Integrating Eclecticism and Technology in Language Teaching: The Case of Lusail University in Qatar

Abstract

The objective of this research is to highlight the importance of technology in teaching languages within an eclectic framework. To achieve this goal, we have discussed how modern pedagogy strongly emphasizes integrating technology into language teaching. We have also analyzed the objective of teaching "Technology in Education" to students seeking a major in teaching English language at Lusail University, Qatar's first private national university. The paper focuses on the students' needs to enhance the teaching and learning process by integrating modern technology tools into teaching to adapt to future shifts in technology and pedagogy. We have insisted on the challenges of technological improvements, and the necessity to anticipate and adapt to unpredictable trends in education. By the time students graduate, the educational technologies can be outdated, and this impacts the relevance of gained skills in the rapidly changing educational environment. This research has therefore observed that by applying appropriate educational approaches and developing teaching practices, students can understand the rapidly changing educational contexts and develop their ability to adapt accordingly.
