Reforming English Language Education through ICT and E-Learning: A Comprehensive Review of Impacts on Student Learning

Abstract

The purpose of this review is to examine the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and e-learning tools in English language teaching and analyze their impact on student learning outcomes. As digital technologies continue to evolve, educators are exploring innovative ways to enhance their teaching methods. This review synthesizes findings from various studies to assess how ICT and e-learning facilitate language acquisition, engage students, promote autonomy, and improve overall performance. The paper draws on empirical studies and pedagogical reports to evaluate the use of ICT tools in different teaching environments, highlighting the opportunities for increased engagement, interactivity, and access to authentic materials and feedback. While the use of ICT and e-learning tools has proven beneficial, their effectiveness varies depending on teaching practices, teachers’ technological competence, and institutional support. The review also identifies challenges such as limited infrastructure and insufficient training, which can hinder the successful integration of technology. Ultimately, the review stresses the importance of thoughtful instructional planning, strong digital skills, and continuous evaluation to fully harness the potential of technology in language teaching, ensuring that digital tools align with pedagogical goals to create inclusive and sustainable learning experiences.
