Abstract

This paper examines how innovative technologies can be leveraged to enhance the teaching and learning of English among medical students. By integrating emerging digital tools such as virtual reality, mobile applications, and synchronous online platforms, medical English instruction can become more interactive, student-centered, and aligned with real-world clinical contexts. A mixed-methods study was conducted at a medical university, involving both qualitative data from instructor interviews and quantitative data from student performance metrics. Results revealed that students exposed to technology-integrated learning modules demonstrated higher levels of engagement, better test scores, and improved confidence in medical communication. The findings underscore the potential of innovative technologies to transform traditional language education for healthcare professionals, with implications for curriculum design, policy, and institutional support.
