This article critically examines the transformative dynamics of English teaching and technology in higher education, focusing on the implications through the lens of posthumanism. As technology integration continues to revolutionize the educational landscape, it is crucial to explore innovative perspectives to comprehend its impact on English language teaching. While the integration of technology holds the promise of enhancing teaching and learning experiences, it simultaneously calls for a critical examination of the ethical, pedagogical, and sociocultural implications it entails. This study adopts a posthumanist perspective, recognizing the complex and interconnected relationship between humans and technology, and aims to uncover how this relationship can shape the future of English language education. By thoroughly examining the transformative potential of technology in the English language classroom, this article seeks to encourage educators to embrace technological advancements while critically reflecting on the multifaceted implications of this paradigm shift.
