This article addresses three topics that language instructorsfrequently consider: (1) the use of technology with current students, (2) appropriate methods and technologies for use with current generations, and (3) the implementation of change to increase student engagement. This article argues that engagement is a critical aspect in language classrooms and knowledge of current students, technology, and second language teaching methods can help maintain interest and participation with students.

This research utilizes Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) as a main base for the methodological framework, yet other methods are considered because technology and additional methods, such as the Grammar-Translation Method, the Natural Method, Community Language Learning (CLL), Total Physical Response (TPR), and Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling (TPRS) can be integrated within TBLT to maintain the interest and engagement of current language students.
