Managing Technology-Enhanced English Language Programs: A Strategic Framework at Dong Nai Technology University

Abstract

The integration of technology into English language teaching has transformed pedagogical approaches, offering both opportunities and challenges. This study presents a strategic framework for managing technology-enhanced English language programs at Dong Nai Technology University (DNTU). Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research investigates the effectiveness of current technological tools and strategies employed in DNTU's English programs.Qualitative data were collected through interviews with faculty members to explore their experiences and perceptions, while quantitative data were gathered via student surveys assessing language proficiency and engagement levels. Findings indicate that while technology integration has improved accessibility and flexibility in language learning, challenges such as varying digital literacy levels and the need for continuous professional development persist. The study proposes a strategic framework emphasizing comprehensive training, infrastructure enhancement, and continuous evaluation to optimize technology use in English language education. This framework aims to serve as a model for institutions seeking to effectively integrate technology into their language programs, thereby enhancing learning outcomes and student engagement.
