In the ELT field, 21^st century learning is actually a form of learning that we are all familiar with. This goes much further beyond traditional learning, with this approach changing our world as technology enters every aspect of our lives. In general, if we think of the student not only as an academic but also as a social part of society, it is an important part of the 21st-century learning skills 4C, namely communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity to be integrated with technology.

As future teachers, we should acknowledge that we may develop comprehensive skills throughout our educational journey that enable us to transfer knowledge to our students effectively. By integrating technology, we have the opportunity to improve language education. We can utilize interactive tools, online platforms and even multimedia content to make our students learn the language by making it more engaging and impactful instead of relying on traditional methods which focus solely on memorization.
