Abstract

In the rapidly evolving landscape of education, the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has become imperative, especially in English as a Second Language (ESL) classrooms. This paper synthesizes existing literature to elucidate the multifaceted importance of ICT integration in ESL teaching. With the advent of digital tools, educators are presented with opportunities to enhance language learning experiences, cater to diverse learner needs, and foster interactive and engaging pedagogical practices. Moreover, ICT facilitates authentic wide range of source language used through exposure to real-world contexts, thereby promoting language acquisition and proficiency. This article explores various ICT applications such as multimedia resources, educational software, and online platforms, highlighting their potential in facilitating language learning. Furthermore, it discusses the challenges associated with ICT integration, including access disparities and pedagogical concerns, while proposing strategies to address these issues effectively. By embracing ICT integration, ESL educators can create dynamic and inclusive learning environments that empower learners to thrive in today's interconnected world. This review underscores the imperative role of ICT in ESL education and advocates for its thoughtful integration to maximize learning outcomes and equip learners with essential skills for success in a digital era.
