| Abstract | This article investigates the latest language teaching and learning digital platforms, particularly concerning the impact of emerging instructional technologies and digitalized communication on foreign language learning. Computer systems, tablets, and smartphones are all considered as they relate to the effects of rapidly developing technological innovations. The study also shows interest in the ethical concerns of using digital tools and platforms. The data was gathered employing a questionnaire that modelled the effect of instructors on students' independent and self-guided use of technology in language study. Fifty high school teachers and 250 high school students were polled for the study. The study's population was determined by its goals, and online surveys were sent to educators and their students. Six digital platforms were investigated: Kahoot, Kahoot Jumble, Quizlet, Quizlet Live, Duolingo, and Sporcle. The data presented and analyzed indicated a significant effect of digital tools on the learners' attitudes toward learning a foreign language. Over 80% of teachers and students accept that digital tools and platforms facilitate foreign language learning. The result further suggests a gender perspective on the usage of digital tools, with female participants dominating the usage. Also, there are ethical concerns, wherein over 70% of the students reiterate that teachers must respect their digital privacy. The results of this research could help general education teachers encourage their students to use digital tools effectively when studying a foreign language. |
