Technology’s Impact on Attention Retention and EFL Learning

ATTENTION MATTERS: Technology’s Impact on Attention Retention and EFL Learning

With Joanna Paolinelli.

This webinar explores how EFL learners can navigate the reality of fragmented attention in digital environments. Research from King’s College London (2022) highlights that nearly 50% of individuals—especially younger users immersed in digital media—experience shorter attention spans. The constant switching between apps and multitasking is not just a challenge but a defining feature of modern cognition.

Rather than viewing this shift as an obstacle, we will examine how learners can balance moments of fragmented attention with intentional, focused engagement. How can educators and learners create structured yet flexible learning moments that work within, rather than against, the realities of digital engagement? This session will explore strategies that leverage technology to enhance language learning—through listening, reading, speaking, and interactive engagement—while fostering deeper retention and comprehension.

By embracing new patterns of attention rather than resisting them, we can develop practical approaches to help learners thrive in today’s tech-driven world.
