- Abstract
This study examines the language policy and research on technological developments in English Language Teaching in Malaysia. It analyzes the country's language policy and research on technological development in language teaching which has greatly influenced innovations in English language teaching. In the 21st century coupled with technological development, the demand of English has resulted in changes to the teaching of English in schools, colleges and universities. It is evident that the exposure of students to technology has encouraged the integration of technology in English language teaching in Malaysia. The study reveals that the use of facebook, blogs, whatsapp and other technologically driven approaches in teaching English have become popular methodologies in teaching English. Due to rapid technological development, it is recommended that training for English language teachers is necessary in order to cope with the rapid demand for pedagogy that incorporates IT so as to meet the needs of technologically advanced learners.
