The Impact of Technology on English Language Learning Motivation

This study examines the impact of technology on students’ motivation in English Language Learning (ELL). In recent years, digital tools such as mobile applications, artificial intelligence, and online learning platforms have significantly changed language learning environments. According to Dörnyei (2019), motivation is one of the most influential factors in second, directly affecting learners’ persistence and success. Findings indicate that technology generally enhances motivation through increased engagement, accessibility, and personalized learning. However, challenges such as distraction and over-dependence on digital tools may reduce learning effectiveness. The study concludes that technology is most beneficial when integrated into structured and balanced pedagogical frameworks .
