Abstract

The integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in English Language Teaching (ELT) has significantly transformed teaching methods and improved the accessibility of education resources. ICTs, including web- enabled resources, mobile devices, Artificial Intelligence, and computer software, have made ELT more engaging and interactive for learners of all levels. They can bridge gaps in quality education, especially in remote and marginalized regions, and promote self- paced learning, instant response, and active participation. ICTs also help overcome the digital divide by providing learners with knowledge about different cultures and peoples, enhancing international cooperation. They contribute to education reform processes in line with global agendas like Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Equitable Quality Education). However, concerns like lack of technology, teacher training, and culture can limit the efficient use of ICT in ELT. © 2026, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
