Integration of Technology to Facilitate English Learning Outside Classrooms

Abstract

This research work tends to ascertain the role of technology in integrating the pronunciation of English among students outside the classroom. Higher National Diploma II in Umaru Ali Shinkafi Polytechnic, Sokoto, Nigeria, was selected for the study. Questionnaires were used to gather data from the students. Results were presented using a bar chart (Figure I-X). The results obtained showed that 50% of the population responded that the use of technology in learning English language pronunciation proved very effective, 35% responded that it was effective, and 15% suggested that the method was less effective. Approximately 50% responded, suggesting learners often watch videos or clips related to spoken English, while 40% suggested learners occasionally understand the lyrics of English songs. Researchers urged parents and teachers to encourage students to learn English vocals outside the classroom environment so as to feel free and use technological devices to comprehend the vocals effectively.
