Abstract

The teaching aids as an interface have been able to play their role well. It will be better if teachers have the necessary skills to use these tools.  Today, experts and thinkers around the world emphasize the importance and determining the role of educational technology in the learning process and believe that the optimal use of teaching aids instead of teachers will have a constructive effect on improving the quality of education. Due to our country's educational system's problems in teaching English and the lack of skills of trained students, especially in speaking, listening, and writing, many parents try to cover this shortage in the educational system by resorting to advanced schools.  Thus, in this article, we decided to examine the role of teaching assistive technologies in facilitating English language teaching in classrooms.
