Abstract:
This article explores the integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in language learning, comparing its benefits to those of traditional teaching methods. It highlights the capabilities of ICTs to provide increased accessibility, personalization and diversity of multimedia resources, which can improve learners' engagement and autonomy. At the same time, it recognizes the irreplaceable value of the deep in-person interactions and cultural immersion provided by traditional methods.
An attempt has been made to propose a hybrid model that combines the strengths of both approaches, using the structure of traditional methods and ICT innovation to create a rich and effective learning environment. Also discussing the challenges related to the integration of ICTs, such as the need for training for educators and unequal access to technologies.
In conclusion, it recommends further research to optimise the integration of ICT in language education and suggests that the adoption of a well-designed hybrid approach could transform language learning, preparing learners to succeed in a globalised world.
