Abstract

In line with the advancement of technology, educators should not use the old approach to teaching students. This is because, by the 21st-century education is increasingly emphasizing the use of technology to produce innovative, brilliant and competitive generations. In the past, the use of computer technology was more focused on science and technology, but now all fields of social science such as language field have taken advantage of its use. Therefore, the language teaching and learning process should also evolve in line with the advancement of information and communication technology. This paper provides the content analysis of the use of technology in language education published in online journals from the "Academic Search Premier @EBSCOhost" databases. The study analysed 21 technology-related articles in language education from 2017 to 2018. Findings from content analysis found that the majority of articles on technology in language education were using experimental approaches. The study also found that most studies focus on English as a second language or foreign language. In addition, students are more often used as samples than teachers. The use of technology is found to have a positive impact on language learning, but some obstacles need to be addressed. The findings of this study can be used as a reference by researchers who study technology related to language education. This article also provides recommendations for future research on technology in language education.
