This meta-synthesis aimed to determine the technological landscape of English Language Teaching (ELT) in Asia over the past decade. Through meticulous screening of relevant studies, a thematic analysis of 14 qualitative and primary sources revealed a reliance on internet platforms, mobile devices, gadgets, and robots to facilitate effective English instruction. Yet, a critical evaluation of contemporaneity revealed deficiencies in ELT technologies, ranging from source unreliability to technological unfamiliarity, alongside notable strengths such as user-friendliness and timeliness of information. Addressing these shortcomings demands a concerted effort to equip students and educators with the requisite devices and training. Furthermore, fostering a conducive learning environment mandates tailored curriculum enhancements to bolster technical proficiency and the seamless integration of emerging technologies. Collaboration among parents, institutional leaders, and the educational community is paramount for navigating the adoption of new technologies, both within and beyond the traditional classroom. Delineating clear learning objectives, providing adequate skills training, and instituting appropriate curriculum changes are pivotal in harnessing the full potential of technology for English language learning. © 2026, Can Tho University.
