IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY ON ENGLISH LANGUAGE COMMUNICATION

Abstract

The rise of digital technology has significantly influenced English language communication, 
shaping the way people interact, share information, and express themselves. This study examines 
how key technological advancements, such as the internet, mobile devices, social media, and 
artificial intelligence, have altered vocabulary, syntax, and communication norms. The rapid shift 
in language use presents challenges in both formal and informal communication contexts, 
impacting native and non-native speakers alike. By exploring the effects of technology on various 
communication scenarios: educational, professional, and social, the study identifies critical trends 
in digital communication and their implications for language educators, policymakers, and 
communicators. The findings suggest that while technology offers opportunities for more dynamic 
and global interactions, it also creates tensions in maintaining linguistic standards and 
understanding across different platforms. Understanding these shifts is essential to adapt 
communication practices effectively in the digital era.
