Exploratory Study on The Paradigm Shift in the Education System with Technology Assisted ELT.

The utilization of ICT, or Information and Communications Technology, in the pedagogical realm of English Language instruction is currently experiencing a significant surge in popularity and relevance. The field of English language instruction has witnessed a multitude of transformative advancements throughout the course of preceding centuries. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has attained a state of omnipresence in the contemporary world, wherein its significance permeates across a multitude of domains encompassing health, sports, transportation, textiles, entertainment, and beyond. Given its perpetual growth and undeniable significance within the realm of Education, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) wields a transformative power within the classroom, seamlessly integrating itself into diverse approaches to language instruction. It facilitates a transition from a pedagogical paradigm centered around the teacher to one that prioritizes the needs and interests of the student. The conventional implements, namely chalk, chart, and their ilk, have been supplanted by more sophisticated apparatuses such as smart screens, projectors, and LCD screens equipped with speakers, microphones, and video capabilities, among other enhancements. This manuscript draws inspiration from an online course offered by IIT Bombay, delving into diverse approaches and methodologies pertaining to the utilization of information and communication technology (ICT) in the facilitation of the teaching-learning process.
