ABSTRACT
This research paper investigates the impact of technology on improving spoken language proficiency among language learners. The study employed survey research to figure out students’ perceptions toward the use of technologies in enhancing spoken language. The study aims to analyze the various technological tools and methodologies used in language education and their effectiveness in enhancing oral communication skills. Through a comprehensive literature review, empirical data collection, and analysis, this paper provides insights into the potential benefits, challenges, and future directions of integrating technology in language learning. The research explores the key aspects of technology-assisted language learning, including language apps, virtual reality, social media, and online platforms. It also addresses the implications of technology-driven language education in terms of individual learning styles and cultural contexts. The findings offer valuable insights for educators, curriculum designers, and learners striving to achieve higher spoken language proficiency.
