Impact of Technology on Language Learning: A Study of Student Engagement

Author(s): Dr. Auradkar Sarika Pradiprao

Abstract:

This conceptual paper examines the role of technology in learners' involvement in language learning. It attempts to integrate recent literature and build a model that connects technological tools with behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement levels. As documented in Scopus and Web of Science, the peer-reviewed literature was synthesized. This paper categorizes technological interventions, including mobile applications, artificial intelligence (AI) tools, learning management systems (LMS), and immersive technologies, and correlates these with student engagement levels in language learning. Technology advances learner participation through interactivity, enhanced motivation, and greater levels of personalization. Mobile learning and game-like features reinforce behavioral participation, while AI tools and private practice settings foster emotional engagement. Guided learning pathways and real-time feedback support cognitive engagement, fostering a deeper understanding of the material. A conceptual framework is proposed to guide further research and practical application. The theoretical problem suggests a unique digital language engagement tool by analyzing dimensions of interaction with digital frameworks in language acquisition. The study provides comprehensive and practical recommendations for educators, curriculum designers, and decision-makers on language teaching and learning with the aid of technology.
