Abstract
The objective of the article is to throw light on the significant role of modern
technology in stimulating foreign language teaching. Despite many approaches and methods,
a foreign language teaching has to overcome many hurdles. While the mother tongue
acquisition takes place in a natural setting, foreign language, in many cases remains a
foreign language for the learners with certain difficulties in mastering it. The pull of
the mother-tongue is a problem to be reckoned with. The problems of learning and
teaching foreign languages are highlighted in the article.
The use of the latest technology can help teachers to a considerable extent to facilitate foreign
language teaching. The revolutionary strides of modern technology have to be effectively
put to use. Modern technology can motivate group learning and distance learning.
Weakness can be converted into strength and productivity can be boosted with the aid
of modern technology. A multi-media approach is considered
a revolutionary approach. The internet is highly useful in foreign language teaching.
