Аннотация

All facets of life are already impacted by technology. The education sector in particular has prospered greatly due to widespread use of technology. Additionally, technology has demonstrated its usefulness in language instruction by serving as a source of inspiration and creating opportunities for real-world instruction. Nevertheless, there are still drawbacks in educating with technology. Learners could misuse technology and become easily distracted. Other than that, using technology frequently can restrict students' capacity for thought. Thus, this paper examines the highlights and difficulties in utilizing technology to teach languages. This paper might be a resource used by educators who want to incorporate technology into ESL instruction. Future studies can examine the impact of technology on students' attitudes. Key words: ESL classrooms, motivation, distraction, potential thinking, authentic learning. ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЕ ТЕХНОЛОГИЙ В КЛАССАХ ESL: ОСНОВНЫЕ МОМЕНТЫ И ПРОБЛЕМЫ Аннотация. Все аспекты жизни уже затронуты технологиями. Сектор образования, в частности, значительно процветал благодаря широкому использованию технологий. Кроме того, технологии продемонстрировали свою полезность в обучении языку, служа источником вдохновения и создавая возможности для обучения в реальных условиях. Тем не менее, в обучении с использованием технологий все еще существуют недостатки. Учащиеся могут неправильно использовать технологии и легко отвлекаться. Помимо этого, частое использование технологий может ограничить мыслительные способности учащихся. Таким образом, в данной статье рассматриваются основные моменты и трудности использования технологий для обучения языкам. Этот документ может стать ресурсом для преподавателей, желающих внедрить технологии в обучение ESL. Будущие исследования смогут изучить влияние технологий на отношение студентов. Ключевые слова: классы ESL, мотивация, отвлечение, потенциальное мышление, подлинное обучение. 1. Introduction Technology is no longer unfamiliar to the people of the world. Technology has played an important role in many spheres of work, particularly education. Over the last two decades, the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in language instruction has become a hot topic (Ahmed & Naser, 2015). Technology has become increasingly important in the teaching and learning process both in and out of the classroom. Language learning benefits from technological advancements. This demonstrates that there is a new period in which current teachers are given difficult obligations. With unprecedented access 3 1 International scientific journal ISSN: 2181-3906 «MODERN SCIENCE АND RESEARCH» 2023 VOLUME 2 / ISSUE 11 / UIF:8.2 / MODERNSCIENCE.UZ to technology, the traditional teaching style has been radically altered. The use of technology has made it possible to have more fascinating and productive teaching and learning sessions, particularly in language acquisition. Technology, according to Shyamlee and Phil (2012), has been a crucial driver of both social and linguistic change. With English being an international language and its global development, it is utilized as a second language in countries such as India and Malaysia. Some people consider English to be their first language. In many countries, English has become the language of instruction and curriculum. As the number of English learners grows, different teaching approaches are being tested to determine the efficacy of the teaching process (Shyamlee & Phil, 2012). Language is one of the most important aspects of communication. Students use several aspects of English language skills such as listening, speaking, reading, and writing. There are, however, exceptions. According to Rosicka and Mayerova (2014), the goal of the new educational era is to use technology to engage the present and future generations as active members of society. According to Harwati (2018), the current generation is referred to as "digital natives" due to their high degree of computer literacy. If technology is not used in education as a means of communication and idea exchange, it is absolutely inconceivable (Ahmed & Naser, 2015). When students are involved in knowledge building, collaboration, and reflection, using computers as learning tools can support effective learning (Rosicka & Mayerova, 2014). Using technology in the classroom can increase student engagement and motivation, especially for the younger, tech-savvy generation. 2. Technology in ESL classrooms ICT is being used more and more in the realm of education (Rafiq & Hashim, 2018). According to Abunowara (2016), educational technology has the potential to permanently alter how teachers instruct and how students learn. With the advent of a new era in education and technology, the blank canvas of language teaching and learning has undergone significant inventiveness and changes during the past ten years. The field of teaching English as a second language (ESL) has been greatly impacte
