ICTs in English Language Teaching and Learning Teaching and learning of the English language is one of the main concerns of many educational institutions because English is not only an international language and a lingua-franca of the world’s citizens, but it is also the storehouse of knowledge  Therefore, attempts have been made to enhance English language teaching (ELT)

English language teaching and learning (ELTAL) is effective and more successful with the integration of ICTs .ICTs, the digital technologies, are powerful educational tools; and their use has a significant role in the transfiguration of the pedagogy of teaching and learning.

A variety of technology-enhanced gadgets can create an interactive learning environment to develop learners’ autonomy and meaningful learning, which provides a huge amount of exposure to language.

Use of ICTs in Teaching and Learning of English The teachers and the students in both colleges found ICTs beneficial in ELTAL. The class teacher in college A shared their experiences that ICTs have significant importance for increasing the amount of exposure to English to practice all language skills–listening, speaking, reading, writing, and grammar(L-SR-W-G).

The students can find language learning materials such as e-books, journals, articles for enhancing their reading and writing skills; and videos, conversations, and discussions for improving listening and speaking skills. Likewise, the students can find different reference materials such as dictionaries, and grammar books; and language skills related exercises, apps, or online/offline programs to practice English language skills.
