Abstract
This research work surveys The Role of Instructional Technology in the Effective Teaching of English language in Senior Secondary schools in Oredo Local Government area of Edo state. This work shows that Instructional Technology plays a significant role in the teaching and learning of the English language, which has hitherto been a subject that many senior secondary schools’ students find challenging to pass, especially, in certificate exams such as WAEC and NECO. This work identifies six research questions to which the descriptive survey research design is employed and a well-tested and validated
questionnaire is used in gathering the answers from teachers and students of the English language in five randomly selected schools in
Oredo local government area of Edo state. Similarly, a review of related literature is carried out to provide a good basis for the conclusion of the work. Findings show that, with Instructional Technology, students, on one hand, actively perform better in the subject, find English language
lessons more interesting, engaging and stimulating, understand and learn the subject faster. On the other hand, teachers, are able to monitor
and manage the students' progress in the subject, motivate as well as stimulate the students to learn and gather real-time feedback from the
students which helps in evaluating the success of each lesson, hence, ascertaining that Instructional Technology is the best complementary tool for teachers in effectively teaching the English language and should be adopted by every school in teaching the English language
and other subjects. However, it is recommended that Instructional Technology be adopted
by every secondary school in Oredo local government area and other local government areas of edo state, in teaching the English language and other subjects, online learning should also be adopted by schools and the Edo state Government should do the best in ensuring
Instructional Technology is available in all government-owned secondary schools in the state.
