Abstract
AbstractThe rapid evolution of digital communication has led to a drastic change in the face of education, especially regarding language acquisition. Despite these advances in digital communication, all possible ways through which computer tools of communication, be it any social media, messaging application, or online forums, take an influence on language acquisition are researched either regarding vocabulary development, changing patterns of communication, or enhancing the quality of spelling. It highlights how much reliance on web-based tools there is in supporting interactive, real-time practice and response in the learning of a language through a comprehensive survey of digital use among language learners. Some of the findings include that such resources enhance vocabulary building and involvement by the users themselves but also impose overdependence on the autocorrect function, which can imperil spelling mastery. Ultimately, contextual learning through digital settings exposes learners to rich linguistic styles and expressions of culture. From this study, such valuable insights are garnered on the influence of communication on the digital platform toward language learning. Through such research, teaching staff should be called upon to implement such tools in instructional strategies with balanced actualization in language development.Keywords: Digital communication, Language acquisition, Vocabulary development, Spelling mastery, Interactive learning, Web-based tools, Real-time practice, Cultural expressions, Educational technology, Autocorrect reliance
