Abstract
This investigation examined how in recent years, technological advancements have significantly transformed various aspects of education, including language (Twi) learning and teaching. The impact of technological tools on Ghanaian language (Twi) lesson delivery: The role of college tutors in integrating these tools effectively to achieve quality education cannot be over-emphasized in achieving quality education. The purpose of this investigation was to understand how the utilization of technology can enhance the teaching and learning experiences of Ghanaian languages specifically Twi, while also examining the challenges faced by tutors in using these tools in their lesson delivery. The study adopts a single research approach, qualitative data collection methods. The research design was descriptive in nature. Interviews were conducted on college tutors in Ghanaian language (Twi) departments and units to gauge their awareness, attitudes, and experiences regarding the use of technological tools in language instruction. In all, fifty (50) participants were targeted for the investigation. Focus group discussions and interviews were used to elicit significant information for the data analysis from Wesley College of Education, St. Ambrose College of Education, Akrokerri College of Education and Atebubu College of Education. The investigation revealed that most of the Ghanaian Language (Twi) tutors lack the knowledge and skills to use the technological tools. It was also identified that technological tools facilitate teaching and learning process. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) theory was the theoretical framework on which this investigation was conducted.
