Technology has revolutionized the field of language education, offering innovative approaches to teaching and learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL). This paper explores the impact of technology on EFL instruction,focusing on its influence on pedagogical practices, learner engagement, and language acquisition. It investigates the integration of digital tools such as artificial intelligence, online learning platforms, and virtual classrooms. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving surveys and interviews with EFL educators and learners. Findings indicate that technology enhances access to resources, promotes interactive learning environments, and facilitates personalized instruction. However, challenges such as digital divide and over-reliance on technology were also identified. The study concludes with recommendations for effectively integrating technology into EFL instruction.
