Abstract

The aim of the study was to develop the strategy for teaching English Language by using Modern technology. The Study focused to analyze that i) How the technology can help to learn languages at very basic level, (ii) How the usage can be enhanced by the technology in language learning (iii) How modern technologies can be integrated in language learning. The study was experimental in nature and cross sectional survey method was used to collect the data. All 731(414 male 317 female) teachers of district Kotli who were teaching English at primary level were being pointed out as the population. Stratified disproportionate random sampling technique was used to select the sample. Hence 100 (50 male and 50 female) teachers were selected as a sample of the study. Researcher constructed five point Likert scale was used to collect the data. The collected data were analyzed by using SPSS 20 version. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the items and the availability of modern technologies. It was found that English Language teachers use Multimedia, Apps, online games, podcasts and blogging while teaching at primary level. It is concluded that multimedia is the modern technology that teachers use up to the maximum and blogging is the technology used by teachers up to the minimum. It is recommended that keeping the requirements of today’s age, English language teachers may be encouraged to blend their teaching with modern technologies so that their teaching is result oriented and up to the mark with the current scenario.
