This communication examines recent innovations in language teaching and learning, with a particular focus on e-learning. In the digital age, information and communication technologies (ICT) have revolutionized pedagogical methods, offering new opportunities for language teaching and learning. The central question posed is: how can technological innovations, particularly e-learning, transform language teaching and learning, and what challenges are associated with their integration into educational programs in Algeria?
To conduct this study, we propose the following hypotheses:
-
The use of online learning platforms and mobile applications improves learners' engagement and language performance.
-
Immersive virtual environments offer a more interactive and effective learning experience compared to traditional methods.
-
Teachers require adequate training to effectively integrate technologies into their teaching practices.
Methodology: To carry out this research, we will adopt a mixed-method approach combining qualitative and quantitative methods:
-
Literature Review: Analysis of existing studies on the impact of educational technologies on language teaching and learning.
-
Case Studies: Presentation of concrete cases of technology integration in various educational contexts, highlighting best practices and challenges encountered.
-
Surveys and Interviews: Conducting surveys with teachers and learners to collect data on their perceptions and use of technologies in language learning.
-
Data Analysis: Using statistical methods to analyze quantitative data and content analysis for qualitative data to identify trends and correlations.
Conclusion: This communication aims to provide practical recommendations for educators and policymakers to promote effective and sustainable adoption of educational technologies in the field of language teaching.
