A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING AND LEARNING IN DIVERSE CONTEXTS
Abstract
This article explores the best ways to teach foreign languages to non-language students, focusing on using technology effectively. The authors reviewed existing research on this topic, particularly how computers and digital tools are used in Russian universities.
Overall, the tools have incredible potential to improve how language skills are taught and learned. They believe that by creating a technology-rich learning environment, students can improve not just their language abilities, but also their professional skills and digital literacy. To prove this, they tested their own integrated teaching approach using technology and found it to be successful. This research will be helpful for language teachers, curriculum developers, and educational researchers looking for ways to improve language learning with technology.
