Abstract: Teaching English language to primary students has evolved significantly with the integration of innovative technologies in the classroom. This article explores the impact of innovative technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), gamification, interactive multimedia, and adaptive learning platforms, on the teaching and learning of English as a second language (ESL) among primary students. The article discusses various innovative tools and approaches that educators can use to create engaging and effective language learning experiences for young learners. It also examines the benefits, challenges, and best practices associated with incorporating innovation technologies into ESL instruction at the primary level. The article concludes with recommendations for educators and policymakers on leveraging innovative technologies to optimize English language teaching outcomes in primary education settings.
