This article examines the transformative role of technology, from virtual classrooms and adaptive learning software to gamified apps and immersive environments. While it has improved teaching efficiency and learner engagement, challenges like the digital divide and over-reliance on technology are also discussed. The article advocates for a balanced approach, combining traditional methods with technological advancements. Future prospects, including AI and blockchain, promise further innovation, making TESOL more inclusive and dynamic for learners and educators alike.
