Abstract
This study examined the impact of a technology-enhanced approach to teaching and learning English Literature in secondary schools in Oredo Local Government Area of Edo State. The survey research design was adopted because data were collected from a sample population with specific characteristics. Four research questions were formulated and answered using simple percentage analysis. The population of the study consisted of English Literature teachers and senior secondary school students in public secondary schools in Oredo LGA, from which a total of 100 respondents were selected as the sample using a random sampling technique. The instrument used for data collection was a structured questionnaire designed to elicit information on the availability, usage, and effectiveness of technology-enhanced teaching approaches in English Literature classrooms. The study was anchored on the Constructivist Learning Theory and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The Constructivist Learning Theory emphasizes that learners actively construct knowledge through interaction, exploration, and engagement, suggesting that technology-enhanced instructional tools such as multimedia texts, audio- visual resources, and digital platforms can promote deeper understanding of literary concepts. The Technology Acceptance Model explains how perceived usefulness and ease of use influence teachers’ and students’ willingness to adopt educational technologies. Together, these theories provide a strong framework for understanding how technology integration can improve teaching strategies, student engagement, and learning outcomes in English Literature
