Description: The purpose of learning English in India in recent decades has entered a different phase, with a shift in focus from enrichment to survival in the real-world environment. This paper aims at discussing the existing practices of using technology in the curriculum for learners who learn English as a Second Language (ESL) at university level. It also focusses on the future prospects of effective integration of technology into the regular curriculum for learning English, especially in the Indian context. It further strengthens the idea that a comprehensive and structural curriculum using innovative teaching methodologies will certainly cultivate and augment the learners’ talents for their future career. Though technology has rich and advanced resources, the paper confines itself to the use of costeffective and frequently-used Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools,especially computers, which offer maximum benefits to learners.
