The influence of technology on education, specifically language education, is
increasing at different levels. Technology is turning to an integral part of language education all
around the world. This turning point has made teachers and learners to apply digital
technologies in language education in order to develop the required skills in language learning
experience. The use of technology in language education has provided the chance for improved
communication by using the language in practice. Kern, Ware and Warschauer (2008) believe
that language learners cannot solely develop with the input they receive. Rather, an active
engagement with other people and negotiation of meaning is required in order to enhance
learning. Technology provides this chance, both for language teachers and learners, to
practically use the language and enhance learning (Jean and Ponterio, 2003). This review
provides a general overview of the use of technology in language education, its basic
assumptions and operating principles, lesson types, and the application of technology for
teaching language skills.
