Abstract:
In recent times, the dynamism of information communication technology has
created a complete new world of learning. Advances in Information Communication
Technology (ICT) have great potentials of teaching and learning in education.
Besides, the journey towards technological development and the growth of
language could be traced from several decades before the independence of
several African countries, including Nigeria considering the fact that language is an
essential ingredient for all learning at all levels. Education also is essential for the
development of individual and the growth of any dynamic society. Education and
language are the backbone of any prosperous nation, and the core of the civilization
of any dynamic nation. This study seeks to examine the diversities of technological
devices in education towards the teaching and learning of English language in Nigeria
secondary schools. The subject sampled were senior secondary school students
and teachers. Simple percentage and frequency counts were used to analyse the
data collected. The findings of this study indicate that technological advancement
in education is a major route to enhancing teachers’ effectiveness in the classroom
activities and students achievement in English language; if conducive environment
are ensured and teachers are trained and well – motivated. This is a very germane
initiative towards the growth and development of both the teachers and learners
of English language. Recommendations were given on the usefulness of various
technological devices and strategies to improve students’ academic achievement
in English language through the judicious application of these multimedia devices.
