THE EFFICACY OF DIGITAL PERSONALIZATION IN TESOL: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND SYNTHESIS OF LEARNER OUTCOMES AND PEDAGOGICAL IMPLICATIONS

Abstract

This paper will analyze, examine, evaluate and study the integration technology in TESOL classrooms, with a focus on modifying educational lessons according to individual learner needs and its impact on student outcomes. This research study aims to address the impact of technology on TESOL classrooms and how personalization learning assists learners to achieve their academic language learning goals.

The central objective of this investigation is to determine whether digital tools and personalized learning strengthens student engagement and capabilities beyond the four key language aspects in English, such as reading, listening, writing, and speaking. The research starts with an extensive literature review, examining and investigating the development of digitalization in academic environments and its influence on acquiring a second language. It addresses how technological devices have become significant and crucial in alleviating personalized learning experiences that cater to the needs of each learner, thereby encouraging elevated engagement and motivation amongst all students. The research question focuses on the impact of personalized learning in increasing a student’s classroom engagement and how educators can positively incorporate various personalized learning methodologies to attain better retention rates. It also talks about the interrelation between incorporating digital devices and personalized learning, inspecting their merged effort on learners' success and classroom engagement. This research predominantly relies on secondary research, initiating a comprehensive review of existing literature to evaluate the appropriate strategies for incorporating personal educational plans (IEPs) in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) classrooms, with a focus on technology implementation.

Through an extensive integration of education resources, policy documents, and preliminary experimental studies, the research highlights impactful strategies for personalized learning within language education. Furthermore, observations from academic leaders and educators are implemented to strengthen the outcomes drawn from secondary research. The study evaluates how digital tools and personalized instructional methods can strengthen student engagement and learning outcomes in TESOL environments. Preliminary findings from the literature review portray that implementing adaptive educational technologies and research-based educational perspectives remarkably ameliorate student engagement and language learning.

The research targets to offer functional recommendations for educators, presenting instruction on the cohesive incorporation of personalized educational techniques to streamline teaching efficiency. By aiding the expanding area of study on personalized learning in language education, this study highlights the revolutionary potential of digitally-enhanced personalized instruction. Conclusively, it aims to enlighten future teaching practices in TESOL and associated educational areas, highlighting the obligation of personalized learning frameworks endorsed by digital innovation.
