Abstract

The advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, commonly referred to as Industry 4.0, has ushered in significant technological advancements and disruptions across industries, including education. The teaching of English as a second language has been particularly impacted, with digital tools, artificial intelligence, and online platforms reshaping traditional pedagogical approaches. This paper explores the challenges faced by English teachers in adapting to these changes, as well as the innovative teaching methodologies enabled by Industry 4.0 technologies. We discuss the role of technology in enhancing learner engagement, the need for teacher upskilling, and the potential implications for English language proficiency in a globalized economy. Using case studies from various educational contexts, we propose strategies to successfully integrate Industry 4.0 technologies into English language teaching while preserving the human element of education. The findings suggest that while technology enhances learning efficiency, teacher adaptability and continuous professional development remain key to leveraging the benefits of the 4.0 era.
