Abstract

Technology-enhanced language teaching (TELT) is one of the latest approaches to teaching English as a foreign language (EFL), which refers to the use of computers, mobile devices and Web 2.0 tools for educational purposes. The importance of research into the benefits of integrating digital technologies in language teaching is underlined by the fact that teachers should make their teaching strategies as effective as possible for 21st century learners. This work is focusing on the investigation of TELT based on the study of the attitudes and classroom experience of prospective English language teachers. A questionnaire-based study was conducted with students of English language and literature at Ferenc Rákóczi II Transcarpathian Hungarian College of Higher Education. The results show that the participants prefer a combination of traditional and innovative language teaching methods. Although the integration of TELT into the EFL classes in Transcarpathia is hindered by a number of problems, teachers are highly recommended to modernise their teaching methods.
