Abstract

Twenty-first century Student at tertiary level carries more than a traditional resource pack in classroom. With the introduction of modern technology, the dynamics of teaching and learning has reshaped. This paper aims to investigate the use of technology in English language teaching and learning at tertiary level in physical classroom. To be more specific, this study was carried out to explore the trends of technology use at tertiary level in English language related courses offered at four private sector universities in Karachi. The data were collected through survey questionnaire via Google forms, from 35 English language teachers, who taught the courses and 134 students enrolled in the courses. Findings reveal that, internet, computers (desktops/laptops), videos and overhead projectors were the most frequently used technology tools out of 21 different types of technology tools on the list with 92%, 78%, 68% and 65% respectively. Whereas, the use of web-based tools such as classwiki, googledocs and e-news were the least practiced for teaching English language. The study concludes that English language teachers at tertiary level were actively using internet and desktop/laptops tools in their classroom while were found to less inclined toward social media based technology forums for teaching purposes.
