The Impact of Technology on ELT Classroom Dynamics: A Study on Teacher-Student Interaction

Abstract: The advent of technology has transformed the English Language Teaching (ELT) landscape, revolutionizing the way teachers and students interact in the classroom. This study investigates the impact of technology on ELT classroom dynamics, focusing on teacher-student interaction. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining surveys, observations, and interviews with teachers and students. The findings reveal that technology has both positive and negative effects on teacher-student interaction, influencing factors such as communication, engagement, and feedback. The study concludes that technology can enhance ELT classroom dynamics when used judiciously, but its over-reliance can hinder effective teacher-student interaction.
