Abstract

In the past decade, foreign language education has witnessed a rapid integration of new pedagogical technologies aimed at enhancing learners’ engagement, autonomy, and communicative competence. This paper investigates several of the most promising technological innovations in second/foreign language teaching—such as intelligent tutoring systems, virtual exchange, data-driven learning, generative AI chatbots, gamification, and scaffolding systems—and examines their empirical effects, affordances, and barriers to implementation. Drawing on a mixed-methods review of 40 recent empirical and theoretical studies, we report that these technologies often yield improvements in learner motivation, exposure to authentic input, immediate feedback, and learner autonomy. However, challenges remain in teacher training, infrastructure, learner digital literacy, and pedagogical alignment. The paper concludes with recommendations for more integrative frameworks and future research directions.
