The research employs both qualitative and quantitative methods to gather data from language teachers and students, focusing on the types of technology used, their perceived benefits, and the challenges faced in the classroom. The findings indicate that digital tools significantly improve student engagement and motivation, but issues like lack of teacher training and infrastructure limitations hinder full integration.
