating current knowledge on the subject, providing valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and researchers interested in leveraging information technology to improve English language instruction in higher education institutions.
