Enhancing English Language Instruction Through Digital Tools Teachers' Perceptions From Lagos State, Nigeria

Globally, the use of digital technologies in education has changed how people teach and learn. Digital tools in language education offer chances for interactive learning, better communication, and easier access to learning materials. This study looks into how instructors in Lagos State, Nigeria, see the value of using digital tools to improve English language training. A standardized questionnaire was used to gather data from 120 English language instructors in particular secondary schools using a descriptive survey research approach. The results showed that teachers believe digital tools can enhance students' motivation, engagement, comprehension, and teamwork when learning a language. Multimedia presentations, educational software, online platforms, and digital assessment tools were identified as especially useful tools. However, obstacles including poor infrastructure, insufficient training for teachers, and erratic internet connectivity prevent complete integration. The study comes to the conclusion that better technology assistance and ongoing professional development are necessary for the effective use of digital tools in English language training. Investments in digital tools and teacher training programs are among the recommendations.
