The main objective of this article is to assort various uses of technologies as a teaching-learning tool in a virtual learning environment. The use of technology has impacted every element of human life, and it has the ability to play a pivotal role in the fields of education and training, particularly in distant learning, to transform it into a cutting-edge learning environment. New technologies are increasingly needed in the teaching and learning process. The information age transforms into an era of knowledge, offering sound and unequalled practicality for information exchange, communication, and exploration to enhance the teaching and learning process. Different educational technologies have benefited both instructors and students, they have taught teachers how to incorporate technology into their classrooms, and students are becoming more engrossed in learning using technology. Through digital learning tools like PCs, iPads, cellphones, and smart digital white boards, technology has digitized classrooms. Additionally to increasing student involvement and passion for studying, it has enhanced course offerings. This research paper deals with the issues that teachers encounter when using conventional ways to teach English are discussed. It suggests five innovative language-learning games that use technology to teach learners syntax structures.
