1 The negative effects of digital tools on the English language learning STAGE: 1ST (EVENING) Omer sabah omer Omer yousif mohsin 2 1. Introduction (Overview) As one of the international languages, English occupies an important position in the world. Most people use English to communicate with other people from other countries. The development of science, art, culture and technology is inseparable from the role of this language. In recent years, the discourse of globalizatio and internationalization of culture, economics and education has shaped types of English as additional languages, international languages, global languages and universal languages of these different roles in English are due to the growing number of English users from nonEnglish speaking countries (eg China, Indonesia, Iran, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Thailand, Turkey). In addition, despite being criticized as a language of language imperialism, English has gained popularity in foreign language/additional language education over the years; from elementary school to higher education, it has become a required course for formal courses.Information that is not filtered properly can lead to negative behavior changes. The existence of local values is threatened by the great wave of global culture that is the existence of local wisdom (MC – Crum.R. et al., 1986).Therefore, using the technology in the ELT hardware as a gateway to the great wave requires the existence of the filter to incorporate local wisdom into the program.Teaching English using technology teaching materials is very difficult for teachers because not everyone has a thorough knowledge of the use of technology ; As teacher training, the main point for students to learn is meaningful. Teachers should know valid tools to use it in the classroom.However, the use of technology in itself has negative aspects from the point of view of the country of origin of its local wisdom. Information that is not properly filtered , can cause negative behavioral changes. The existence of local values threatened by the massive wave of global culture is the existence of local wisdom.Therefore, using the technology in the ELT material as a gateway to the big wave requires the existence of a filter that incorporates local intelligence. 3 2. Literature Review (Related terms) The teaching of foreign languages, including English, is currently oriented towards the needs of learners. Therefore, the English curriculum must be designed to meet what learners want to learn, not what they should learn or what they should be taught. On the other hand, since each learner is born and trained by their local culture, the influence of their local culture when learning a target or second language including English is unlikely. avoid. Therefore, it is imperative to include the local culture of the learners in the English curriculum. However, people in other countries may not be comfortable with certain changes in Western culture brought about by information and communication technology, which in fact cannot be separated from the use of English. bridge language.In addition to the impact on globalization, it also affects the sociocultural of the society (local wisdom). Globalization has brought about a change or change in the system or rules of growth and development in the society. The development of technology has a huge part in leading our young people to moral decay. The mental and moral damage of our youth is caused by consumerist, materialistic, and individualistic lifestyles. In addition, the proliferation of websites that provide bad explicit images that can be accessed freely have added to the ranks of teen vandals. 3. Previous Studies First research Fathul Zannah negative effects of using technology in English Teaching material (2019) At the beginning of the 21st century, this means entering the era of globalization. Information will be easily accessible from home using 4 technology. What is happening at on the other side of the world can quickly be seen in other regions. The gates between countries open wide without barriers. The diversity of ethnic cultures is gradually blended by This is what John Nesbit calls the universal lifestyle. English as an international language is an integral part of technology globalization. The field of ELT materials has been invaded by the use of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies). The easy access to technology has allowed information to enhance the teaching and learning program, and approximately 80% of it is in English (MC - Crum. R.et al., 1986) Some of the technologies used in the ELT classroom as suggested are Computer Assisted English, Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL), Web Based Learning, Email, Blog, Skype, Mobile, Me pod, Social Media, media streaming like Google Chrome, etc. Second Research Omer Ozer 1*Figen Kılıç 2(2018) The Effect of Mobile-Assisted Language Learning Environment on EFL Students This study reports on the study of the effect of mobile learning environments on academic achievement, acceptance of mobile learning tools and cognitive load of EFL students. This study used a mixed methods approach where involved the collection and analysis of quantitative and qualitative data to determine the impact of mobile learning in a foreign language learning environment. Quantitative data was collected from 63 foreign language learners through the school success test, the cognitive load scale and the acceptance scale of mobile learning tools, before and after the time of learning. intervention. After the intervention, eight students from experimental group 5 answered open-ended questions about their experiences during group interviews. The results show a significant difference in academic achievement and student acceptance of mobile learning tools in favor of the experimental group. Research also shows that although students learning a foreign language in a mobile-supported learning environment did not experience cognitive overload, students in the control group did. Third research Zaldua Moral Ft Chamba Romero 2019 THE INFLUENCE OF TECHNOLOGICAL TEACHING MATERIALS IN THE LEARNING PROCESS OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE The teaching of applied learning materials should be the primary goal of any teacher-developed practice in their classrooms, as well as the effects on learning should be made there. This project is aimed at teachers, especially those responsible for high school students, so that they know technology teaching materials to achieve an effective lesson, by finding researched in a number of journals scientists, to analyze why we should adopt these materials and promote a survey of among teachers; aimed at uncovering technology trends taught in the classroom.Technology teaching materials stimulate students' motivation and interest in learning in all subjects covered in the lesson. By the way, this work study shows that influences exist in the teaching of learning. In addition, several applications are shown to develop activities by applying these materials and achieving the effect of Lesson. The result of this work is the assertion that technological educational materials facilitate the learning of English languages. Forth research Alfonso Fabian Martínez-Chávez (2019) 6 A study of student’s perceptions toward learning english on-line - positive and negative effects English is considered as a global language all over the world as it is widely spoken and written in various fields such as science, media, telecommunications, fashion, music, education, of those other areas. It is also an official language in important institutions such as the United Nations,so learning this language is required in higher education in Ecuadorian universities as well as at lower levels. Currently, the whole world is going through a difficult situation caused by the COVID 19 pandemic. It has affected education, which is currently being held virtual. With this study, one had to assess 4,444 university students' perceptions towards online English learning and its positive and negative effects. 4. Discussion The positive and negative effects of digital technologies and social networking sites on the learning English based on the people how they you using technology In my opinion, in all four researchs, the english language has been discussed how it has a significant effect on the education of the world,and technology has more positive effects than negative effects for Learning English Language. For example on all of researchs talked about that you can using YouTube,Google ,etc as a good tool for Learning English Language but On the other hand, this advanced learning method can cause a bit of loneliness for students, as much of the learning is personal. While forums and chats are useful, it's not like learning English in a face-to-face classroom where there are over interactions. 7 5. Conclusion and Recommendations Technology is like a coin with positive and negative sides. We are the decision makers and we must choose how to use it. The use of technology to overuse resources should be avoided. If we use it for positive things it will have a positive effect on our lives. Some importance of digital tools to learning English language: 1.Thanks to advances in this field, learning English is now an opportunity for more people. These new tools allow more and more people to access educational content regardless of place or time. 2.Another important contribution of technology to learning English is 's ability to chat with people around the world through forums or social media. Many English academies use them for students to practice speaking or writing with people from different cultures. 3.A new educational software makes it possible to monitor the learning of teachers and students. In this way, English lessons can be optimized, by analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of both parts. On the other hand, it has been proven that a method that combines traditional teaching tools with new technological tools will improve pupils' work and help to integrate English more quickly 8 7.
