INTRODUCTION English is a language which has vast scope and influences the whole personality of an individual. There is no doubt that English has become a universal language. It has been the basic medium of communication in both academic world as well as the professionals when it comes to having a lucrative career, English proficiency is regarded as the mandatory skill. It is taught all over the world. Latest trends of technology in English language teaching have made language learning more easier. Today language teachers are frequently making use of technology. The technology not only helps in improving the basic skills but also positively contributes in the development of high thinking skills. The simplest thinking skills are learning facts and recall while higher thinking skills include critical thinking analysis and problem solving. Technology offers various powerful learning tools including multimedia and virtual learning environment to involve the students for learning English language. The use of technologies such as PowerPoint and interactive white board is attracting the students in classroom. The use of technology in English language teaching has proved beneficial but there are some clear inadequacies also. Lack of proper training, limited access to sufficient quantities of a technology and the extra time required for implementation of technology are just a few of the reasons technology is often not used intensively in the classroom in English language teaching. This paper intends to maximize the positive effect of new emerging technology in teaching English language and to minimize the negative effects of emerging technology in English language teaching and makes suggestion for teaching English language through multimedia technology. Emerging new technology is a term meant to encompass the emergence of digital computerized, network information and communication technologies in the later part of the 20 th century. 1 New media usually includes: online news, streaming video and streaming audio, websites, 3-D and virtual reality environments and effects, highly interactive user interfaces, mobiles, presentation and computing capabilities, CD and DVD media, telephone and digital data integration, online communities, live internet broadcasting, print media includes all newspaper, magazines, books, paper pamphlets, radio and televison, telegraphs are included in broadcast media. Blogging, citizen and tradition journalism social networking are included in new media for journalists. New technology plays a meaningful and natural role in the everyday life of old, young people and children. The paradox of new technology is that their use opens up educational opportunities that move these tools towards the immediate goals of those for whom they have been designed. Our general aim is to explore the design and use of new emerging technology in English language teaching. Finally and in view of this background our aim is to investigate how specific new emerging technology which is an innovative media that generates experiences using all the possible divergent expertise and emerging technologies that can be used in English language teaching. The study clearly implies that the media can make a product huge success over its competitors if it is designed properly, conveyed effectively to target audiences. With so many techniques flooding in, Education has become an essential requirement. This paper intends to familiarize and train the interested audience in exploring the potential of this wonderful asset for designing a more workable interesting and effective lessons plans compatible with more recent methods and theories of English language teaching and learning in communication approach. The word technology comes from the Greek word "Techne" which means craft or art. Another work technique with the same origin is used in teaching methodology.
