Supporting English Language learners through technology

Abstract

TEYL has taken on a new dimension recently, as it has become an issue of paramount importance. Indeed, it has become integrated in many university curricula and discussed in several academic institutions and circles. It should be noted, in this regard, that new technology has played a significant role in facilitating TEYL, especially when English language learners benefit from the rein-forcement of linguistic structures to express themselves through pictures, graphics, and from the use of new technology platforms. This paper is going to contextualize the use of technology in the digital era we are living in and then it is going to look at some aspects of its various uses among young learners and how it helps them cope with the changes and challenges of the 21st century.
